Ceiling Fan Installation in Dexter, NM
A ceiling fan is one of the cheapest ways to stay comfortable through a New Mexico summer. National Electric NM provides ceiling fan installation in Dexter, NM, whether you are replacing a light fixture, swapping an old fan, or adding one where there is no wiring.
Ceiling fan services
A fan must hang from a box rated to support it. An ordinary light fixture box is not. We install fan-rated boxes and bracing, use downrods sized for the ceiling height, and balance the fan before we leave. Ceiling fans also work well alongside the evaporative coolers many Dexter homes use.

Can a ceiling fan go where a light is now?
Yes, once the box is replaced with one rated for fan support. We do that as part of the installation.
