$134 to $613
Customers typically pay this range, from the sources below, so you can sanity check your total.
Sample prices, not a quote. Customers typically pay $134 to $352 for a ceiling fan install, average $247, and $337 to $613 on another guide, average $475. Those typical bands overlap from $337 to $352. The $345 sample sits in that overlap: a basic fan, a new fan-rated box and brace, and an hour and a half of labor. A vaulted ceiling or a new circuit is the high end of the wider band and is not in these lines.
What the estimate assumes
- The old fixture is a light, and the box is not fan rated.
- The ceiling is a standard flat ceiling, not a vault.
- An existing switch leg is reused. This is not a new circuit.
- The fan in the sample is a basic model with a light kit.
Frequently asked questions.
How do electricians price a ceiling fan install?
Price the fan, a fan-rated box if the old one is a light box, the brace, the switch, and the hours. Published installs run about $134 to $352 and about $337 to $613. This sample is $345, in the overlap.
What should a ceiling fan estimate include?
Whether the box is fan rated, the ceiling height, who supplies the fan, and whether a new switch leg is required. This sample supplies a basic fan and adds a brace.
How long does a ceiling fan take?
The sample uses an hour and a half when the ceiling is flat and the wire is already there. A two-story foyer or a fan on a new circuit takes longer.
Should the fan be on the estimate?
Put it on its own line even when the customer buys it, and zero that line if they already have one. This sample includes a basic fan at $89 so the total is a complete job.
Are these prices a real quote?
No. The lines are sample prices so you can see the shape of the estimate. In the app, the estimate follows the job you describe, your answer, and your prices.
