Professional Ceiling Fan Installation in Westchester NY – Expert Electricians Serving With Lower Your Energy

It’s 9 PM on a Tuesday in July. You just checked your Con Ed bill and nearly had a heart attack. $487 for one month. Your house still isn’t comfortable upstairs bedrooms like a sauna, basement freezing, basically air conditioning the attic. Here’s what nobody tells you about Westchester homes: they weren’t built for modern cooling. That gorgeous Scarsdale colonial with high ceilings? Nightmare to cool. The charming Bronxville Tudor with separate rooms? Heat rises, cold air sinks, nothing circulates. Cranking your AC isn’t the answer, it’s expensive, inefficient, and doesn’t work well. Real ceiling fans change everything.

But ceiling fan installation isn’t simple. That box holding your current light? Not rated for a spinning 50-pound fan. Those 12-foot Larchmont ceilings? I need extension rods. Original plaster in your Hastings Victorian? Requires careful work or it’ll crack. Improper balance creates a wobbling disaster that sounds like a helicopter and tears itself out. I’ve fixed enough DIY disasters in Tarrytown, Dobbs Ferry, and Irvington to know what goes wrong. Call us at 646-708-5530. We’ve installed hundreds of ceiling fans across Westchester and actually know what we’re doing.

About Us

Trusted Ceiling Fan Installation in Westchester NY

We’ve been doing electrical work throughout Westchester County for years. Started with service calls in Yonkers and White Plains, then word spread now we’re everywhere. Historic estates in Scarsdale, mid-century ranches in Greenburgh, beautiful old Victorians in Tarrytown, new construction in Harrison. Here’s what we learned: Westchester houses are complicated. Pre-war buildings in Mount Vernon have wiring from the Hoover era. Gorgeous old homes in Bronxville and Larchmont have plaster walls where you can’t just drill anywhere. Newer houses in Bedford and Pound Ridge have smart home systems needing integration. And everyone has AC bills that make them cry.

We’re licensed electricians, not handymen who “also do electrical.” That matters for ceiling fan installation. Proper service means understanding load calculations, mounting requirements, optimal blade pitch for room size, and air circulation patterns. We’ve seen fans mounted on regular electrical boxes that eventually pull out. Fans installed too close to ceilings that barely move air. Fans wobble so badly they shake the whole room. We know Westchester’s hot humid summers and cold winters where heat rises. We know which brands last, which are junk, and which work best for different ceiling heights and room sizes.

Proper Installation Means Lower Energy Bills, Better Comfort, and Fans That Actually Last From Historic Homes to New Construction. We Handle All Types of Properties and Wiring

  • Actually Licensed NYC & NYS Electricians – Real credentials, not someone who watched YouTube videos
  • We Install Structural Support Before the Fan – Fan-rated boxes every single time, zero exceptions
  • High Ceiling Specialists – Half the homes in Westchester have 10+ foot ceilings
  • We Show Up When We Say We Will – Revolutionary, I know

Ceiling Fan Installation & Repair Services

Lighting Solutions in Westchester NY

Most older Westchester homes have terrible lighting. One ceiling fixture trying to light a whole room. Old fluorescent tubes in kitchens that make everything look like a morgue. No dimming options. Dark hallways where you need a flashlight at night.

The thing is, lighting affects everything how your house feels, how much you pay Con Ed, whether you can actually see what you're doing.

LED Recessed Lighting in Westchester NY

LED recessed lighting is everywhere right now, and for good reason. It's perfect for Westchester homes with lower ceilings in basements, kitchens needing task lighting, or rooms where hanging fixtures don't work. Recessed LED lighting provides clean, modern illumination that makes spaces feel bigger and more open.

We install LED recessed lights throughout Westchester. Sometimes it's straightforward, sometimes we're cutting through old plaster and dealing with wiring from decades ago. The LED recessed light replacement market is massive people are upgrading those old recessed cans that use 100-watt bulbs with new LED units that use 12 watts and put out better light.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Basement apartments with low ceilings – Can't have hanging fixtures, recessed lighting is the answer

Landscape Lighting in Westchester NY

If you've got property and lots of Westchester homes do especially in areas like Bedford, Scarsdale, Rye, and Pound Ridge, landscape lighting makes it usable after dark and shows off what you've invested in. Up-lighting for mature trees, pathway lighting so you can actually see where you're walking, garden spotlights, driveway lighting.

