Planning a fixture or ceiling fan replacement

Refresh a room with a fixture or fan that suits the space. Share what is installed now and the model you are considering so the scope can be reviewed.

01

Photograph the existing installation

Include the fixture, ceiling area and wall controls. Mention how the current setup works and what you want to change. This helps Maz understand the job before discussing the replacement.

02

Share the replacement details

Provide a model number or product link, including any remote or smart control features. A new fan or fixture should be reviewed with the existing installation rather than chosen on appearance alone.

03

Explain the access conditions

Ceiling height, stairs, furniture and outdoor exposure can all affect the work. Mention anything unusual about the location and whether the room can be cleared before an appointment.

04

Agree the scope before installation

Discuss removal of the old item, the intended controls and any additional work found during assessment. Installation requirements vary, so confirm the approach and any permit or specialist needs with Maz before the job starts.

Bring these to the conversation

  • What fixture or fan is there now?
  • What is the ceiling height?
  • Have you chosen or purchased the replacement?
