Overview
Properly installed ceiling fans can lower your energy bills and significantly improve room comfort. Whether you're replacing an old fan or adding one to a new location, we ensure a wobble-free, whisper-quiet experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can HC Electric PM install a ceiling fan in a room that doesn't have existing wiring?
- Yes. We run new electrical lines from your breaker panel or nearby circuits behind the drywall, install a code-approved fan-rated electrical box, mount the ceiling fan securely, and wire it to a wall switch or a wireless remote control system.
- What is the difference between indoor and outdoor ceiling fan installations?
- Outdoor fans installed on patios or porches must be 'damp-rated' or 'wet-rated' to withstand humidity, condensation, and direct moisture. HC Electric PM installs weather-resistant fans with rust-proof blades and sealed electrical connections to ensure safety under Texas weather conditions.
- Why does my ceiling fan wobble and make clicking noises at high speeds?
- Wobbling is usually caused by unbalanced fan blades, loose mounting brackets, or because the fan was installed using a standard plastic light-fixture box rather than a heavy-duty metal fan-rated support box. We replace weak boxes, secure the mounting to your ceiling joists, and balance the blades for quiet operation.
- Can I connect my newly installed ceiling fan to my smart home system?
- Absolutely. We install smart wall switches (such as Lutron Caseta, Kasa, or Leviton) that allow you to control fan speed and light settings via phone apps, voice controls (Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit), or automated timers to save energy.
