Licensed ceiling fan installation across Orange County. Any brand, any ceiling type, new wiring if there's no existing box — ASL Electric installs ceiling fans safely, level, and properly braced so they don't wobble or fall.
Ceiling fans seem simple to install until you hit a missing neutral wire, a light-only box that can't support fan weight, or a vaulted ceiling that needs a special mount. ASL Electric handles every ceiling fan scenario in Orange County — proper fan-rated boxes, correct wiring, and fans that run quietly and balanced.
Replace your old ceiling fan with a new one — same location, same wiring. We remove the old fan, install the new one properly, and dispose of the old unit. Most replacements done in under 90 minutes.
Same-DayInstall a ceiling fan where there's currently only a light fixture or no fixture at all. We install a fan-rated brace box to support the fan's weight, run wiring if needed, and add a wall switch or remote.
New LocationCeiling fans with integrated light kits require proper wiring for independent fan and light control. We install dual-switch wiring so you can control fan speed and light separately — not just one or the other.
Dual ControlRemote control ceiling fan installation including receiver wiring inside the fan canopy. Paired and programmed before we leave. Compatible with Hunter, Hampton Bay, Minka Aire, and all major remote fan brands.
Smart ControlVaulted ceilings need angled mounting brackets and downrods sized for the ceiling pitch. We measure the angle, use the right mount, and install the fan level so it runs smoothly without wobble.
Vaulted CeilingCeiling fans for great rooms and two-story spaces need longer downrods — often 24 to 72 inches. We size the downrod correctly for your ceiling height so the fan sits at the ideal 8–9 feet from the floor.
High CeilingsUL-listed damp or wet-rated ceiling fan installation for covered patios, pergolas, and lanais. Proper weatherproof boxes and outdoor-rated hardware for OC's coastal humidity environment.
Outdoor RatedFan wobbling, making noise, or vibrating? We balance blades, tighten all connections, and check the brace box for secure mounting. Most wobbling ceiling fans are fixed in a single service call.
RepairStandard light fixture boxes are not rated to support a ceiling fan's weight and movement. We install UL-listed fan-rated brace boxes — either expandable bar braces through the ceiling hole or new boxes from above in attic-accessible areas.
Safety UpgradeA ceiling fan installed with the wrong box, wrong downrod, or unbalanced blades wobbles, makes noise, and eventually falls. We install ceiling fans the right way — properly braced, balanced, and wired for safe long-term operation.
"The fan I bought had been sitting in a box for a year because I couldn't figure out the vaulted ceiling wiring. ASL had it installed and perfectly balanced in under two hours."
— Tom H., Aliso Viejo
A standard light box will eventually fail under a ceiling fan's weight and vibration — causing the fan to fall. We always install a UL fan-rated box, regardless of what was there before. Non-negotiable on every install.
Fans with light kits need a neutral wire for independent light and fan control. Old switch legs without neutral wires cause problems — we run proper wiring so your fan and light operate independently from day one.
The wrong downrod length makes a fan look wrong and can create unsafe clearance. We measure your ceiling height and room dimensions and size the downrod so the fan hangs at the optimal 8–9 feet from the floor.
Every ceiling fan we install gets balanced before we leave. We use a balancing kit if needed to eliminate wobble — so your fan runs quietly at all speeds without shaking your ceiling or annoying you at night.
Bring us the fan you already bought — we'll install it. Or tell us your requirements and we'll recommend the right fan for your ceiling height, room size, and budget. Either way works for us.

Real questions OC homeowners ask about ceiling fan installation and replacement.
Yes — but the existing light fixture box is almost certainly not rated to support a fan. Light boxes are designed for static weight only. Ceiling fans create dynamic forces as they spin. We install a fan-rated brace box through the existing ceiling hole without opening the ceiling, then hang your new fan safely.
Wobbling is caused by unbalanced blades, loose blade brackets, a loose brace box, or an incorrectly sized downrod. We diagnose which issue is causing the wobble and fix it — usually in a single service call. Blade balancing kits handle most wobble issues once all mechanical connections are verified tight.
A simple replacement (fan for fan, same location) takes 60–90 minutes. A new installation where there was only a light fixture takes 1.5–2 hours. New wiring from scratch (no existing fixture) takes 2–3 hours depending on ceiling access. Most jobs are done same-day.
For 8-foot ceilings, a standard 3–5 inch downrod is fine. For 9-foot ceilings, use a 6-inch downrod. 10-foot ceilings need a 12-inch downrod. For vaulted ceilings, it depends on the pitch and room size. The goal is 8–9 feet from floor to fan blades. We size it correctly during the estimate.
Yes — but it requires a neutral wire in the switch box, which older homes often lack. We run the necessary wiring for dual-switch control (one for fan speed, one for light) as part of the installation. If you'd prefer a single switch with a remote for speed and light control, that works too without new wiring.
Yes. Vaulted ceiling fans use an angled mounting bracket (slope adapter) that mounts to a standard brace box. The fan then hangs level regardless of the ceiling angle. We use the adapter that matches your ceiling's pitch and size the downrod so the fan blades are at a safe height.
Yes. Covered patios need fans rated "damp location" and open-air installations need "wet location" rated fans. We verify the rating matches your patio's exposure level and install with weatherproof hardware. Most major fan brands (Hunter, Hampton Bay, Kichler) have outdoor-rated models we install regularly.
Yes. We run new wiring from an existing circuit in your panel, install a fan-rated brace box, and add a wall switch. This is a full new installation vs. a replacement — takes about 2–3 hours and may require a permit depending on the circuit work involved. We confirm everything upfront.