Security Lighting in Westchester NY

Good outdoor security lighting services deter problems before they start and make your property safer. Motion-sensor LED security lights turn on when someone approaches, but don't blind your neighbors or trigger every time a raccoon walks by.

We install hardwired security lighting throughout Westchester not battery-powered junk that dies the first cold night. Proper security lighting installation service means thinking about coverage angles, eliminating blind spots, and making sure everything's wired safely with GFCI protection. We've installed security lighting for homes in Yonkers with narrow side yards, estates in Bedford with acres to cover, and everything in between.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Driveways and parking areas that are pitch black – Can't see who's approaching or where you're walking
  • Side alleys between houses that feel sketchy – Perfect blind spots that make you nervous
  • Back doors and basement entrances with zero lighting – Where problems typically happen
  • Motion lights that false-trigger constantly – Bad sensors or wrong positioning driving you and neighbors crazy
  • Lights that don't actually illuminate problem areas – Random placement that looks like security but isn't

Pool Lighting in Westchester NY

Lots of Westchester properties have pools, especially in areas like Scarsdale, Harrison, Bronxville, and Rye. Pool lighting isn't optional, it's required by code and essential for safety. You can't have people swimming at night in a dark pool. Proper lighting also extends your swimming season into summer evenings and looks great for entertaining.

Pool electrical work has strict requirements: low voltage underwater fixtures, GFCI protection on every circuit, proper bonding to prevent electrocution, permits, and inspections. We install pool lighting throughout Westchester upgrading old halogen fixtures to LED, fixing lights that quit working, and adding deck lighting around pools.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Underwater pool lights that stopped working years ago – Usually the sealed fixture failed, needs complete replacement
  • Old halogen lights that are dim and expensive to run – LED upgrades are brighter and more efficient
  • No lighting around the pool deck area – Safety hazard and limits pool usage at night
  • GFCI protection missing or non-functional – Serious safety code violation, insurance concern
  • Color-changing LED upgrades for entertaining – Everyone wants an Instagram-worthy pool

Call Us 646-708-5530

Ceiling Fan Installation Service in Westchester NY

Proper ceiling fan installation starts with a fan-rated electrical box. Standard light boxes can't handle the weight and vibration, and fans eventually tear out usually at 2 AM. We install proper boxes mounted to ceiling joists, rated for 70+ pounds of dynamic load. Ceiling height matters too. Fans need 10–12 inches clearance from the ceiling for proper air circulation. We size downrods so fans sit 8–9 feet off the floor the sweet spot for air movement and safety. Fan size must match room size: 42-inch fans for small bedrooms, 52–60 inch fans for larger rooms.

Then comes installation. We mount everything securely, balance blades so there's no wobble, wire fan and light correctly, install wall switches if desired, and test everything. Blade pitch matters: steeper pitch moves more air but requires stronger motors. We help you choose what actually works for your space, not just what's cheapest. The whole process takes 2–4 hours per fan depending on ceiling height and whether new wiring or switches are needed. Result: quiet, smooth operation that actually cools your rooms.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Light fixture boxes that aren't fan-rated – About 70% of installations require a box swap first
  • High ceilings (12+ feet) – Custom downrods and careful mounting needed
  • No wall switches – Pull chains work but are inconvenient, especially with high ceilings
  • Old plaster ceilings – Historic homes in Tarrytown, Irvington, Dobbs Ferry require careful handling to avoid cracks
  • Vaulted or sloped ceilings – Special mounting adapters needed for angled installations

Hot Water Heaters in Westchester NY

Nothing is worse than running out of hot water mid-shower. Old water heaters are inefficient, take up tons of space in already-cramped utility rooms, and always die at the worst possible time usually January, when you desperately need hot water.

