Do I need a permit to install a ceiling fan?

• <div><p>If you’re replacing an old fixture with a ceiling fan, you usually won’t need a permit, but if your electrician runs new wiring for the fixture, you likely will need a permit. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">Building permits</a> are necessary in most municipalities if you’re making changes to your electrical system, so even if you have partial wiring run to the area and need new wiring installed for added functionality, you’ll probably need a permit. Your electrician should be able to let you know if you need one, and they’ll typically file the paperwork for you.</p></div>

Q: Should I install a ceiling fan or an air conditioner?
