Ceiling Fan Installation Hervey Bay

Why Ceiling Fans Make Sense in Hervey Bay

With our climate, homes can heat up quickly through the summer months. A well-placed ceiling fan keeps air moving, makes a room feel several degrees cooler and costs very little to run. Paired with air conditioning, fans let you set the thermostat higher and still feel comfortable – a simple way to cut your power bills. Many fans also have a reverse mode to gently circulate warm air in winter.

Ceiling Fans Installed Safely and Securely

A ceiling fan needs to be mounted securely, balanced properly and wired correctly to run quietly and safely for years. Our licensed electricians install ceiling fans in bedrooms, living areas, patios and alfresco spaces across Hervey Bay, Maryborough and the Fraser Coast – from a single bedroom fan to a whole-home fit-out.

Choosing the right fan

Fan size should suit the room. As a general guide, smaller bedrooms suit fans of around 900mm to 1200mm, while larger living rooms and open-plan areas suit 1300mm and above – or two fans for very long spaces. We’ll also consider ceiling height, blade clearance and whether you want an integrated light.

AC or DC motor?

Traditional AC motor fans are reliable and affordable. DC motor fans are quieter, use less power, offer more speed settings and usually come with a remote control. We can install either and help you weigh up the options.

Indoor and outdoor fans

Outdoor and alfresco areas need fans rated for exposure to moisture and coastal air. We’ll recommend suitable models with the right weather rating so your patio fan stands up to Hervey Bay’s humidity and salt air.

Replacing old fans

If your existing fan wobbles, rattles, hums or only works on one speed, it may be time for a replacement. In many cases, we can install a new fan using the existing wiring and mounting point after checking it’s sound and suitable for the new fan’s weight.

Done properly, start to finish

We check the ceiling structure and mount the fan to a secure fixing, wire it to a dedicated or existing circuit as appropriate, fit a wall control or remote, balance the blades and test every speed. We also keep fans the required distance from smoke alarms and leave the area clean.

Pair fans with air conditioning

Fans and air conditioners work well together. Running a fan alongside your air con spreads cool air more evenly, so you can raise the set temperature and reduce running costs.
