If you live in Fort Myers, you already know ceiling fans aren’t just a “nice touch” or something you hang for looks—they’re essential. The heat here isn’t shy, the humidity loves to sneak into every corner of the house, and when summer finally shows up, everyone starts searching for a way to cool down a little without cranking the AC to impossible levels.
We get calls every week from homeowners who say the same thing:
“My old fan’s wobbling like it’s about to launch into orbit,”
or
“The pull chain snapped again,”
or
“We’re finally replacing the fan the builder installed 15 years ago.”
Some folks are upgrading to bigger fans for vaulted ceilings. Some are adding fans to lanai spaces. And a lot of people—especially newer homeowners—just want a clean, safe, code-compliant installation because they don’t want their fan falling off the ceiling or rattling all night.
That’s where we come in. At Coharbor Electric, we install ceiling fans all across Fort Myers—McGregor, Gateway, Colonial, Treeline, Downtown, the Villas, Whiskey Creek, San Carlos, and just about everywhere else. And, honestly, we’ve seen just about every type of fan and every kind of electrical surprise you can imagine.
Installing a ceiling fan sounds simple until you see what’s hiding above the drywall. Sometimes it’s just a plain junction box. Other times, the old box isn’t rated for a fan. Or the studs are odd. Or the wiring’s outdated. Or the last handyman left a whole mystery situation that we have to sort out.
Here’s what our ceiling fan installation service typically includes:
• Installation of new ceiling fans in any room
Bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, patios—if the ceiling can support a fan, we can install one.
• Replacement of old, noisy, or unbalanced fans
If your fan shakes like a washing machine with one shoe in it, it’s time.
• Installation on high ceilings or vaulted ceilings
These require special downrods, bracing, or even safe ladder or lift setups.
• Outdoor/lanai-rated ceiling fan installation
Fort Myers humidity demands fans rated for outdoor use—we help customers choose the right type.
• Upgrading old electrical boxes to proper fan-rated boxes
This is important. A lot of older homes aren’t equipped with the right box to hold the weight and movement of a fan.
• Remote-control and smart fan wiring
We handle smart switches, remotes, Wi-Fi-controlled fans, and dual-switch setups.
• Troubleshooting wiring problems from previous DIY attempts
We see everything—from melted wire nuts to mystery switches that don’t do anything.
Even with good AC, a ceiling fan can make the room feel cooler by several degrees, and it helps your AC work less—meaning fewer repairs and a lower bill. But fans have to be installed correctly or they become a headache.
Some of the common issues we run into include:
Fans that wobble because the mounting bracket is wrong
Electrical boxes not rated for fan weight
Switches wired incorrectly
Outdoor fans rusting because the wrong type was installed
Downrods that don’t match ceiling height
Low ceilings needing hugger-style fans
Fans humming at certain speeds due to loose connections
Fort Myers weather doesn’t do anything halfway. If a fan isn’t built or installed for Florida humidity, it won’t last long. The motors rust, the blades warp, and the bearings go bad far faster than they should.
That’s why we don’t just “hang the fan.” We make sure it’s wired, mounted, balanced, and rated for the environment it’s going into.
We install ceiling fans in all types of homes and buildings:
Single-family homes
Condos and apartments
Townhomes
Restaurants and cafés
Offices
Outdoor lanais
High-ceiling living rooms
Vacation rentals and Airbnbs
Some neighborhoods we’re in regularly include:

And, of course, everything is installed according to Fort Myers building code and Lee County electrical requirements.

Straightforward pricing

A homeowner in Whiskey Creek reached out because their old living room fan had started making a sound they described as “a helicopter slowly landing in the house.” We’ve heard that description more than once, actually.
They had a high vaulted ceiling and wanted a new 72″ fan for better airflow. Bigger fans need proper support and correct downrod length, so we checked the attic access and the existing box.
Sure enough, the old box wasn’t fan-rated. It was barely hanging on.
Here’s what we did:
Installed a proper metal fan box with correct bracing
Mounted the new downrod securely for the 72″ fan
Balanced the blades
Rewired the switch to include a separate fan/light function
Cleaned up the 20-year-old wiring that had been patched multiple times
Made sure the fan was running smooth at all speeds
When we switched it on, the homeowner said, “I can’t believe how much air that moves compared to the old one.”
A few days later, they called back and asked us to install fans in two bedrooms, too. That’s usually how it goes—once people see the difference a properly installed fan makes, they want more.
Q: How much does ceiling fan installation cost in Fort Myers?
It depends on ceiling height, wiring conditions, and whether the box needs upgrading. We give straightforward pricing once we see the setup.
Q: Can you install fans on outdoor lanais?
Yes—just make sure the fan is outdoor-rated. Indoor fans won’t survive Fort Myers humidity.
Q: My current fan shakes—can you fix it?
Most of the time, yes. It depends on the mounting and the box.
Q: Do I need a special box for ceiling fans?
Yes—fans require a fan-rated electrical box that can support weight and movement.
Q: Can you install smart fans or remote-controlled fans?
Absolutely. We handle the wiring and switch setup.
