Fan installation - Toronto and GTA

Fan installation that keeps rooms comfortable and wiring safe

What is happening in your rooms now

When rooms feel hot, stale, or noisy even with a fan running

A fan that is noisy, wobbly, or in the wrong place can be more annoying than helpful. These are the fan issues we are most often asked to fix.

Fans that wobble or rattle

You hear wobbling, ticking, or grinding when the fan is on because it is not mounted or balanced properly.

Rooms that still feel stuffy

The fan is too small, too high, or not positioned correctly, so it moves air poorly or just pushes hot air around.

Noisy or outdated bathroom fans

Old exhaust fans are loud and weak, so moisture lingers and you worry about mold in bathrooms and laundry rooms.

Concerns about wiring and structure

You are not sure if the existing box and wiring can support a new fan or light and do not want to guess.

Our fix: Proper mounting, balanced blades, and correct wiring so fans run quietly, move air properly, and are controlled from switches and remotes that make sense for daily use.

We start with how you use the room, ceiling height, and wiring. Then we size, place, and install fans so they are quiet, effective, and securely mounted.

What to expect

How we install fans so they move air, not your nerves

We treat fan installation as electrical, structural, and comfort work, not just a quick fixture swap.

  1. Step 1
    1

    Walkthrough and assessment

    We look at the room size, ceiling height, existing wiring, and box type, then confirm whether we are replacing or adding a new location.

  2. Step 2

    Sizing and placement

    We help you choose fan size, type, and mounting height that suit the room and ceiling, and we confirm switch and control locations.

  3. Step 3

    Safe mounting and wiring

    We install or upgrade fan rated boxes as needed, mount brackets properly, and complete wiring to code, including any required junction work.

  4. Step 4

    Balance, test, and cleanup

    We balance the fan, test all speeds and lights, walk you through controls, and clean up so the room is ready to use.

Upgrading several rooms at once. We can group installations to keep disruption short and predictable.

Fan and control choices

Fan installation options that change comfort, noise level, and look

We help you choose fans and controls that fit how you live, not just what happens to be on the shelf.

During your consult we look at how you use each room, whether you sleep with a fan on, and how you want to control speeds and lights. Then we narrow down a few smart combinations.

  • Comfort and aesthetics

    Ceiling fan size and style

    When this is best

    Important when you want better airflow and a fan that matches the room.

    Key details

    • Sizing the fan to room dimensions so it moves enough air
    • Choosing styles that match your fixtures and trim
    • Ensuring downrod or flush mount fits ceiling height
  • Ease of use

    Controls and wiring upgrades

    When this is best

    Right if you are tired of pull chains or want wall or remote control.

    Key details

    • Wall controls that manage speed and lights cleanly
    • Remote or smart controls where wiring is limited
    • Upgrades to separate fan and light control when possible
  • Moisture control

    Bathroom and exhaust fans

    When this is best

    Needed when baths, laundry rooms, or kitchens feel humid or stale.

    Key details

    • Quieter, higher performance fans sized to the room
    • Proper venting to the exterior where possible
    • Timer or humidity controls to keep moisture down after use

What fan installation typically costs in Toronto

Fan installation costs depend on whether we are replacing an existing fan or adding a new location, and what wiring changes are needed.

Existing box and wiring

Straight replacement

For replacing an existing fan or light in the same location where wiring and box are already suitable.

$250 - $650 per fan
  • Removal of old fan or light
  • Mounting and wiring of new fan at existing box
  • Basic balancing and function testing
  • Cleanup of packaging and debris

Control upgrades and patching from old hardware are extra.

Most projects

New location or wiring upgrade

For adding a fan where there was only a light, or running new wiring or controls in the same general area.

$650 - $1,500 per fan
  • Assessment and, if needed, upgrade to a fan rated box
  • New or adjusted wiring between fan and switches
  • Mounting, balancing, and testing
  • Minor patching around new boxes where required

Significant drywall, painting, or long wiring runs may add cost.

