What is the "normal" cost for having a ceiling fan put in where there is an existing one now?

    I'm always nervous about offering estimates for very different markets, but it seems to me that this should just be a one-hour service call, so it should be under $100. Of course, this assumes that all the wiring is in place and in good shape.

    That also doesn't include the cost of the fan and parts, etc.

    A ceiling fan requires a "ceiling fan" rated electrical box...if using the basic octagonal type, this may or may not be already installed. I have installed some ceiling fans where complex cross blocking and heavy duty mounts are employed...it kind of depends on what was really there and what is being installed.

    I have done some in less than 30 min...others upwards of 2 hours. An 8 foot ceiling or 20 ...»

    foot high over stairs....

    given rates of "handyman" to full blown Electricians...you can also have a Hourly rate that can vary by a factor of three to four.

    Sorry I can't be more precise because these variables are unknown.

    The cost really depends on the fan who made it and how difficult it is to assemble. HandyANDY typically charges $75 to 90...the electrical companies that advertise on tv will run from $150 to $300 for the same thing in our market
