Ceiling fan services
A fan must hang from a box rated to support it. An ordinary light fixture box is not. We install fan-rated boxes and bracing, use downrods sized for the ceiling height, and balance the fan before we leave. Ceiling fans also work well alongside the evaporative coolers many Costilla homes use.

Why Costilla properties call a local electrician
At elevation, Costilla sees cold winters, heavy snow on service lines, and lightning in the summer. Space heaters, heat tape, and well pumps work hard here, and many older homes were wired long before those loads existed.
Electric service in Taos County is typically provided by Kit Carson Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.
We provide ceiling fan installation throughout Costilla and in nearby Amalia, Cerro, Questa, and Red River.

Can a ceiling fan go where a light is now?
Yes, once the box is replaced with one rated for fan support. We do that as part of the installation.
How long does ceiling fan installation take?
About one to two hours for a standard replacement. New wiring or very high ceilings take longer.

It is optional. We can add a second switch if the wiring allows, or use a remote or smart control.
