CEILING FANS

Toowoomba homes commonly feature ceiling fans in living areas and bedrooms. For people looking to save on their energy bills while still staying cool during the summer, a fan is a great way to lower the temperature without using too much electricity. 

With the Darling Downs hosting many old Queenslander style homes with high ceilings, large spaces, and big windows, ceiling fans are the perfect addition to match the classic style and still maintain cooler temperatures throughout Australia’s hotter months. 

Our qualified electricians can install a fan to meet your needs, whether you’re looking to cool a single room or an entire house. 

 

Five Common Types of Ceiling Fans

There is a range of different types of ceiling fans, depending on the type of room and your airflow needs. Some of these types include:

  • Standard fans – the most common home fan, designed to keep your room cool; a standard design usually includes three or four blades and may also contain a central light. They also typically include a downrod, allowing them to be mounted on flat or sloped ceilings. 
  • Low profile fans – perfect for lower ceilings, these types of fans produce the same amount of cooling but in a smaller space. 
  • Smart fans – if you’ve connected other appliances in your house to Google Home, you can also connect your ceiling fan. You can control these ceiling fans from your phone or tablet. 
  • Outdoor fans – these fans are designed for outdoor conditions, including dryness, dampness or rain. Although they shouldn’t be placed directly in the path of severe weather, they can safely resist weather conditions on porches and patios. 
  • Commercial fans – designed to meet airflow requirements for larger or industrial spaces, these fans provide high air delivery in spaces such as gyms, warehouses, and sheds. 

 

Do you need an electrician to install a ceiling fan?

Under Australian legislation, ceiling fans must be installed by an electrician. Ceiling fans are a part of your home electrical system and need to be installed by a qualified professional. Incorrect installation can also cause extra stress in the ceiling, leading to extra noise or even roof damage. Depending on the height of the ceiling, ladders or scaffolding may also be required. 

 

How much does it cost to install a ceiling fan? 

The average installation cost for a home ceiling fan is around $250 (not including the cost of the fan). This price can vary based on a range of factors, including if it’s a new or replacement fan, if new electrical cable needs to be installed, or if there are multiple fans to be installed on the premises. 

 

Should you purchase your own fan?

If you’ve already chosen and purchased your ideal ceiling fan, our electricians can visit your home or business to complete the installation. If you simply want a fully installed standard fan in your home, we can also offer this, from a standard range of fans we supply and install.
