Ceiling Fan Installation in Ranchos de Taos, NM
A ceiling fan makes a room feel several degrees cooler and helps a swamp cooler or air conditioner do less work. Our ceiling fan installation in Ranchos de Taos covers everything: a fan-rated box that can carry the weight, wiring for separate fan and light control, assembly, balancing and the wall control. We install fans across Taos County.
Ceiling Fan Installation in Ranchos de Taos: what's included
- Fan-rated ceiling box and brace installation
- Fan assembly, hanging and balancing
- New wiring and wall switches

- Outdoor-rated fans for patios and portals

Ceiling fan installation where a light already exists
Replacing a light with a fan isn't a straight swap. A standard light box isn't built to hold a moving fan. We fit a fan-rated box or brace, check the wiring and hang the fan so it stays put for years.
New ceiling fan wiring in Ranchos de Taos
No fixture there yet? We run new cable to the ceiling, add a wall switch or a fan and light control and install the fan. This also works in rooms with viga and latilla ceilings, on covered patios and on portals, using outdoor-rated fans.
Fan controls, remotes and repairs
We install wall speed controls, remotes and smart fan switches, and we fix fans that hum, wobble or have stopped responding.

Ceiling Fan Installation FAQ for Ranchos de Taos
How much does ceiling fan installation cost in Ranchos de Taos?
Replacing an existing fan costs the least. A new location with new wiring and a switch costs more. Ceiling height and access affect the price too.
Can a ceiling fan go where there's no attic access?
Yes. We use retrofit fan braces that install through the fixture opening and fish the cable to a switch.
Do ceiling fans help with a swamp cooler?
Yes. Moving air improves evaporative cooling and lets you run the cooler on low.
What size fan do I need?
Roughly 42 to 44 inches for small bedrooms, 52 inches for most living rooms and 60 inches or more for great rooms.
What customers say
Had three ceiling fans installed where there were only lights before. No wobble, quiet and they hauled away all the boxes.
They checked the panel first, explained the options and installed our Level 2 charger in the garage in an afternoon. Price was exactly what they quoted.
They put recessed lights in our living room even though there is no attic above it. Clean holes, no mess and the dimmer works perfectly.
