Ceiling Fan Installation in Alexandria, TN
A ceiling fan that wobbles, hums, or feels loose isn't a design flaw — it's almost always a light-duty electrical box trying to hold a fan it was never rated for. Center Hill Electric Co. installs ceiling fans throughout Alexandria, TN with properly rated boxes and support braces.
Whether you're replacing a plain light fixture with a fan, adding a fan to a room that's never had one, or fixing a wobbly existing fan, we make sure the box, wiring, and switch are all sized correctly for the job.
Ceiling Fan Installation You Can Rely On in Alexandria, TN
Standard light fixture boxes are rated to hold a few pounds — nowhere near what's needed to safely support a spinning ceiling fan. We install fan-rated electrical boxes anchored directly to a joist or supported with a brace bar, eliminating the wobble and eventual box failure common with fans installed by well-meaning DIYers.
We also wire fan/light combination switches or install remote and smart fan controls, so you get separate control over the fan speed and the light without a mess of pull chains.
For rooms without any existing ceiling electrical box, we run new wiring from the nearest switch or junction point, cutting the fewest possible openings in your ceiling and patching them cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my ceiling fan wobble even though it's balanced?
In most cases the box behind the fan isn't rated to support it. We replace it with a fan-rated box anchored to a joist, which resolves wobble that balancing alone can't fix.
Can any light fixture box be swapped for a ceiling fan?
Not safely — most light fixture boxes aren't rated for the weight and torque of a spinning fan. We always verify and upgrade the box during installation.
Do you install fans in rooms with no existing wiring?
Yes, we run new circuits or extend existing wiring to add a ceiling fan to any room, including additions and outdoor covered porches.
Can you install a fan with separate remote control for speed and light?
Yes, we wire fan/light combination controls and remote or smart fan controllers for independent operation.
How long does a typical ceiling fan installation take?
Most installations with existing wiring take one to two hours; new wiring runs may take longer depending on ceiling access.
