A ceiling fan installation isn’t a very complex task, but still, you should always consider hiring a professional to install it rather than doing it by yourself. In India, usually, the house wiring contractors fit all switches, do the lighting work, and install fans in a house after the construction is nearly complete. But that can be a little different in every individual’s case since ceiling fans fall under the category of the basic home appliance, thus many house wiring contractors don’t install ceiling fans for their clients.
Therefore you must hire an electrician to install ceiling fans in your place. Let’s talk about how much you should pay for ceiling fan installation in India, and what are scenarios where the installation cost may increase slightly.
When The House Wiring Is Already In Place
If the wiring has already been done by the house wiring contractor, then you’d just need to buy the ceiling fans of your choice and then hire an electrician to install the fans afterwards. When you buy a ceiling fan, it’ll come in a box, and you’d need to assemble it by yourself. But when you hire an electrician for the ceiling fan installation, he will be responsible for assembling the unit, then mounting it in the right place, and connecting it to the main wiring network of the place.
Since here you are just hiring an electrician to assemble and install the fan, that’s why you’d just need to pay for the installation charges. And all across India, electricians usually charge around 150 to 250 rupees for ceiling fan installation. However, if you want multiple fans installed in your place, then you’d have to negotiate with the electrician based on the units that need to be installed.
Installation In A Room Or Place With No Wiring Work
If you want to install the ceiling fan in a room or place where no wiring work has been done then it’ll definitely cost slightly higher than the usual ceiling fan installation. Mainly because the electrician will need to figure out the wiring thing, and then he’d proceed towards the installation. Therefore, you may need to buy some extra wiring, and switches before the installation process.
And because this thing will take a little extra time and effort, that’s why the electrician will charge you a little extra. That’s not it, don’t forget to add the expense of wiring as well as switches that will be required during the ceiling fan installation. So in this scenario, expect the ceiling fan installation to be anywhere around 300 to 400 rupees.
Conclusion
If you buy multiple ceiling fan units from a local business, then they can also offer you free installation. However, for the single ceiling fan unit installation, you’d have to hire an electrician to do the job. Depending upon the wiring and electrical fittings in your place, the ceiling fan installation charges may vary a little. But the overall difference won’t be way too much.
