Ceiling Fan Installation and Repair

A ceiling fan keeps a room comfortable and can trim cooling costs, but only when it is mounted correctly. A poorly supported fan can wobble, make noise or, in the worst case, come down.

Dorn Electric handles ceiling fan installation, replacement and repair across Southern California. Before every job, the team checks the wiring, the support box and the ceiling itself.

What We Do

New fans: bedrooms, living rooms, patios and covered outdoor spaces.
Replacements: swapping an old or noisy fan for a new one.
Fans where there is no fixture: running new wiring and installing a fan rated support box.
Controls: wall switches, remotes and smart controls, with or without a light kit.
Repairs: wobbling, humming, dead fans, broken pull chains and faulty switches.
Ceiling lights: flush mount, semi flush and pendant fixtures.
Recessed downlights: clean lighting without fixtures hanging down.
High and vaulted ceilings: the right extension rods and safe work at height.

Why Professional Installation Matters

The support box:

a fan needs a box rated for its weight and movement. A standard light box is not enough.

The wiring

Correct connections prevent overheating and breaker trips.

Balance:

Solid mounting cuts wobble and noise.

Code:

safe installation protects your home and your insurance.

Questions We Hear Often

Can a light fixture be swapped for a ceiling fan?

Yes, if the electrical box is rated to support a fan. If it is not, we replace it with a fan rated box and brace.

Why is my ceiling fan wobbling?

Loose blades, an unbalanced blade set or a weak mount are the usual causes. Tightening and balancing often fixes it, though a poor support box needs replacing.

Can a fan go where there is no existing light?

Yes. We can run new wiring from a nearby circuit and install a fan rated box in the ceiling.

How long does installation take?

A simple replacement usually takes an hour or two. A new install with added wiring takes longer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yeah no, terrible experience, and with Mike Dorn specifically. I went with this company for my electrical issue because of all the good reviews haha. I made a mistake in thinking I needed a new breaker and agreed over text to pay 225 for him to replace it but when they came down to my house it turned out the switch just needed a harder push to turn on and no need for any kind of repair. I apologized and Mike right away started going on and on about replacing my breaker anyway for 225 since he already came "all the way down here" all the way down from Apple valley to Hesperia by the way, and his gas, and his time I apparently just wasted. Would not leave. I offered 50 to get this man to stop his tantrum and got a little eye roll and more talk about his precious 2 min I just wasted, not to mention he had initially told me 2-4pm that same day and then rescheduled for the next day instead but this is all about Mike and his time guys, then he said something about 125 and I was like ok done just to get him off my yard😂. He shook my hand, got his smile back, and acted like a decent person again after payment haha. His work partner Richard was very, very nice maybe one day hopefully he can get away from Mike. Mike if you're reading this, thanks for nothing! You are extremely unprofessional and untrustworthy with no common decency behind your fake friendly little act you have going. Enjoy the 125 you needed it that bad I guess to harass someone like that over an honest mistake😂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding service! I contacted Mike to replace an outdated electrical panel. I had tried other contractors/electricians before Mike. Most wouldn’t even respond to requests. When I called Mike he answered the phone himself. He provided a quick estimate and scheduled the work within a week. Extremely satisfied with the workmanship. He even did a couple extras at no charge. You won’t be disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live in the middle of Timbuktu.  But when I called Dorn Electric, they said we handle that area.

If you want fast and financially feasible electrical work performed effortlessly and your home left in order....call them now.

We are 1000% satisfied with the services performed.  4 outdoor lights, 1 ceiling fan install and 1 corrected, 2 smoke detectors and transferred a light switch from an outer wall to an inner wall installed in no time.

Punctual, Personable and Professional.

Thank you doesn't express our gratitude for their services.
