Impulse Electrical installs and replaces ceiling fans across the Mornington Peninsula — into existing light points or with fresh wiring runs, including separate fan/light switches, remote controls, high-ceiling downrods and outdoor-rated alfresco fans. All work is done by a licensed A Grade electrician (A53308), with free quotes and most installations completed in one to two hours.
Mornington Peninsula summers can be brutal — and ceiling fans remain one of the most cost-effective ways to cool your home without running the air conditioner all day. Whether you're renovating a weatherboard in Dromana, fitting out a new build in Mount Martha, or replacing an old fan in your Rye holiday home, Impulse Electrical handles the full installation safely and to code.
💡 Peninsula tip: Fan + reverse mode = year-round savings
• In summer, run your fan anti-clockwise (standard) to create a cooling breeze
• In winter, switch to clockwise at low speed to push warm air down from the ceiling
• Using your fan with aircon can reduce energy use by up to 40%
• We can advise on the right fan size for your room dimensions
A standard ceiling fan installation into an existing ceiling rose typically costs contact us for a quote. If new wiring is required (no existing light point or adding a separate switch), expect contact us for a quote depending on ceiling height and cable run length. We always provide a free quote before starting work.
Most ceiling fan installations take 1–2 hours. If we need to run new wiring from the switchboard or install a dedicated wall switch, allow 2–4 hours. We carry common parts on the van to minimise return visits. Farms and larger rural Peninsula properties may require additional time.
Absolutely. We can run new wiring from your switchboard to any room, install a new ceiling fan point and switch. This is common in older Peninsula homes and renovations. The cost depends on cable length and ceiling access — we'll assess and quote on the spot.
Yes. Replacing an old or faulty ceiling fan is one of our most common jobs. We remove the existing fan, check the wiring and mounting point, and install the new unit safely and to code. We carry common parts on the van to minimise return visits, and most replacements are completed in one to two hours.
Yes — we install outdoor-rated ceiling fans designed for alfresco areas, verandahs and covered outdoor entertaining spaces. Outdoor fans are built to handle moisture and coastal conditions, which matters on the Mornington Peninsula. We also handle high-ceiling installations with downrod extensions where extra drop is needed for airflow and safety clearances.
If your fan has an integrated light, a separate fan/light switch gives you independent control of each — so you can run the fan without the light or vice versa. We install separate switching, and can also wire remote controls and smart fan controllers if you'd prefer app or remote operation instead of a wall switch.
Yes. In summer, run the fan anti-clockwise for a cooling breeze. In winter, switch it to clockwise at low speed to push warm air down from the ceiling and even out room temperature. Used together with your air conditioner, a ceiling fan can reduce energy use by up to 40%, making it a year-round investment.
