Expert Ceiling Fan Installation in Ottawa
Is your home suffering from stagnant air, or are you staring at a cardboard box wondering how to mount that heavy fan safely?
Nothing is more frustrating than a sweltering Ottawa summer day without proper airflow, or the anxiety of a DIY project that involves dangerous electrical wiring. You might worry about the fan wobbling, making noise, or worse—falling because the junction box wasn’t rated for the weight. You deserve a cool, comfortable home without the stress of climbing ladders or deciphering complex wiring diagrams.

Many electrical contractors in Ottawa will not take a job unless it involves wiring a whole house. We are different. Whether you need a single fan installed in a nursery or ten fans replaced in an apartment complex, we are happy to do the work. We handle everything from minor repairs to complete renovations, ensuring you never have to beg a contractor to return your call for a “small” job.
Ottawa summers can get hot and humid fast. When you buy a new fan, you want it up and running now, not next month. We offer immediate response times and flexible scheduling to fit your busy life. For urgent needs, such as a fan that has become loose or sparked, our 24/7 emergency service ensures your family remains safe and comfortable.
Ceiling fan wiring can be tricky, especially in older Ottawa homes in areas like the Glebe or Old Ottawa South. We ensure all connections meet the current Ontario Electrical Safety Code. We eliminate the risk of electrical shorts or fire hazards by using professional techniques to secure wire nuts and ground the fixture properly. Your safety is our non-negotiable priority.
A properly installed and balanced fan does more than just look good; it saves you money. By improving air circulation, you can lower your thermostat in the winter (by reversing the fan direction) and raise it in the summer, reducing the load on your HVAC system. Our professional fan installer will show you how to optimize your fan for seasonal savings, making this a cost-effective solution for your home.
We are not just handymen; we are trained professionals who take pride in our trade. With years of experience serving Ottawa, we carry full liability insurance and WSIB coverage.

Ottawa Owned. Ottawa Proud.
When it comes to installing a ceiling fan, there is much more involved than simply connecting a few wires. The difference between a professional installation and a risky amateur job often lies hidden within the ceiling.
Our comprehensive process begins with a safety inspection of your existing electrical box. This is the most critical step. Standard light fixtures use boxes that are not designed to hold the weight or withstand the vibration of a spinning fan. If we find a standard box, we replace it with a heavy-duty, fan rated junction box. This ensures your fan stays securely on the ceiling, where it belongs.
We treat your home with meticulous care. Our technicians use drop cloths to protect your furniture and floors from dust or drywall debris. We handle the assembly of the fan blades, the installation of the downrod, and the connection of remote control receivers with precision.
Once the fan is mounted, we don’t just leave. We test the fan at all speeds to check for wobbling. If the fan is unbalanced, we use balancing kits to ensure smooth, silent operation. We also verify that the wall switches or remote controls are functioning correctly. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, our process is designed to be seamless, efficient, and exceptionally thorough.

Jennifer L., Kanata,
"I was terrified to turn on the old fan in our master bedroom because it wobbled so violently. I called My Ottawa Handyman, and they were incredible. They identified that the original mounting box was loose—a huge safety hazard. They replaced the box and installed our new modern fan in under two hours. I am so relieved and impressed by their safety focus."
Sarah M., Westboro
"I had a list of about ten small things that had been bugging me for years—a sticking door, some drywall cracks, and a wobbly deck railing. Other contractors wouldn't even return my call for such 'small' work. My Ottawa Handyman came out to Westboro, gave me a fixed price for the whole list, and finished it all in one day. I felt so relieved!"
Ed Khalil., Barrhaven
"We bought three fans for our new home in Barrhaven but realized the ceilings were too high for us to reach safely. The team arrived the next day with the proper ladders and equipment. They handled the ceiling fan installation quickly and even programmed the remotes for us. Professional, polite, and efficient."
David C., Kanata
"We manage several rental units in Kanata and need a reliable partner for residential property maintenance. This team is incredible. They handle everything from emergency handyman services when a pipe leaks to turnover repairs like painting and patching. They are fast, professional, and make my job as a landlord much easier."
Priya K., Barrhaven
"I needed some home repair Ottawa services to get my house ready for sale in Barrhaven. They fixed a leaky faucet, caulked the bathtub, and touched up the baseboards. The house looked brand new for the open house. Their immediate response helped us list on time."
Robert L., Alta Vista
"As a senior living in Alta Vista, I can't climb ladders anymore. I hired them to clean my gutters and change some high floodlights. The technician was so polite and patient. He even noticed a loose shingle and fixed it while he was up there. It's hard to find that level of care these days."
Elvira M., Alta Vista,
"Honest and skilled. I thought I needed a new fan, but the technician showed me it was just a bad capacitor. He fixed it for a fraction of the cost of a replacement. That kind of integrity is rare in Ottawa. Highly recommend for any handyman ceiling fan needs."
Wei T., Kanata
"I tried to install a TV mount myself and hit a metal stud. I didn't have the right tools. I called them, and they sent someone the same afternoon. He had the right anchors and had the TV up in 20 minutes. The 'No Job Too Small' promise is the real deal."
Elena R., Orleans
"We had a general contractor Ottawa cancel on us last minute for a bathroom vanity install. My Ottawa Handyman stepped in and saved the day. The plumbing connections are tight, and the vanity looks great. The 48-hour guarantee gave us extra peace of mind."