We handle hot water heater installation throughout Westchester traditional tank heaters or tankless systems depending on your needs, available space, and electrical capacity. Tankless saves space (huge benefit in smaller utility rooms common in older Westchester homes) and gives unlimited hot water, but requires serious electrical work—240V circuits, often panel upgrades. We handle everything: removal of old units, installation, all electrical work, permits, and inspections.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Old water heater dies suddenly and floods your basement – Leaks catastrophically with zero warning
  • Family outgrew the tank size – What worked for two people doesn't cut it for four
  • Running out of hot water constantly – Taking showers in shifts like summer camp
  • Sky-high energy bills from inefficient old heaters – Constantly reheating water nobody is using
  • No space for a traditional tank – Tiny utility closets make tankless the better solution

Call Us 646-708-5530

Tesla Home Chargers in Westchester NY

More Westchester residents are buying electric vehicles every month makes sense with commuting patterns to NYC, rising gas prices, and environmental consciousness. But charging on a regular 120V outlet takes forever like 40+ hours for a full charge. Tesla home charger installation (or any Level 2 EV charger) cuts that to 6-8 hours.

Installing an EV charger requires a dedicated 240V circuit the same power draw as your dryer or electric stove. Often this requires panel upgrades and always requires permits and inspections with local building departments. We install Tesla home chargers throughout Westchester, handling all the electrical work, coordination, and paperwork so you don’t have to.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Electrical panels without capacity for a car charger – Many Westchester homes still have 100-amp service
  • Long distance from panel to garage or driveway – Circuits sometimes need to run 50+ feet
  • Detached garages requiring underground or overhead circuits – More complex installations but completely manageable
  • Permit requirements and building department coordination – We handle all paperwork and inspections
  • Multiple EV chargers for two-car households – Requires load management systems or panel upgrades

Power Outages in Westchester NY

Power outages near me search spikes during storms, and Westchester gets them nor'easters, thunderstorms, winter ice storms, and trees falling on lines during high winds. When your power goes out and won’t come back, you need to figure out if it’s your problem or Con Ed’s problem.

Sometimes it’s your issue tripped main breaker, internal wiring problem, or damaged meter base. Sometimes it’s Con Ed transformer failure, downed lines, or substation issues. We diagnose quickly and fix what’s on your end. For recurring outages or if you work from home and can’t afford downtime, whole-home backup generators might make sense.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Partial power outages where some rooms work and others don’t – Usually circuit breaker problems or lost phase
  • Main breaker that keeps tripping – Could be overloaded panel or main breaker failure
  • Storm surge damage frying equipment – Lightning and power surges damage panels, appliances, and electronics
  • Frequent outages from Con Ed work or aging infrastructure – Some areas get hit constantly
  • Need for backup generator installation – For medical equipment, home offices, or peace of mind

Call Us 646-708-5530

Outlet Repairs in Westchester NY

Dead outlets, loose outlets that pull out of the wall, or outlets that spark when you plug things in are all serious safety hazards. Older Westchester homes often have outdated outlets: ungrounded two-prong designs from the '50s and '60s, outlets with reversed polarity, or just worn-out outlets from decades of use.

We repair and replace outlets throughout Westchester, bringing everything up to current electrical code. This is especially important if you're selling, as home inspectors flag outdated or unsafe outlets constantly.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Outlets that don't work or work intermittently – Could be loose wiring, tripped GFCI upstream, or a failed outlet
  • Two-prong ungrounded outlets – Common in older Westchester homes, unsafe for modern electronics
  • Loose outlets that pull right out of the wall – Broken mounting ears, easy fix but needs doing
  • No GFCI protection in bathrooms and kitchens – Code violation and serious safety hazard
  • Not enough outlets forcing extension cords and power strip chaos – Need additional circuits and outlets

Call Us 646-708-5530

GFCI Outlets in Westchester NY

GFCI outlets (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) prevent electrocution by cutting power in milliseconds when they detect ground faults. They are required by code anywhere water is present bathrooms, kitchens, basements, garages, outdoor spaces, or anywhere moisture is an issue.

