About Our Fan & Light Install Service
Upgrading your ceiling fans and light fixtures is one of the fastest, most affordable ways to transform the look and feel of any room in your Chicagoland home. Whether you are swapping a basic builder-grade flush mount for a contemporary pendant, installing a whisper-quiet ceiling fan in a bedroom that has never had one, or adding a statement chandelier above your dining table, the job requires more than just connecting a few wires. Junction box ratings, circuit load calculations, proper bracing for fan weight, and local electrical code compliance all factor in — and getting any of them wrong can mean a safety hazard or a failed inspection.
Arlington Heights is known for vibrant downtown dining scene — and homeowners here hold their contractors to the same high standard.

“Had four ceiling fans installed — two in bedrooms and two on our screened porch. CrestLine ran the wiring for the porch fans from scratch. Everything works perfectly on the wall switches with separate light/fan controls. Quick, clean work.”
