FAQ
How much does it cost to install a ceiling fan in Spain?
Installing a ceiling fan in Spain has a guide price of 50 to 90 euros in labour when it replaces an existing light. That includes a reinforced fixing, assembly, connection and setting up the remote or speed control. If there is no ceiling light point or you want a separate switch for the fan, the price rises.
Ceiling fan installation cost
What a ceiling fan costs to install depends on whether there is already a light point where it will go. The most common job is replacing an existing light, and in that case the guide price is 50 to 90 euros for installation.
| Job | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Replacing a light with a ceiling fan | 50 to 90 euros |
| New ceiling light point | 30 to 50 euros |
| New line in a chased wall | 80 to 150 euros |
What the installation includes
- Removing the light and checking the box and wiring.
- A reinforced fixing: a fan is heavy and vibrates, and the hook for a light fitting will not do.
- Assembling and balancing the blades so it does not rattle or wobble.
- Connecting the motor and the light, if it has one.
- Remote control, speed controller or switch, depending on the model.
Remote, controller or switch
- Remote control: the most convenient; fan and light are controlled without touching the wall.
- Wall speed controller: lets you choose the speed from a fixed control.
- Two switches: one for the light and one for the fan. Extra cable may be needed from the switch to the ceiling.
Before you buy
- Ceiling height: for low ceilings, choose a flush mounted model.
- The size of the room compared with the blade diameter.
- Plasterboard (drywall) ceilings may need reinforcement to hold the weight.
- A DC motor, quieter and with lower consumption.
Ceiling fan or air conditioning
In a summer in Seville, Spain a fan does not replace air conditioning, but it complements it: it moves the air, makes you feel cooler and uses very little compared with a split unit. In bedrooms and covered terraces it is a very welcome upgrade.
