Ceiling Fan Installation for New Orleans & Metairie Homes
Stay Comfortable Year-Round with Expert Ceiling Fan Installation
Ceiling fans are one of the simplest ways to improve airflow and comfort in your home—but only if they’re installed right. Whether you’re upgrading a dated fixture in your Uptown shotgun or adding new fans to a Metairie ranch, a proper installation is key to safety, performance, and peace of mind.
We’ve installed thousands of ceiling fans across New Orleans and Metairie, and no two jobs are ever quite the same. From high ceilings in Lake Vista to tight crawl spaces in Old Metairie, we bring the tools, experience, and know-how to get it done cleanly and correctly—no shortcuts, no wobbling, and no wire splicing guesswork.
Why Homeowners Choose Ceiling Fans
In Southeast Louisiana homes, ceiling fans do more than move air—they help manage comfort year-round. In the warmer months, a good ceiling fan helps circulate cool air and ease the load on your A/C. In cooler weather, reversing the fan blades can push warm air down from the ceiling, making rooms feel more even and efficient.
We see fans in just about every room these days—from bedrooms in Mid-City to outdoor patios in Bucktown. It’s a smart, energy-conscious upgrade that also adds style, especially with the new modern fan designs available now.
But here’s the thing: if the fan’s installed on a shaky box, wired to the wrong circuit, or hung at the wrong height, it’s not just inefficient—it can be dangerous. That’s where a licensed electrician makes all the difference.
What to Expect from a Professional Installation
When we handle your ceiling fan install, it’s not just about connecting wires. We make sure everything—from the electrical box to the wall switch—is up to code, secure, and designed for long-term performance.
In older homes near Carrollton or the French Quarter, we often run into outdated wiring, mismatched boxes, or odd ceiling structures that aren’t designed for today’s heavier fans. We know how to navigate those quirks without tearing up your walls or leaving things half-done.
In newer builds out in Harahan or along Veterans Boulevard, we check for fan-rated boxes and proper mounting support. Every house gets a tailored approach, based on what we find behind the drywall—not just what’s on the work order.
Upgrading Existing Fixtures
Already have a ceiling light and want to swap it out for a fan? That’s one of our most common requests in places like Lakeview and Metairie Terrace. It might seem like a simple change, but not all light fixtures are anchored properly to hold a ceiling fan’s weight and vibration.
We inspect the box, check the wiring, and reinforce the ceiling mount if needed—so your new fan stays quiet, secure, and balanced, even at full speed.
We also make sure your switches are set up to control the fan and light separately if that’s what you prefer. Dimmer control, pull-chain override, or wall-mounted remotes—we’ll get it dialed in exactly how you want it.
Ceiling Fan Installs in Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor fans are popular upgrades across porches in Broadmoor and covered patios in Metairie Club Gardens. But not every fan is rated for exterior use, and not every setup is sealed properly for Louisiana’s humidity.
We help you pick the right fan for your environment—one that can stand up to moisture and corrosion—and wire it with GFCI protection so it’s safe, compliant, and built to last.
Why Hire a Licensed Electrician?
There’s no shortage of DIY videos out there, but ceiling fan installation isn’t something you want to wing—especially in older homes where wiring conditions can vary widely. A fan that’s installed improperly can lead to electrical issues, vibration damage, or even ceiling collapse over time.
When you work with a licensed local electrician, you’re getting more than a handyman—you’re getting someone who knows the ins and outs of local codes, structure types, and safety requirements specific to homes in New Orleans and Metairie.
We show up on time, clean up after ourselves, and make sure the job’s done right—not just done fast.
