Fitting fans in local homes
Ceiling height matters. Victorian and Federation terraces often have high ceilings, so we use a longer drop rod to bring the fan down to an effective height. Inter-war and post-war flats tend to have lower ceilings, so we will recommend a low-profile fan that keeps safe clearance.
Every fan is mounted to the ceiling framing or a suitable bracket, never just the plasterboard. In apartments with concrete ceilings we use a mounting suitable for the slab, and we check with you first whether running a cable is possible.
Outdoor fans near the coast
For covered balconies and alfresco areas near Bondi, Bronte and Coogee, choose a fan rated for outdoor and coastal use. Indoor fans corrode quickly in salt air.
Ceiling Fans FAQs
Can you put a ceiling fan where a light is now?
Usually, yes. We replace the light point with a fan, or a fan with a light, and check that the ceiling framing can take it.
Do I need a separate switch for the fan?
It's recommended. A wall control lets you change the speed and switch the fan and light separately. Remote-control DC fans are another option.
Can a fan be installed in an apartment with a concrete ceiling?
Often it can, using a mounting rated for concrete. The main challenge is getting power to the spot, and we check that before quoting.
