Ceiling Fans
Everything You Need To Know

Ceiling fans are a staple in many Sydney homes—and for good reason. They’re energy-efficient, cost-effective, and stylish, making them a top choice for indoor and outdoor spaces alike. Whether you’re upgrading, renovating, or just after a more comfortable space, ceiling fans are a simple way to make a big difference.

At JayCab Electrical, we install and maintain all types of ceiling fans—from modern DC ceiling fans to those classic designs with lights and remotes. Let’s explore everything you need to know.

What are the benefits of ceiling fans?

Ceiling fans aren’t just for cooling. They’re a year-round solution that can help regulate the temperature in your home more efficiently.

Here’s why ceiling fans are a great investment:

  • Lower energy bills: Fans use significantly less power than air conditioners.
  • Stylish lighting: Many come with built-in lights, perfect for multifunctional spaces.
  • All-season use: Reverse the direction in winter to circulate warm air.
  • Versatile placement: Ideal for bedrooms, patios and outdoor entertaining areas.

What types of ceiling fans are available?

There are a few popular types to choose from, depending on your needs and style.

  • Ceiling fan with light: Perfect for rooms that need both lighting and air circulation.
  • Ceiling fan with light and remote: Ultimate convenience—adjust the speed or lighting without leaving the lounge.
  • Outdoor ceiling fans: Designed to handle The Hills' unpredictable weather, great for patios and decks.
  • DC ceiling fans: Energy-efficient and whisper quiet—great for bedrooms and living areas.

What's the difference between AC and DC ceiling fans?

  • AC fans are your traditional ceiling fans, great for everyday use.
  • DC fans are more modern, use less energy and run more quietly. They often come with more speed settings and remote control features.

If you’re building or renovating, DC ceiling fans are definitely worth considering.

How much does ceiling fan installation cost?

Professional ceiling fan installation in Australia can range from $150 to $350, depending on complexity and location. If you’re replacing an existing fan, it’s usually more affordable. For new installs (especially where there’s no existing wiring), the cost might be a bit higher.

Can I install a ceiling fan myself?

No—attaching a ceiling fan or doing any electrical work in Australia legally requires a licensed electrician. It’s a safety and compliance thing.

That’s where we come in. From installing a new ceiling fan to swapping out an old one, we’ll get it done safely and efficiently.

Which way should a ceiling fan spin in summer and winter?

  • In Summer: Your fan should spin counter-clockwise to push cool air down.
  • In Winter: Switch it to clockwise to gently circulate warm air near the ceiling.

It’s all about airflow direction. This little switch can make a big difference to your comfort and energy use.

How do I choose the right ceiling fan size?

Measure your room to find the right fan size:

  • Small rooms (under 10m2): 48" or smaller
  • Medium rooms (10-20m2): 48 - 52"
  • Large rooms (20m2+): 52" or bigger

Need help choosing? We can help you measure ceiling fan size and find the best match for your space.
