Question: How much would it cost for electrical wiring for a ceiling fan with light package?
This post was awarded #1 Answer at Yahoo! Answers.
If there is already a junction box with wires in the ceiling, a typical installation is around $65 to $85.
Add an additional $35 if the junction box in the ceiling needs to be reinforced with a 2 x 4 or fan brace.
If there is an an attic and you need wires run and a junction box installed, expect to pay about $150-$200 for the wiring alone, plus the cost of installing the fan (depending on the complexity of running the wires).
If there is no attic and no wires (first floor of 2 story home, or vaulted ceiling), expect to pay as much as $250-$350 for the wiring alone, plus the cost of installing the fan (depending on the complexity of running the wires).
If you want the fan wired to a wall switch as well, you can probably add about $75 more for that service, unless the wiring to the ceiling is being pulled from the switch on the wall.
These figures are simply estimates based on what a company I used to work for charged for these services in Southern California. Labor rates vary dramatically around the country, so I cannot say this would be pertinent to your local.