Many older Westchester homes lack proper GFCI protection because they were built before modern electrical codes. This is a code violation, a serious safety hazard, and something home inspectors will definitely flag. We install GFCI outlets regularly throughout Westchester County.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • No GFCI protection in bathrooms or kitchens – Basic code requirement that's often missing in older homes
  • GFCI outlets that trip constantly – Either an actual ground fault (bad) or the GFCI itself is failing
  • Outdoor outlets without weather-resistant GFCI covers – Regular covers let water in, causing shorts and danger
  • Basement outlets near laundry, sump pumps, or utility sinks – Anywhere moisture is present requires GFCI protection
  • Old GFCIs that stopped working – They wear out after 10–15 years, test buttons stop functioning

Call Us 646-708-5530

Electrical Troubleshooting in Westchester NY

Electrical problems can be frustrating mysteries. Lights that flicker randomly. Buzzing switches. Outlets that work sometimes but not others. Breakers that trip for no obvious reason. Weird humming noises from the panel. These issues require proper electrical troubleshooting with actual diagnostic tools not just random fixes and hoping for the best.

We use professional equipment voltage testers, circuit analyzers, and thermal imaging cameras to find hot spots you can't see. Often the problem isn't where you think it is. That flickering light on the second floor might be caused by a loose connection in the basement panel. Experience helps us narrow things down fast.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Flickering lights throughout the house – Could be loose neutral connection, utility voltage problem, or failing service
  • Breakers that trip randomly – Could be overload, short circuit, ground fault, or a bad breaker
  • Buzzing or humming sounds from outlets or switches – Usually loose connections heating up, sometimes transformer issues
  • Intermittent electrical problems that come and go – Hardest to diagnose but we eventually find them
  • Tingling sensations from appliances or fixtures – Grounding problem, dangerous, needs immediate attention

Call Us 646-708-5530

Panel Upgrades in Westchester NY

Many Westchester homes, especially in Yonkers, Mount Vernon, and older sections of White Plains still have 60-amp or 100-amp electrical service installed 40-60 years ago. That's not enough anymore. Modern homes need a minimum of 200-amp service for central AC, modern appliances, EV chargers, home offices, and all your electronics.

Panel upgrades require permits, inspections, and sometimes coordination with Con Ed for service upgrades. We handle the complete process. Our electrical panel upgrades include removing old panels (especially dangerous Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, documented fire hazards), installing new 200-amp panels, and ensuring everything passes inspection and approval.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Breakers that trip constantly due to overloaded panels – Not enough capacity for modern electrical demands
  • Old fuse boxes with screw-in fuses – Time to upgrade to modern breaker panels
  • Unable to add circuits for EV chargers or central AC – No available spaces or capacity in the existing panel
  • Insurance companies requiring panel upgrades – Some insurers won't cover homes with certain old panels
  • Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels – Known fire hazards that should be replaced immediately

Call Us 646-708-5530

Circuit Breaker Replacements in Westchester NY

Circuit breakers protect your electrical wiring by shutting off when circuits overload or short. But breakers wear out over time, especially ones that trip frequently. A bad breaker might not trip when it should (fire hazard) or might trip with normal loads (annoying and a sign the breaker is failing).

We replace circuit breakers throughout Westchester matching the correct amperage and type for your specific panel and circuits. Sometimes the breaker itself is fine, but the circuit is overloaded and needs upgrading. We diagnose both scenarios to ensure your home is safe and code-compliant.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Breakers that won't stay on even with nothing plugged in – Breaker has failed and needs replacement
  • Breakers that won't trip when they should – Dangerous fire hazard requiring immediate attention
  • Breakers that are hot to the touch – Sign of serious overload or failing breaker connection
  • AFCI breakers that false trip constantly – Sometimes legitimate arc faults, sometimes interference issues
  • Wrong brand breakers installed by previous DIYers – Only compatible breakers should be used to ensure safety

Call Us 646-708-5530

Aluminum Wiring Replacement in Westchester NY

Westchester homes built in the '60s and '70s, especially in fast-growing areas like Yonkers, Greenburgh, and Mount Vernon, often have aluminum wiring. It was legal and common at the time, but now we know it’s a fire hazard. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper with temperature changes, and connections loosen over time, causing sparking and overheating.

