Voltus Energy Solutions is a licensed New Jersey electrician specializing in ceiling fan installation – new installs, replacements, and the tricky spots other electricians turn down. Whether you’re swapping a tired old fan, adding one where there’s only a light (or nothing at all), or mounting a fan on a high or sloped ceiling, we do it safely, level, and quiet. Most installs start at $250, and we serve Montclair, Maplewood, South Orange, Bloomfield, Glen Ridge and the surrounding Essex and Union County towns.
What we do
- Replace an old or broken ceiling fan with a new one
- Install a fan where a light fixture already exists
- Run new wiring and add a fan-rated box where there’s no existing fixture
- Add or fix wall switches and remote/smart controls
- Mount on standard, sloped, or high ceilings
Honest, upfront pricing
Ceiling fan installs where the wiring already exists start at $250. If the ceiling box is not rated to hold a fan, a new fan-rated box adds $150. Need a new location wired or a high-ceiling job? We’ll confirm your exact price before any work begins – no surprises. Request your fan install or call (973) 382-9995.

Types of ceiling fan installs we handle
- New installation (no existing fixture): No box or wiring where you want the fan? We’ll run the circuit, install a fan-rated box, and add a switch or wall control – to code and inspected where required.
- Fan replacement / swap: Replacing an old or noisy fan is usually a same-visit job. We haul away the old unit and balance the new one so it doesn’t wobble.
- Remote & smart control: Want to run your fan from a remote, a wall dimmer, or your phone? We install remote kits and smart-switch-compatible fans. Planning bigger upgrades? See our smart home wiring planning service.
- High, vaulted & sloped ceilings: Tall foyers and cathedral ceilings need the right downrod and a safe mount – we bring the equipment to do it right.
- Outdoor & patio fans: Covered porches and patios need damp- or wet-rated fans on proper circuits. We’ll spec and install the right one.

How the install works
- Tell us the room, the ceiling height, and whether a fan or box is already there.
- We give you a flat price up front – no hourly surprises.
- We install, balance, and test the fan, then clean up.
- Where a permit or inspection is needed, we handle it. If a new fan circuit needs panel capacity, we can take care of a panel upgrade at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Can you install a ceiling fan where there is no existing fixture?
Yes. We run the wiring, install a fan-rated support box, and add a switch or remote control.
Do I need a special box for a ceiling fan?
Yes. Ceiling fans require a UL-listed, fan-rated support box. A standard light box is not safe to hold a moving fan.
Can you install a fan with a remote or smart control?
Yes. We install fans with remotes, wall controls, and smart-switch control.
How much does ceiling fan installation cost?
Most standard installs start at $250. New wiring, a wall switch, or a high ceiling can change the price – see our published ceiling fan installation cost page for real numbers.
How long does a ceiling fan installation take?
A straight swap is usually under an hour. A brand-new install with wiring typically takes 2-3 hours.
My fan wobbles – can you fix it?
Yes. Wobble is usually a mounting or balance issue. We can rebalance or remount an existing fan so it runs quiet and steady.
