What you're paying for
What is usually included: Labor to mount and wire the fan on an existing fan-rated box, balancing, and remote or wall-control setup. The fan itself is usually extra.
What moves the price:
- Whether the existing box is fan-rated; replacing it with a brace box adds $100–$250
- Ceiling height and vaulted ceilings that need ladders, lifts or downrods
- Adding a wall control or separate light switch circuit
- Assembly of the fan, which some companies bill by the hour
Ceiling height, whether a fan-rated box already exists, fan weight/features (lights, remote), and whether a new switch or wiring is needed.
