Frequently Asked Questions
Your Ceiling Fan Installation and Electrical Services Questions, Answered
What types of ceiling fan installations do you handle?
Brand new installations, ceiling fan replacements, and ceiling fans with integrated light fittings are all part of the regular workload. Whether a room is getting its first fan or an older model is being swapped out for something quieter and more efficient, every job is assessed individually, installed to code and confirmed as functioning correctly.
Is a Certificate of Compliance issued after any electrical work is done?
Yes. A Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) is issued for all applicable electrical installations. This is a legal requirement for licensed electrical work in NSW and provides a formal record confirming the job was completed to the required standard by a licensed electrician. It is relevant for insurance purposes, future property sales, and general documentation of what was done and when.
Do you work on new builds, granny flats, and renovations?
Yes we do! New builds, granny flat additions, and residential renovations across the Central Coast are all part of the regular workload. Getting electrical work carried out at the right stage of a project, before walls are closed up and ceilings are finished, produces a cleaner result and avoids expensive rectification later. Getting in touch early in the project to talk through the electrical scope is always worthwhile.
What happens if there is a problem with the fan after it has been installed?
If the fault relates to the fan itself, such as a defective component or manufacturing issue, it would generally fall under the manufacturer’s warranty and should be raised with the retailer or supplier. If the issue relates to the electrical installation, get in touch with us and Scott and Steve will assess the situation and advise on what needs to be done.
How much do electrical services cost?
Pricing varies depending on the job type, the scope of work, the materials involved, and the specifics of the property. Because no two jobs are identical, Scott and Steve provide a free, individually tailored quote for every job rather than publishing fixed prices that may not reflect the actual work required. The quote is clear and complete with no add-ons that appear afterwards.
Can multiple different electrical jobs be handled in the same visit?
Yes, and it is often the most practical approach. Ceiling fan installations can be combined with light fittings, power point installs, smoke alarm checks, data points, and more in a single visit, reducing the number of bookings needed and keeping disruption to a minimum. The full list of jobs should be provided at the quoting stage so everything can be assessed and planned into one efficient visit.
Is it legal to install a ceiling fan myself in NSW?
No. Any work that involves connecting a fitting directly to the home’s wiring must be carried out by a licensed electrician under NSW electrical regulations. A ceiling fan that plugs into a standard power point is a different matter, but a hardwired ceiling fan installation is classified as electrical work. DIY hardwired installation risks personal safety, potential damage to the property, and could affect home insurance cover. A Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work is issued on completion of every applicable installation carried out by Ceiling Fan Installation.
Do you install ceiling fans with integrated light fittings?
Yes, and they are one of the more popular requests. A ceiling fan with an integrated light combines two functions in a single fitting, which suits bedrooms and living areas where separate fittings would crowd the ceiling. The motor and light kit each require correct wiring, and the switching arrangement needs to work the way the homeowner expects. Every one of these installations is set up and tested in full before the job is signed off.
Can an existing ceiling fan be replaced with a new one?
Yes. Ceiling fan replacement comes up regularly, whether a fan has become noisy, is running slowly, has stopped working altogether, or an upgrade is simply overdue. The old unit is removed, the mounting point and wiring are both checked, and the replacement is fitted and tested. If anything is found during the check, the homeowner is informed before any further work proceeds.
How much experience does the team have?
More than 20 years of hands-on electrical experience backs every job carried out on the Central Coast. That kind of experience matters when it comes to unusual installations, awkward ceiling configurations, and older homes where the wiring does not always follow the expected plan. Clients across the Central Coast have access to a level of practical knowledge that only comes from having genuinely encountered most of what a residential property can present.
