Ceiling Fan Installation in Arcata, CA
A ceiling fan cuts cooling costs and makes Arcata summers far more comfortable, but only when it is mounted on a fan-rated box with proper wiring. Unique Electrical Services installs ceiling fans in Arcata, CA in bedrooms, living rooms, patios and vaulted ceilings, including rooms that have never had a fixture.

When a room in your Arcata home has an existing fixture, a fan installation usually takes about an hour. If there is no wiring, we run a new switched circuit from the nearest source and install a braced fan box that can handle the weight and motion. We then assemble, balance and test the fan and set up wall controls or remotes.
Homeowners in Arcata and nearby Mckinleyville, Bayside and Samoa choose us because our flat rates cover the whole job, not just the mounting. Bring your own fan or ask us for a recommendation that fits the room size and ceiling height.
Ceiling fan tips for Arcata homes
- Rooms over 12 feet wide need a 52 inch or larger fan
- Fans must be mounted on a box rated for fans, not lights
- Covered patios need damp-rated fans; open patios need wet-rated
- A wobbling fan usually means a bad box, not a bad fan
- Reversible fans push warm air down in winter