Bath and multi fan work

Exhaust fan and complex installs

For bathroom or laundry exhaust fans that require venting, or multiple fans that need more planning.

$1,000+ per fan
  • Vent routing planning and, where needed, new duct work
  • Electrical work and safe mounting suited to moisture areas
  • Testing airflow and controls after installation
  • Coordination with other trades where necessary

Exterior vent penetration, complex attic work, or high ceilings are quoted separately.

What every itemized quote includes

  • We confirm pricing after seeing the space and existing wiring so there are fewer surprises on install day.
  • Protection and cleanup are included so rooms are ready to use once the work is done.
  • If we find wiring or box issues, we explain options before making changes.

Quotes are fully itemized with allowances, contingency, and requested add-ons itemized for clarity. No hidden feesever.

What moves pricing

What changes the cost of fan installation

We go through these items during your consult so you understand what is driving the quote and what is optional.

Existing wiring and box type

Fans require fan rated boxes and appropriate wiring. Upgrading these can add time compared to a simple swap.

Access from attic or floor above

Easy access from above makes new wiring and venting simpler than installations in finished, closed in ceilings.

Control preferences

Separate fan and light controls, remotes, or smart controls can require extra wiring or devices.

Ceiling height and location

Very high ceilings or installations over stairs or hard to reach areas need more staging and safety planning.

Number of fans and rooms

Doing several fans in one visit can be efficient, but also affects time on site and overall pricing.

Before we book the work, you will see how these factors apply to your home and can adjust scope to fit your budget and comfort.

Preparation

How to prep for fan installation

Simple steps before we arrive help us work quickly and safely and keep your belongings protected.

  • Move small items and decor away from the area under the fan location.
  • If possible, clear space below and around where the ladder will be set up.
  • Share any information about past electrical work or fan issues in the room.
  • Plan for pets and children to be in other rooms while ladders and tools are in use.
  • Have the new fan and any controls on site, or confirm with us if you prefer help choosing them.

When fan installation should wait

In some cases, it is better to resolve other items before installing or upgrading fans.

Unresolved electrical issues

What usually happens

If your home has known electrical problems, installing new fans without addressing them can be unsafe or cause ongoing issues.
Our fix
We may recommend an electrical assessment or repairs first so your fans are installed on a safe, reliable system.

Active roof or moisture problems

What usually happens

Leaks or moisture issues in ceilings or attics can damage new fans and wiring.
Our fix
We suggest repairing roof or moisture issues before fan installation so your new equipment is not exposed to water.

Major layout changes planned soon

What usually happens

If you plan to move walls, fixtures, or room uses in the near future, installing fans now may not be in the right locations later.
Our fix
We can help you time fan installation to align with upcoming renovation so wiring and locations are planned once.

Fan installation questions we hear most often

Short answers about timing, safety, and choosing the right fan and controls.

1
Can you install fans where there is only a light now
Often yes. We will inspect the wiring and box and let you know if we can upgrade to a fan rated box and add controls in the same visit.
2
How long does a typical fan installation take
Most straightforward replacements take a couple of hours per fan. New locations or exhaust fans with venting can take longer and may be split into more than one visit.
3
Do I need to buy the fan before you come
You can either have a fan ready on site, or we can recommend options once we have seen the room and wiring. We will confirm what is needed at the consult.
4
Can you install smart or remote controlled fans
Yes. We can install fans with integrated remotes or smart controls and show you how to use them.
5
Do you warranty the fans you install
Manufacturers provide their own product warranties. On top of that, we warranty our installation work so you are covered on both sides.

I have used Mike not once but twice. It is not very often that you get commitment, quality, hard work, professionalism, and cost effectiveness in one package. He has done two bathrooms, pantry closet, and backyard shed and his perfection is commendable. He is my go to guy for any kind of work.

He was professional and completed all the jobs to my complete satisfaction.
