Ceiling Fan Installation in Winter Park, FL
Hanging a fan in an older Winter Park home usually means working in plaster and around wiring with no ground. Both affect how the box goes in and how long the job takes.
Installation only; you supply the fan. $277 for the first fan on an existing fan-rated box, about $180 for each additional fan on the same visit. A light-only box has to be replaced with a fan-rated one first; remotes and wall controls are extra.
Four things that are only true in Winter Park.
If you could swap the city name out of this page and it would still be accurate, it should not exist. Here is what actually changes here.
Plaster-and-lath ceilings
Plaster cracks if you rush it. When a light-only box has to come out for a fan-rated one, we cut and support it carefully and tell you up front what the ceiling around it will look like.
No ground at the fixture
Many 1920s to 40s homes here have cloth wiring and no grounding conductor at the ceiling. A fan with a metal housing should be grounded, so we check what is actually in the box and tell you your options before we hang it.
Knob-and-tube remnants
Knob-and-tube still turns up in the historic district, sometimes feeding the very ceiling outlet you want a fan on. If we find it at the box, we show you and explain what it changes before going further.
Lake homes and rebuilds
Newer rebuilds along the lakes tend to have tall ceilings, covered porches and higher-end fans. Porch fans need a damp- or wet-rated model, and tall rooms need the right downrod, which we size on site.
Real numbers before you call.
Same ranges we publish everywhere, because the work does not cost more just because of the zip code. You get an exact number at the free estimate.

Mike is in Winter Park most Tuesdays. You will have a name and a text before anyone is at your door.
Real reviews, word for word.
"Grant wired our new kitchen project. We have used him two other times and plan on using him with our next project."
"…In Phaze sent 3 people for the job, which they completed in 1 day, even vacuuming up afterwards."
"After getting the run around from other electricians I came across In Phase. Wish I found them first."
"Unlike some of their competitors, they don't try to up-sell products that aren't strictly necessary."
Straight answers.
Is the fan included in the price?
No. Our price is the installation; you buy the fan you like and have it on site. The fan-rated box, remote or wall control are parts we supply and are priced on the estimate.
Can a fan go where a light is now?
Usually, but the box has to be rated for a fan. Most light boxes are not, and a fan on the wrong box works loose over time. We swap it for a fan-rated brace box first.
What if there's no box in the ceiling?
We cut in a fan-rated box and run power from a nearby switch or circuit, then patch what we open. That is quoted at the estimate because access varies.
Can the fan and light work separately?
Yes, with two wires to a dual switch, a wall control or a remote. If there is only one switched wire, a remote is usually the cleanest answer.
Can you install a fan on a high or sloped ceiling?
Yes. We size the downrod and use a sloped-ceiling adapter where needed. Very tall ceilings may need a taller ladder or lift, which we price up front.
Do porch and lanai fans need a special fan?
Yes. Use a damp- or wet-rated fan outdoors; indoor fans rust and fail quickly in Florida humidity.
