Ceiling fan repair, replacement, or a new box
The fan wobbles after you tighten the blades
Bent blades and missing blade weights are the cheap fix. A pancake light box flexing under the motor is the dangerous one. If the canopy shakes, the box is not fan-rated and needs replacement, not another balance kit.
There is only a light there now
That is a new install: fan-rated box, bracing through the joists, and usually a switch or remote. A light-fixture box is not legal for a fan. The electrician confirms attic access before quoting.
The fan runs but the light is dead, or it hums and crawls
Often a failed capacitor or a worn motor, which means replace the fan on the existing fan-rated box. If the box itself is cracked or pulling from the joist, replace the box first.
It is a patio or damp porch
Indoor fans fail outdoors. The listing has to be damp-rated or wet-rated for the location. A bedroom fan on a patio is a repair waiting to happen, and a shock risk in coastal air.

How does Palomar Mountain's climate affect this service?
Palomar Mountain is high-elevation forest community at 5,500 ft with frequent winter snow, extreme freeze conditions, and Palomar Observatory presence. Cabin electrical, freeze-protection circuits, standby generator install with battery backup, and wood-stove blower work drive limited working volume. Backcountry fan installs often include high-ceiling and vaulted-ceiling work in cabin and custom-home settings in Julian, Ramona, and Alpine.
How much does ceiling fan installation cost in San Diego?
Replacing a fan or light fixture with a fan when there's already a fan-rated box in place runs $185 to $295. New installs that need a fan-rated box added or a switch run cost $325 to $625 depending on attic access. The electrician brings the box, hardware, and bits. You provide the fan.
Why does my ceiling fan wobble?
Three usual causes: bent blades or unbalanced blade weights, a loose downrod or canopy connection, or a non-fan-rated box that flexes under fan vibration. The pros we send diagnose and fix all three. A balanced fan should be silent and motionless from below.
