Elysium Electrical is a licensed electrical contractor (EC16523), a member of the Electrical Contractors' Association of WA (ECA-WA), and an Accredited Master Electrician with Master Electricians Australia. With 200+ projects completed across Perth, our ceiling fan installations are carried out to full WA safety standards, with every job backed by a proper compliance certificate.
A ceiling fan needs more than just a hole in the plaster — it needs to be mounted to something that can actually carry its weight and handle the constant motion. We fit fans to a proper ceiling joist or fan-rated bracket, wired correctly, so it stays safe and rattle-free for years.
Benefits of a Ceiling Fan
- ✓ Improved airflow and comfort in any room
- ✓ Energy-efficient alternative to air conditioning
- ✓ Safe wiring and secure mounting to ceiling joists
- ✓ Wide range of styles to suit any space
- ✓ Can run in reverse in winter to help push warm air back down into the room
- ✓ Lower running costs than air conditioning for everyday comfort
Why Professional Installation Matters
A ceiling fan is a spinning weight hanging over a room people sit and sleep in — it's not a fixture to guess at. Here's why a licensed install matters:
- ✓ Proper support — standard light fixture boxes aren't rated for the weight and movement of a ceiling fan; it needs to be fixed to a joist or a fan-rated brace
- ✓ Safe wiring — correct cabling and switching, including separate fan/light control where needed
- ✓ Balance and stability — a poorly mounted fan can wobble, rattle, or loosen over time
- ✓ Compliance — installations are completed to Australian wiring standards, with a compliance certificate issued for the work
- ✓ The right fan for the room — indoor fans aren't rated for exposed outdoor areas, and we'll point that out rather than install the wrong type

5. Certificate & Handover
You receive a compliance certificate and a full handover of the completed work.
Choosing the Right Ceiling Fan
The right fan depends on the room, the ceiling, and where it's going. A few things worth knowing:
Blade Size vs Room Size
Larger rooms generally need a larger fan diameter to move air effectively — an undersized fan in a big room won't do much, and an oversized fan in a small room can feel overwhelming.
Ceiling Height & Downrods
Standard ceilings usually suit a standard downrod, while higher or raked ceilings may need a longer downrod, or a flush-mount fan for lower ceilings. We'll check this as part of the site assessment.
Indoor vs Outdoor-Rated Fans
Fans installed in exposed outdoor areas like alfrescos or patios need to be rated for outdoor/damp conditions — a standard indoor fan isn't built for that environment.
Seasonal Direction
Many fans have a reverse switch — running counterclockwise in summer creates a cooling breeze, while clockwise on low in winter helps push warm air back down into the room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can any light fitting be replaced with a ceiling fan?
Not always. A standard light fixture box usually isn't rated to support a ceiling fan's weight and movement — we check whether the existing point can be reinforced or if a new fan-rated mounting point is needed.
Can I install a ceiling fan on an outdoor patio?
Yes, but it needs to be an outdoor or damp-rated fan designed for exposed conditions, not a standard indoor fan. We can recommend the right type for your outdoor space.
Can I add a remote or wall control to my ceiling fan?
Most modern ceiling fans support remote control or a wall-mounted speed/light control. We can wire this in as part of the installation if it's not already included with your fan.
How long does a ceiling fan installation take?
Most single ceiling fan installations are completed within a couple of hours, depending on whether the existing wiring and mounting point can be reused or need modification.
Why is my ceiling fan wobbling or noisy?
This is usually caused by an unbalanced fan, loose blade brackets, or an insecure mounting point. If your existing fan has developed a wobble or rattle, we can inspect it and correct the issue.
