THE MATH
Ceiling fan formula
Total cost = count × (fan price + installation)Ceiling fan cost has two parts: the unit (priced by size, motor and features) and installation: wiring, mounting and balancing. Replacing an existing fan is cheaper than a new install.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
One 52-inch fan
1 × ($100 fan + $150 installation) = $250.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What size do I need?
52-inch fans suit 12x12 to 15x15 ft rooms; 44-inch for smaller rooms. Low ceilings need a flush-mount kit.
Do I need an electrician?
Yes for new wiring — most codes require a licensed electrician. Replacing an existing fan with an existing bracket is DIY-able.
What maintenance?
Clean the blades and check mounting twice a year. Modern motors are maintenance-free.
