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 Thoreau homes use.

Why Thoreau properties call a local electrician
Around Thoreau, properties are spread out and electrical systems work hard: wells, heat, shops, and outbuildings a long way from the meter. Cold winters and dry, windy springs take their toll on outdoor wiring and connections.
Most properties in McKinley County get their electricity from the City of Gallup, Continental Divide Electric Cooperative, or the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
We provide ceiling fan installation throughout Thoreau and in nearby Crownpoint, Grants, Smith Lake, and Prewitt.

Ceiling Fan Installation FAQs for Thoreau
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.
