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 Ruidoso homes use.

Why Ruidoso properties call a local electrician
In the high country around Ruidoso, electrical systems have to handle freezing winters, summer thunderstorms, and long rural service runs. Thick adobe walls and historic construction make wiring work slower and call for careful planning.
Depending on your address, power in Lincoln County typically comes from PNM or Otero County Electric Cooperative. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
We provide ceiling fan installation throughout Ruidoso, including Midtown, Upper Canyon, Cree Meadows, Alto, and Ruidoso Downs. If you searched for an electrician near Midtown or an electrician in Upper Canyon, we are close by. We also serve nearby Alto, Ruidoso Downs, Glencoe, and Nogal.

Ceiling Fan Installation FAQs for Ruidoso
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.
Do I need a separate switch for the fan and light?
It is optional. We can add a second switch if the wiring allows, or use a remote or smart control.
