Old Engineer provides professional ceiling fan installation throughout the Raleigh-Durham area at a price that makes sense. Whether you’re replacing a dated fan in the bedroom, upgrading to a remote-controlled model in the living room, or swapping a light fixture for a fan where one already exists, we handle the job carefully and correctly.

What’s Included in Our Ceiling Fan Installation

Our ceiling fan replacement service covers everything from start to finish:

ceiling fan installation
  • Removal and haul-away of your old ceiling fan
  • Assembly of your new fan
  • Secure mounting and wiring to the existing fan-rated electrical box

  • Installation and testing of light kits, pull chains, wall controls, or remotes
  • Cleanup when we’re done

We install all major brands including Hunter, Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze, Minka-Aire, and Casablanca. If you haven’t purchased a fan yet, we’re happy to offer suggestions on what works best for your room size and ceiling height.

Honest, Engineer-Level Work at a Fair Price

Old Engineer isn’t a big franchise with big franchise prices. We’re experienced, detail-oriented professionals who believe a ceiling fan swap shouldn’t cost a fortune. You get careful workmanship, straightforward pricing, and someone who shows up when they say they will.

Please note: we replace ceiling fans where a fan or fixture already exists. If your project requires running new wiring or installing a new electrical box, that work needs a licensed electrician, and we’ll tell you upfront rather than get in over our heads.