Insurance companies either charge significantly higher premiums for homes with aluminum wiring or flat-out refuse coverage. We handle aluminum wiring replacement throughout Westchester: complete rewiring (expensive but permanent solution) or professional pigtailing using COPALUM connectors at every connection point (less expensive, nearly as effective).

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Insurance companies charging extra or denying coverage – Aluminum wiring is a documented fire hazard insurers care about
  • Flickering lights and outlets that feel warm – Early warning signs of loose aluminum connections
  • Burning smells from outlets or switches – Overheating connections, very dangerous, needs immediate attention
  • Home inspection failures when selling – Buyers walk away or demand large price reductions
  • Unable to safely add new circuits – Aluminum wiring requires special procedures and training

Call Us 646-708-5530

Jacuzzi Spa Circuits in Westchester NY

Installing a hot tub or jacuzzi in your Westchester backyard? These systems draw significant power and require a dedicated 240V circuit, GFCI protection, properly sized wiring based on distance and amperage, and a weatherproof disconnect within sight of the spa. Jacuzzi spa circuits must meet strict National Electrical Code requirements because water plus electricity equals serious danger if not installed correctly.

We install spa circuits throughout Westchester, from simple plug-and-play spas to permanent in-ground installations. Proper wire sizing is critical undersized wire trips breakers or overheats, creating a fire hazard. GFCI protection is mandatory and potentially life-saving.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • No dedicated circuit for the spa – Cannot run on extension cords or existing circuits; requires its own circuit
  • Electrical panel lacks capacity – Spas draw 30–50 amps; many panels need upgrades to handle the load
  • Long distance from panel to spa – Proper wire sizing prevents voltage drop and overheating
  • No weatherproof disconnect near the spa – Code requires an accessible disconnect within sight of the spa
  • Permits and inspections required – Local building departments mandate permits for spa electrical work

Call Us 646-708-5530

TV Wall Mounts in Westchester NY

Mounting TVs is more popular than ever it saves floor space, looks cleaner, and positions your TV at the perfect viewing height. But TV wall mount installation in Westchester homes can be tricky. Older homes often have plaster walls that crack easily, non-standard stud spacing, brick walls, or very high ceilings that require specialized techniques.

We mount TVs throughout Westchester using simple fixed mounts or articulating mounts that tilt and swing. Our service includes professional cable management (running wires inside walls for a clean look) and installing new outlets behind TVs when needed extension cords inside walls are illegal and a fire hazard.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Old plaster walls that crumble when drilling – Requires special anchors and techniques
  • Studs not where you expect them – Older homes often lack standardized 16-inch stud spacing
  • Cable management for multiple devices – TV, soundbar, gaming consoles, streaming devices
  • No power outlet behind the TV – We install new outlets safely and code-compliantly
  • Heavy large-screen TVs – 75–85 inch screens need proper structural support

Call Us 646-708-5530

Low Voltage Lighting in Westchester NY

Low voltage lighting (12V or 24V systems) is ideal for accent lighting, under-cabinet lighting, closet lighting, and landscape lighting. It's safer than line voltage, more energy-efficient, and gives you flexibility in fixture placement because transformers isolate circuits for safety.

We install low voltage lighting throughout Westchester homes LED strips under kitchen cabinets, closet lighting systems, pathway lighting outdoors, and accent lighting for artwork or architectural features. Even though it's "low voltage," proper transformer sizing, correct wire gauge for the run length, and smart design are essential for optimal performance.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Under-cabinet kitchen lighting that flickers or dims – Often due to undersized transformer or incorrect wire gauge
  • Closets with zero lighting – Walk-in closets in particular need adequate illumination
  • Display shelves and bookcases needing accent lighting – Highlight collections, artwork, or architectural details
  • Outdoor pathway lighting requiring burial wire – Regular wire won't survive underground; use proper burial-rated cable
  • Integration with dimmer switches and smart controls – Low voltage systems need compatible equipment for dimming and automation

Call Us 646-708-5530

Comprehensive Electrical Safety Inspections in Westchester NY

When's the last time someone actually inspected your home's electrical system? If you can't remember, or if your Westchester home is 25+ years old, it's time for a professional inspection. Electrical safety inspections identify hazards before they cause fires, injuries, or expensive failures, especially important in Westchester's older housing stock.

