When the Call Came In
One afternoon, we received a call from a homeowner in Morris Plains requesting help with a ceiling fan install. They were replacing a fan—about 10 feet high in the ceiling—and wanted it done safely and efficiently. Understanding the task involved not just mounting the fan, but also removing the existing fixture, installing a new single-pole switch, and securing the metal ceiling box, we knew this required both technical expertise and a steady hand.
Our Approach and Technique
At First Class Electric, we follow industry-best practices and local codes. For this Morris Plains Ceiling Fan Install job, we began by shutting off power at the breaker panel, verifying voltage with a meter, and confirming there was proper support for the fan assembly.
- - We removed the original light fixture safely, taking care not to damage the existing junction box or wiring.
- - We assessed the metal ceiling box. If there had been inadequate support or no proper bracing, we would have reinforced it with a dedicated fan-rated box—common best practice in installations above 8 feet.
- - We terminated and reconnected wiring using wire connectors rated for ceiling fan loads, ensuring secure line, neutral, and ground connections.
- - We installed the new single-pole switch, wiring it to control the fan, and neatly anchored the switch in the box with proper grounding.
- - Once powered back on, we tested the fan’s operation, verified that the mounting was secure with no wobble, and ensured all connections were tight and Code-compliant.
Our attention to detail and safety is part of why Morris Plains homeowners rely on us. According to our core philosophy, we "not only fix and install—but educate our customers about electrical safety and system operation”.

Technical Insights & Local Context
According to Angi and HomeAdvisor data, a typical ceiling fan installation in areas like ours depends on complexity, difficulty, and wiring needs. Complex or high-ceiling installations—like the 10-foot-high job we completed—could take up to four hours. We ensure efficiency through preparation, so downtime is minimized and you get excellent value.
In Morris Plains, where many homes are older and style-conscious, ensuring proper load support, Code-compliant grounding, and quiet operation is critical. We draw on NEC standards and local NJ regulations to guarantee every install is both safe and reliable.
