Replacing an existing fan where wiring and bracing are already in place runs $150–$200. New installations requiring wiring and ceiling box bracing cost $250–$400."},{"question":"Can I install a fan where only a light fixture exists?","answer":"Yes, but the existing electrical box must be replaced with a fan-rated box that can support the fan's weight and motion. This is a common upgrade that costs $200–$300 including the new box, bracing, and wiring modifications."},{"question":"Do ceiling fans save on AC costs?","answer":"Ceiling fans can reduce perceived temperature by 4–8°F through wind-chill effect, allowing you to raise your thermostat setting. In Sacramento's summers, running fans while setting your AC 3–4 degrees higher can save 10–15% on cooling costs — significant when your SMUD bill peaks in July/August."},{"question":"What size ceiling fan do I need?","answer":"For rooms up to 75 sq ft: 29–36 inch fan. 76–144 sq ft: 36–42 inches. 144–225 sq ft: 44–50 inches. 225–400 sq ft: 50–54 inches.
