Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
We land at the low end swapping a fan for a fan on a box that is already rated for one. Old unit down, new one up, blades balanced so it runs quiet, light kit assembled, switch and pull chain tested. Eight-foot ceiling, wiring already there.
What the higher end buys
Tall ceilings, a sloped or open-beam mount, or a box rated for a light only will carry the quote upward. A light box will not hold a spinning fan, so a braced one goes in first, and in a hills post-and-beam house there is no attic above to reach through.

Biggest price driver
The ceiling box decides most of this. A fan-rated box makes it a straight swap. An old light-rated box has to come out and a braced one goes in. If there is no wiring at the spot you want, that circuit is work for a licensed electrician.
How to keep your ceiling fan installation cost down
Hang the new fan where a fan already hangs, and pick the room with the lower ceiling if you have a choice. Open the box, check the parts against the manual and clear the floor underneath before we get there.
