Hi all,

I need to hire an electrician to install 2 ceiling fans in my house.

Master bedroom: There is access in a crawlspace for this room through
the closet access panel
Living room: There is no access here.

Both rooms appear to not have any preexisting hook ups.

Not including the fan how much should this job cost?

For just the master I have been quoted 253 labor only and probbably
much more for the downstairs.

What do you guys think?



I just put one in my house. I've done several before as well. The one
I just did is in an attic with lousy access and blown in insulatrion
to crawl through. It's a mess to do and a killer job if the attic is
hot. I'd do the one in your living room prior to a paint job as it's
hard to cover the holes if the paint is different.
