Ceiling Fan Installation in Melbourne
Ceiling fans must be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure safe wiring, secure mounting, and reliable operation. Blunt’s Electrical installs ceiling fans across Melbourne for bedrooms, living areas, and outdoor spaces.
Installation cost depends on whether wiring already exists, ceiling access, mounting requirements, and the fan type. If you can provide photos of the ceiling and switch location, we can usually give a clear estimate before booking.
Melbourne and inner suburbs including Richmond, Burnley, Kew, Hawthorn, Abbotsford, South Yarra, Cremorne, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Prahran, Toorak, and nearby suburbs.

The right fan for the room (quick sizing guide)
• Bedrooms (2.7 - 3.3 m rooms): typically 106 - 122 cm
• Living areas (3.5 - 5 m rooms): typically 132 - 142 cm
• Large/open-plan: 152 cm and above, or use two fans
• High or raked ceilings: add a drop rod so the fan sits at the optimal height
• Outdoors/coastal: choose ABS blades and weather-ready finishes Your electrician confirms joist position, mounting method, drop-rod length, and safe clearances.
DC vs AC motors (briefly)
• DC fans: whisper-quiet, very low running costs, more speed steps and “sleep” modes - ideal for bedrooms and energy-savvy homes.
• AC fans: proven, sturdy and budget-friendly with simple controls. We’ll recommend the best fit for your room and controls.

Answering your questions
FAQs
Can you install a fan where there isn’t one now?
Yes. Our electrician can run new wiring and mount the fan safely. If you’d rather avoid extra cabling, choose a remote-controlled fan.
Are ceiling fans energy-efficient?
Very. Fans cost a fraction to run compared with air conditioning, so most clients use fans daily and reserve AC for extreme heat.
Do fans help in winter?
Yes. Reverse mode circulates warm air back down from the ceiling, improving comfort and reducing heater run time.
Remote, wall or smart control-what should I pick?
Remotes avoid extra cabling, wall controllers are simple at the doorway, and smart options add app/voice control and schedules. We can set up whichever you prefer.
Can you supply the fan, or should I buy one?
Either. We’re happy to supply and install, or we can install a fan you provide.
