How Much Does It Cost to Install a Ceiling Fan in Palm Beach County?

It’s the first thing most people want to know and the last thing a lot of companies will tell you: what’s this going to cost? So here’s a straight answer. In our Palm Beach County service area, ceiling fan installation generally falls into three buckets, depending on how much wiring is involved.

Swapping an existing fan: $125–$150

If there’s already a fan or light fixture in place with a working ceiling box and switch, we’re mostly taking the old one down and putting the new one up. That’s the simplest job and the lowest price — typically $125 to $150 for a standard-height ceiling.

A new install with a short wire run: about $225–$250

If there’s no existing box where you want the fan — say you’re adding one to a bedroom that only had a wall switch and a lamp — we have to run wire and mount a fan-rated box. When that run is short and accessible, it usually adds about $100, putting the job around $225 to $250.

A difficult wire run: up to roughly $350

Some homes make it harder: tall or vaulted ceilings, finished spaces with no attic access above, or long runs through framing. Those add another $75 to $100 on top, so a tougher install can land near $350.

What changes the price

• ✓Whether a fan-rated box and wiring already exist
• ✓Ceiling height (high great-room ceilings take more setup)
• ✓How accessible the space above the ceiling is
• ✓Whether a new switch, dimmer, or remote needs wiring
• ✓The fan itself — you buy it, or we can pick one up
