In my kitchen I have 5 recessed can lights mounted in an approximately 6'
circular pattern over the island. There is no attic access. I would like
to have a ceiling fan junction box added in the center of the circle of
downlights, wired to the same circuit as the lights. I won't require a
separate switch for the fan, as I will use the pull chain switch to
control
it. There is no concern about wattage, as I am using CFLs in the
downlights that total only ~120 watts. The fan wattage will not exceed
100
watts.

In addition to what the other person said, costs this time will be very
related to your area. I found out it's a whole grunch cheaper here than
most places. Lowes here, will do it for 98$ but may leave you cosmetic
things with drywall to fix up?

One other person in a different thread layed out a cost of 289$ starter
figure for a fan with attic access. I'd come back with 50$ each in my case
but forgot to mention it was a package deal with other work. Mine would
have been about 75$ each if that was the only work done but they were
replacements of existing units (wires in place etc).
