Ceiling Fan Installation in Salem, NM
A ceiling fan is one of the cheapest ways to stay comfortable through a New Mexico summer. National Electric NM provides ceiling fan installation in Salem, NM, whether you are replacing a light fixture, swapping an old fan, or adding one where there is no wiring.
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 Salem homes use.

Local knowledge for Salem, Dona Ana County
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Salem means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Dona Ana County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Electric service in Dona Ana County is typically provided by El Paso Electric. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

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.

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.
