Light Fixtures & Ceiling Fans in Miami
Swapping a builder-grade fixture for something you actually like, or replacing a fan that's started to wobble — wired in and balanced right.
How this works
This covers swap-in-place installs: replacing an existing light fixture or ceiling fan with a new one on the same electrical box, same switch. If a fixture is going somewhere new — a spot with no existing wiring, or a fan replacing what used to be just a light with no fan-rated box — that's new electrical work, and we'll tell you upfront if it needs a licensed electrician instead of quoting it as a straightforward swap.
Ceiling fans get balanced, not just bolted on — an unbalanced fan wobbles, hums, and works the mounting bracket loose over time. We check that the box itself is fan-rated (a light-only box isn't built for the weight and torque of a running fan) before installing anything heavier than the box was designed for.
Miami's ceiling fans do more work than in most markets — they're running most of the year, not just a few months — so a fixture that's balanced and properly seated on day one matters more here than somewhere fans get occasional use.

Why hire a pro for this
A ceiling fan on a box that isn't fan-rated, or one that's not balanced, will work itself loose over months of running — and a fan coming loose from the ceiling isn't a minor repair, it's a real hazard. Checking the box rating and balancing the fan properly are the two steps that get skipped most often in a DIY install.
Frequently asked questions
Can you install a ceiling fan where there's currently just a light?
If the electrical box is fan-rated, yes. If it's a standard light-only box, that box needs to be swapped for a fan-rated one first — which is electrical work we'll refer out, since it typically means accessing the box from the attic or ceiling cavity.
Why does my new ceiling fan wobble?
Usually an unbalanced blade set or a bracket that isn't fully torqued down — both are fixable without replacing the fan. If you're getting a new fan installed, balancing is part of the install, not an extra step.
Do you install smart light switches or dimmers?
Yes, standard dimmer and fan-speed switches on existing wiring. Smart switches that need a neutral wire and app pairing fall under our smart home service — let us know which you're after and we'll quote it right.
How long does a ceiling fan swap take?
Usually 45–75 minutes for a straightforward swap on an existing fan-rated box, longer if the fan is larger or higher up (vaulted ceilings, tall stairwells).
