Frequently Asked Questions

Do ceiling fans actually save money?

Yes. Running a ceiling fan costs about $0.01/hour vs $0.36/hour for AC. Fans let you raise your thermostat 4°F without reducing comfort, saving 4-8% on cooling bills.

Can I install a ceiling fan where there's no existing fixture?

Yes, but it requires running new wiring from the switch to the ceiling location, installing a fan-rated electrical box, and possibly cutting into drywall. This costs $300-$600 for labor.

Why does ceiling fan installation cost different in Dallas than other cities?

Dallas's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the finance-tech-telecom economy, humid-subtropical climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The competitive labor market also influences competitive pricing.
