Ceiling Fan Upgrades Berwick

Do You Need New Ceiling Fans In Time For Summer?

It might look simple, but installing a new ceiling fan is a lot more complicated than just attaching it to your roof. Your roof structure needs to be able to support the fan securely and safely.

At this home in Berwick, our electricians discovered that this ceiling wasn't strong enough to fully support the new remote-controlled ceiling fans that the homeowner wanted. Working with the homeowner, our team were able to add extra timber support to the ceiling and successfully install the ceiling fans using the existing wiring.

How Do We Install Ceiling Fans When Extra Roof Support Is Needed?

For this particular job in Berwick, the homeowner's roof wasn't stable enough to support the new ceiling fans. The homeowner supplied us with the remote-controlled ceiling fans they wanted, and we supplied a range of timber to help reinforce the roof to make it strong and stable.

The work included:

• Supplying and installing the timber ceiling support inside the roof
• Installing the remote-controlled ceiling fans (customer-supplied)
• Connecting the fans to the home's existing wiring
• Testing and commissioning
• Providing a Certificate of Electrical Safety (COES) and lodging the job with Energy Safe Victoria

Ceiling Fan Installation Using The Existing Wiring

The fans were supplied by the homeowner and were operated by remote controls, letting them turn them on and off without relying on a traditional wall-mounted fan speed dial. Our electricians worked with the existing wiring as much as possible and installed 1 x 2-gang switch and 1 x 4-gang switch. After installing the switches, they tested them to make sure they were working properly.
