In short

Ambient Electrical does ceiling fan installation in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, supplying and fitting fans on new points or in place of an existing ceiling light. Swapping a central light for a fan with a light is usually the simplest job, because the existing wiring can be used and a remote can run both. Fans that stop, hum or run slowly are traced and repaired too.

Ceiling fans: common questions

Why has my ceiling fan stopped working?

Common causes of a ceiling fan stopping are a failing motor, a blown fuse or tripped breaker on the circuit, a loose wiring connection, or a faulty switch. An electrician can trace which it is and fix it permanently.

Can a ceiling fan be repaired?

Many ceiling fan faults can be repaired, such as a failed switch or controller, a loose connection or a tripped circuit. A failing motor may mean replacing the fan, which is often better value on an older model.

Can a ceiling fan get its own wall control?

A ceiling fan can be run from a wall-mounted fan controller instead of, or as well as, a remote. Where a fan replaces a light, the existing light switch can often be swapped for a fan controller; separate switching for the fan and its light may need extra cabling.

Can a light fitting be replaced with a ceiling fan?

A ceiling light can often be replaced with a ceiling fan on the same point. Ambient installs new ceiling fans on existing light points as well as supplying and installing fans on new points.
