Ceiling Fan Installation in Greater Sacramento
A ceiling fan looks like a simple swap, but doing it right depends on what is above the ceiling. Fans need a box rated to carry a moving load, sound wiring, and controls that match the fan. PR Electric installs and replaces ceiling fans for homeowners in Citrus Heights and the Sacramento area — replacing an existing fan or light fixture, adding a fan where there was none, and correcting the box, wiring, or switching when the existing setup is not up to the job.

- Correct existing wiring problems found in the ceiling or switch box
- Test operation at every speed and verify the fixture is secure
What affects scope & cost
Every project is different, so we scope the work to your situation rather than a one-size-fits-all package. Factors that influence scope include:
- Whether a fan-rated box is already in place or needs to be installed
- Ceiling height, slope, and attic access
- Whether new wiring or an additional switch is needed
- The number of fans being installed or replaced
How it works
- 01Check the box & wiringWe confirm the existing ceiling box is fan-rated and the wiring and switching are sound before anything is hung.
- 02Prepare the mountIf needed, we install a fan-rated box or brace and run new wiring or a separate switch leg for the fan and light.
- 03Install & balanceWe mount the fan and light kit, balance the blades, and secure the canopy and downrod.
- 04Controls & testWe wire the wall switches or remote, then test every speed and the light before we finish.

I will definitely use PR Electric for my future electrical work. Reuben came to replace fans and did a great job that was very reasonably priced. As a residential hiring him for my next job.

Ceiling Fan Installation — FAQ
Often, yes — but the existing box must be fan-rated. Standard light-fixture boxes are not designed for the weight and motion of a fan. We check the box and install a fan-rated box or brace when needed.
Wobble usually comes from an unbalanced fan, a loose mount, or a box that is not rated for a fan. Humming can be a failing motor or an incompatible dimmer controlling the fan. We diagnose the cause and correct it rather than just tightening screws.
Yes. We can run new wiring and a switch to a room with no existing fixture. The approach depends on attic access and ceiling construction, and we keep drywall impact clean and minimal.
Yes. Depending on the existing wiring, we can add a second switch leg for independent wall control, or install a fan with a remote or wall control that handles both from a single switch location.
Yes. We install customer-supplied fans and will tell you up front if a fan is not suited to the location — for example, a damp-rated fan is required for a covered patio.
