WHAT WE DO
New ceiling fan going up? Replacing an old one? We handle everything - bracing, wiring, wall controllers and remotes - and leave it running silently the first time.
CEILING FANS · SYDNEY
A properly installed ceiling fan makes a Sydney summer bearable without cranking the air-con. We install every major brand — Hunter Pacific, Beacon, Fanco, Big Ass Fans, Martec — with the correct bracing between the joists so there's no wobble, no droop and no dust cascade twelve months later. If you're replacing a noisy, dying fan we take the old one and its remote away and leave the new one balanced and silent from day one.
Adding a fan where there's currently only a light? That's a bracing and wiring job, not just a swap. We install a proper fan-rated bracket rated for the extra weight and torque, run a switch drop if you want a wall controller instead of a remote, and reconfigure the ceiling rose to carry both the fan and the light on separate switches.
Bathroom exhaust fans get the same care — we duct them properly to the eaves rather than blowing damp air into the roof cavity (a huge cause of mould in Sydney terraces). Combined fan/light/heat units are a specialty; we install the switching, isolate the heat lamps to their own RCBO, and vent the moisture where it belongs.
HOW THE JOB RUNS
We inspect the ceiling access, mounting point, existing wiring and switching. Confirm fan spec, quote a fixed price.
Where we're adding a fan to a light point, a fan-rated bracket goes in between the joists — no reliance on the plaster.
New fan mounted, wired to switch and remote or wall controller, blades balanced so it runs silent on every speed.
Test every speed, direction reverse for summer/winter, and we take the old fan and packaging with us.
Signs you need ceiling fans
SYMPTOMS & CAUSES
OUR PROCESS
Same repeatable sequence on every job — no shortcuts, no surprises, no invoices you didn't agree to.
We check the ceiling above the fan for a proper joist mount or a rated fan bracket.
Circuit off at the board, fan removed, ceiling penetration checked and reinforced.
We fit a fan-rated bracket direct to structure — never rely on plaster.
Terminated to the fan loop, controller matched to the motor type (DC needs a DC controller).
Fan balanced with the blade weights, controller paired, and every speed tested for hum and wobble.
Typical on-site duration: about 1.5 hours, depending on access and switchboard condition.
FIXED PRICING
Every job is fixed-priced on site before we touch anything. No hourly meter, no call-out surprise.
COMPLIANCE
Every job includes a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) so your installation is on record with Fair Trading NSW.
RECENT JOBS
Family in Sydney needed a quiet fan in the main bedroom. We removed the existing rose, installed a DC fan on a rated bracket and wired a dedicated wall controller — no pull-cord dangling.
Alfresco area in Sydney needed an outdoor-rated fan over the dining table. We ran a new outlet from a nearby circuit, sealed the ceiling penetration and installed an IP-rated fan with remote.
Names and identifying details omitted. Every job includes an electrical Certificate of Compliance issued to the property owner.

VERY HIGHLY recommend! We had an issue with power at home and needed someone urgently to restore the electricity service. They responded quickly, showed up on time, and got everything back up and running without any hassle.

I highly recommend Joe, he's very skilled, kind and does honest work. He did a massive last minute job for us, installing an entire 17.4kw ducted aircon system after our old unit broke.

It was an extremely exceptional service from Joe! He came to replace my cooktop on my rented unit then went above and beyond liaising and explaining with my property manager.

I recently had Joe fix two exhaust fans at my place, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Joe showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and fixed the issues quickly.
