02Details
If the ceiling doesn't have a fan-rated fixing point, we install one. A standard light-rated batten holder isn't designed to carry a rotating fan.
Blade span should suit the room size. Under-sized fans move too little air; over-sized fans in small rooms feel gusty.
Ceiling fans are installed to the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules on a fan-rated fixing point. A standard light-rated batten holder isn't designed to carry a rotating load, so we install a rated bracket where one isn't already there. Where the job involves new switching, an extra circuit or a control upgrade, prescribed work is certified with an Electrical Safety Certificate on completion under Energy Safe Victoria requirements.

Usually yes. The existing wiring can often be reused, but the mounting point needs to be upgraded to a fan-rated fixing. We check the ceiling structure and install the correct bracket before hanging the fan.
It depends on the fan. Some are fully remote-controlled. Others need a wall control for fan speed and a separate switch for the light. We'll confirm what's needed for the model you choose.
DC fans are generally quieter, more efficient, and offer more speeds with a remote. AC fans are cheaper and simpler. Both are reliable when installed correctly.
Yes, using outdoor-rated fans designed for damp locations. Standard indoor fans aren't suitable for outdoor use.
Rough guide: rooms up to 10 m² suit a 42-inch (1050 mm) fan; 10–20 m² suits 48–52 inch (1200–1320 mm); larger open-plan spaces often need 54–60 inch (1370–1520 mm) or two fans. We confirm on site based on ceiling height and layout.
Most modern fans have a summer/winter direction switch or a reverse function on the remote. Running the fan in reverse at low speed pushes warm air trapped near the ceiling back down, which helps rooms with a split system in heat mode.
