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 · SURRY HILLS
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.

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.

Called at 11pm with a tripping switchboard. Electrician arrived within the hour, found the fault and had us back on safely. Honest and professional.
Burning smell from a powerpoint - they took it seriously, came straight out, replaced the circuit and explained everything. Fair fixed price, no upsell.
Lost half the house mid-storm. Empire were the only company that actually answered. Quoted upfront, fixed in one visit. Highly recommend.
Safety switch kept tripping for weeks. Other sparkies just reset it. Empire actually found the faulty appliance and the dodgy wiring behind it.
Burst pipe took out our power. Empire arrived super fast, made it safe and stayed until everything was running again. Lifesavers.
Old switchboard was sparking. They replaced it the same day, all licensed and certified. Cleanest install I've seen.
Power out the entire upstairs at 9pm with a newborn at home. Empire answered, dispatched and fixed it within two hours. So grateful.
Got three quotes for a switchboard upgrade. Empire weren't the cheapest but they were the clearest. Best decision - immaculate workmanship.
Storm tripped half the unit block. Empire turned up Sunday morning, no extra weekend gouge. Just sorted it. Strata are using them from now on.
Called five sparkies before Empire actually picked up. They explained the issue in plain English and gave a fixed price before touching anything.
Switchboard faults, urgent callouts, residential and commercial - handled by the same licensed team.
