Ceiling Fan Installation in Delray Beach, FL
Delray Beach homes run their ceiling fans most of the year, and the older the home, the more often the fan needs replacing. We install and replace fans across Delray every week — beachside condos, historic Lake Ida cottages, modern Mizner Country Club homes, and beautiful old Pineapple Grove bungalows.
Trusted ceiling fan installation across Delray Beach
A proper install means: confirming the box is fan-rated, the wiring is right for the switch configuration, the fan is balanced after install, and the remote (if any) is programmed and paired. We do all of this on every visit.
Pricing: $149 for a straight replacement at 8–10' ceiling, $179 for a new fan on existing wiring, $249 for vaulted ceilings (we bring scaffolding), and from $395 to add a new fan location with new wiring through the attic.
Lanai fans need damp- or wet-rated units; we know which models last in Delray's coastal air. Call (561) 299-0890 for same-day scheduling.

What sets our ceiling fan installation apart
Older Delray homes often have un-rated boxes
If your home was built before 1985, there's a real chance the ceiling box in your current fan location was originally rated for a light fixture (5 lbs) — not a 25-lb fan. We check on every install and replace it with a fan-rated box for $45 if needed. This is the difference between a fan that hangs for 20 years and one that falls eventually.
Beachside lanai installs
Delray lanais and pool areas need damp- or wet-rated fans. Indoor fans installed outside fail within a year. We install only properly rated outdoor fans with sealed motors and corrosion-resistant blades.
Vaulted-ceiling installs
Beachside Delray homes (and many west-of-US-1 newer builds) have vaulted great-room ceilings. We bring scaffolding rated for 22 feet and the right downrod lengths so the fan ends up 8–9 feet off the floor for proper airflow.
Smart-home and remote programming
We program every modern fan — Hampton Bay, Hunter, Casablanca, Minka Aire, Big Ass Fans — including remote pairing, wall control programming, and smart hub setup (Lutron, SimpleConnect).
Honest repair-vs-replace advice
Wobble is almost always a $35 balance kit. Clicking is usually a loose blade screw. Won't-turn-on can be a capacitor (often more expensive than replacement). We tell you the honest math and never upsell.

What Delray Beach homeowners say
"Replaced two old fans with new Hunter models in our great room — 18-foot vaulted ceiling. Brought their own scaffolding. Programmed both remotes. Worth every dollar."
"Wobbly fan in the primary bedroom was driving us crazy. They balanced it, tightened the downrod, and it's been silent for six months."
"New fan in a room with no existing wiring. They added a junction box, ran the line through the attic, installed a switch — fully permitted. Clean work."
