Structural Safety First
A plastic light box is never rated for a ceiling fan or heavy chandelier.
Standard plastic ceiling boxes are only rated for static 50-pound light fixtures. Bolting a spinning ceiling fan or a multi-tier dining chandelier onto a non-rated box — or drywall toggles — leads to wobble, hum, loosened machine screws, and dangerous ceiling failures over time.
Every fan and heavy chandelier installation starts with inspecting the junction box and framing above. Where needed, we upgrade to a heavy-duty steel saddle box or expandable joist-spanning fan brace (or blocking tied directly into ceiling trusses for 100+ lb statement chandeliers) per NEC 314.27.

Common Questions
Answers about chandeliers & ceiling fans in Austin
Can you hang a chandelier or ceiling fan on an 18-to-22-foot two-story ceiling?
Yes. High two-story foyers, open stairwells, and vaulted great rooms in Westlake, Lakeway, Steiner Ranch, Circle C, Georgetown, and Leander are routine for our crew. Let us know your approximate ceiling height when booking so we dispatch the right high-reach ladder or interior scaffolding and a two-person team.
Do I supply the chandelier or ceiling fan, and can you tell me if the downrod fits?
Most homeowners select and supply their own decorative chandelier, pendants, or ceiling fan so the style matches their home, and we supply all structural fan-rated junction boxes, wiring, connectors, and Lutron wall controls. If your ceiling is vaulted or over 10 feet tall, send us a quick photo and ceiling height ahead of time so we can confirm whether you need an extended downrod or sloped-ceiling kit.
Can you replace a regular bedroom ceiling light with a ceiling fan?
Yes. We remove the existing light-only junction box, install a UL-listed steel fan brace anchored securely between the ceiling joists, mount and balance the new ceiling fan, and configure either a wall fan/light controller or handheld/wall-docked remote.
Can you add an outdoor ceiling fan to a covered back patio that has no wiring?
Absolutely. We wire covered back porches and pergolas across Greater Austin every week — fishing concealed cable through the porch soffit/attic wherever accessible (or running clean painted architectural conduit on exposed cedar beams) to a damp/wet-rated fan brace and convenient indoor or weatherproof patio switch.

“Nick came out for the quote — kind and thorough, and helped me think through all the work. Install day was flawless: the crew put in a car charger, 16 can lights, and two new circuits, and insisted on making it perfect. They are not the cheapest electricians in town, but you absolutely get what you pay for.”

“I purchased a 1951 home with multiple electrical issues on the inspection. Every deficiency was addressed — and they told me which components did not need updating. A storm rolled in while I was away and the techs closed all my windows. I came home to a dry house.”
