Having an electrician install a ceiling fan typically costs $200 to $500 — depending on whether wiring already exists at the ceiling location, the size and weight of the fan, and any switch upgrades needed (single switch, three-way, smart switch). Installs that require running new wiring from a switch typically run $350 to $650.

Pricing factors

  • Existing wiring at ceiling — $200–$350
  • New wiring needed — $350–$650
  • Fan/fixture-rated box upgrade — adds ~$75
  • Smart switch or remote receiver — adds ~$50–$100
  • Heavy fan (over 50 lbs) — adds bracing time
