Do I Need an Electrician to Install a Ceiling Fan in Melbourne?

Ceiling fans are a great way to keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient — especially in Melbourne’s unpredictable climate. But can you install one yourself? Or do you legally need an electrician?

⚠️ It’s Illegal to DIY in Most Cases

In Victoria, any electrical work — including ceiling fan installation — must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Even if you’re replacing an existing fan, touching electrical wiring without a licence is not only dangerous, but also illegal.

🔧 Why Use a Licensed Electrician?

  • Safety: Fans involve heavy moving parts and high-voltage wiring.

  • Compliance: We ensure installations meet Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000).

  • Insurance & warranty: DIY work can void your insurance and fan warranty.

  • Peace of mind: You get a certified Certificate of Electrical Safety.

🛠️ What We Can Help With

At Blunt’s Electrical, we:

  • Remove old fans and safely disconnect wiring

  • Install new ceiling fans (with or without lights)

  • Upgrade wall switches or add remote-control functionality

We service homes across Richmond, Burnley, and surrounding Melbourne suburbs.
