New Ceiling Fan Hooked Up to the Wall Switch in Vancouver, WA
A new bedroom ceiling fan in this Vancouver home wasn't working off the wall switch. We reworked the switch box so the fan and light come on together, and swapped a kitchen outlet for the one the homeowner picked out.

Scope of Work
- Opened the switch box and reworked the wiring
- Set the switch to run the fan and light together
- Replaced a kitchen outlet and plate with ones the homeowner supplied
This Vancouver homeowner had a new ceiling fan up in the bedroom, but it wasn’t working off the wall switch. We’d been out to this house in August, so they called us back.
The switch
The switch box had several cables in it. We opened it up and reworked the switch box so one switch turns on the fan and the light together.
The outlet
While we were there, we swapped an old almond outlet in the kitchen for the new outlet and plate the homeowner had picked out.

What customers say about our ceiling fan work
they fixed my kitchen lights - now I need sunglasses - LOL Also installed a great ceiling fan in my family room. Quick, knowledgeable and a painless process
Newman Electric came out and gave a honest and fair price for installing a ceiling fan and bringing power to our bakery’s ice machine. They had the work done within one week. They even fixed a prior problem we had with some wiring that the original electricians had done when we built out the space. As a small business owner you are This is the first time in a long time that I don’t feel as if I might be taken advantage of. Thank you so much!!!
