Ceiling Fans — The Smart Cooling Solution
A ceiling fan costs about 2 cents per hour to run compared to 50+ cents for air conditioning. In Sydney's mild climate, a quality ceiling fan handles comfortable cooling for 8-9 months of the year, and in winter, reverse mode pushes warm air down from the ceiling to reduce heating costs.
Randwick Electrical installs ceiling fans across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs — from basic replacements to new installations where no fan previously existed. We handle the structural mounting, electrical connection, and if you're replacing a light fitting with a fan, we'll ensure the junction box can support the weight and vibration.
Our Ceiling Fan Services
- New fan installations — including ceiling reinforcement, junction box upgrades, and wiring for fan + light combos with separate switching
- Fan replacements — removing old fans and installing new ones. We'll check the existing wiring and mounting bracket condition
- Remote control and smart upgrades — adding wireless remote controls or smart home integration (Alexa, Google Home) to existing fans
- Fan + light combinations — wiring for independent fan speed and light control. Wall controllers, pull chains, or remote — your choice
- Commercial fan installation — large commercial and industrial fans for warehouses, restaurants, gyms, and retail spaces
Choosing the Right Fan Size
- Small rooms (up to 10m²): 900–1050mm blade span
- Medium rooms (10–20m²): 1200–1320mm blade span
- Large rooms (20–35m²): 1400–1520mm blade span
- Very large rooms (35m²+): multiple fans or commercial 1800mm+ models
We recommend a minimum 2.4m ceiling clearance for standard fans, or flush-mount/hugger fans for lower ceilings. Fan blades should sit at least 2.1m above the floor.