We provide thorough electrical safety inspections for homeowners, landlords, property buyers, and sellers throughout Westchester. You receive a detailed written report with photographs and prioritized recommendations, showing what needs immediate attention, what can wait, and what’s recommended for upgrades.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Pre-purchase inspections for home buyers – Know existing electrical problems before closing
  • Pre-sale inspections for sellers – Identify and fix issues before buyer inspections
  • Insurance company required inspections – Some insurers mandate inspections for older homes or homes with known issues
  • Landlord compliance inspections – Ensure rental properties meet current electrical code requirements
  • Post-renovation inspections – Verify contractor work was done correctly and safely

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Our second floor in Scarsdale was unbearable in summer—hit 85+ degrees even with AC running. These guys installed ceiling fans in all three bedrooms and it's like a different house. Rooms actually feel cool now and our electric bill dropped almost $150 a month. They showed up exactly when they said they would, worked clean, and finished in one day. Worth every penny.
Michael R.
We've got 13-foot ceilings in our Bronxville living room and nobody wanted to install a ceiling fan there. Too high, too complicated, ridiculous quotes. Ellis Speed came out, looked at it, said no problem, and did it right. The fan works perfectly, doesn't wobble, moves tons of air. Finally found electricians who actually know what they're doing.
Jennifer L.
Used them for ceiling fans and then called them back for outlet work and some landscape lighting. They're our go-to electricians now. Professional, fair priced, actually answer their phone. That's apparently really hard to find with contractors.

FAQs

Stuff Westchester Homeowners Want to Know About Ceiling Fans

Usually, yeah. Call us by morning at 646-708-5530 and if we have availability, we can often get to you the same day. Most single-fan installations take 2-4 hours depending on ceiling height and whether we need to replace the electrical box or add switches. If you’ve got multiple fans or we need to run new wiring, that takes longer but we can usually start within 24-48 hours.

Depends on what’s involved. Basic installation on a standard ceiling with existing fan-rated box—probably $200-$350. High ceilings needing extension downrods, add another $50-100. Need to replace the electrical box with a fan-rated one, add $75-150. Need new wall switch installation, add $100-200. Complicated installations with vaulted ceilings or complex wiring cost more. We give clear estimates before starting. Call 646-708-5530 and describe your situation, we can usually quote you over the phone or we’ll come look at it.

Absolutely. Not a little bit significantly. Ceiling fans create a wind-chill effect that makes rooms feel 6-8 degrees cooler without changing actual temperature. So you can set your thermostat 5-7 degrees higher while feeling just as comfortable. Since AC costs go up roughly 3-5% per degree, that’s a huge savings.

Most Westchester homeowners tell us their electric bills drop 20-30% after installing ceiling fans in main areas and bedrooms. The ceiling fan service pays for itself in one summer, then saves money every year after.

Yeah, we do it all the time. Lots of Westchester homes have 10-14 foot ceilings, some even higher in entryways and great rooms. We install proper extension downrods to get the fan 8-9 feet off the floor that’s optimal for air circulation and safety.

We’ve got the ladders, the equipment, and the experience. High ceiling installations take a bit longer and cost a bit more, but they’re routine for us. This is part of standard ceiling fan installation services in Westchester where tall ceilings are common.

We do both ceiling fan installation service and ceiling fan repair service. Lots of fan problems are fixable bad capacitors, loose mounting, worn bearings, broken remotes, wiring issues. We’ll honestly tell you whether repair or replacement makes better sense.

Sometimes a $100 repair gets you several more years from a quality fan. Sometimes repair costs almost as much as a new fan installation in that case, replacement makes more sense. We’ll give you both options and let you decide.

Probably, yeah. Wobbling fans are usually caused by loose mounting, unbalanced blades, bent blade irons, or improper installation on non-fan-rated boxes. We diagnose the issue and fix it properly.

If the wobble is from a failed fan-rated box or improper mounting, we reinstall it correctly. If it’s blade balanced, we balance it properly. If the fan’s just cheap and poorly designed, sometimes replacement with a quality fan is the better answer.
