I had an issue with a Modern Forms Ceiling fan I purchased at TCF in February of 2024. I contacted Modern Forms and they ran me through some diagnostics and said the receiver was broken. I called John Andrews, the owner of TCF and he was super helpful. He arranged for a new receiver to be sent to me directly from the distributor. We've used TCF for decades and love their selection and service. A true local Austin treasure. I avoid the big box hardware stores for my ceiling fans and only go the the best.

My wife and I built our forever home and we were looking for the right ceiling fans to put in our new home. After driving all over Austin, we went to Texas Ceiling Fans and we both fell in love with the historical fans they had on display. Mike was awesome in explaining the history behind each fan and when I met John, the owner, I was blown away. John is the real deal. We purchased 5 antique fans and 3 new ones. David came out to install them and he too is extremely knowledgeable. Overall, it was a great experience and I would not buy anywhere else! read more

This place is awesome! Great selection of fans and quick, quality install. What makes it even better is the service. We bought a fan there over 5 years ago. This morning when we woke up, the fan was dead...no blade action and the lights would not come on. I reset circuit breakers and even took the wall switch apart and checked with a multimeter to ensure the switch was good (it was). Just before going shopping for another fan I decided to call the store and ask if there was something simple I was overlooking. I spoke to Mike, and he told me in a few seconds how to check to see if it had lost it's programming (it had) and how to reset it. Saved me the dreaded shopping task, more money and another installation. Thanks Mike!! You would not get this kind of service if you bought at a big box store. I will only shop at Texas Ceiling Fans for any future needs. Skip the rest and go to the best....Texas Ceiling Fans!! read more

Mike helped us get out of a pinch with some great 62" Minka Aire ceiling fans for a restaurant that was just getting a bit too warm with this unusually hot summer we've had. His recommended installation fellow David was also fantastic - we had fans blowing in the property in under a week from purchase. We'll be throwing a bunch of handiwork his way over the coming weeks. If you're looking for fans in town, stop in - you won't regret it. read more

Texas Ceiling Fans is, at the very least, two things: "Old-school Austin" and hands-down the best place to buy ceiling fans in Central Texas. Whether you're a fan of music or a fan of fans, you're sure to be delighted the moment you walk through the door. John Andrews built the business from the ground-up in 1977 after coming off the road with his old folk-blues-rock band Mother Earth. Mike Sconce is the showroom manager and head salesman. He is full of knowledge and quick-wit. Watch out! You're gonna be in stitches before you leave. There are over 120 high quality fans on display. Make sure you check out the antique fan museum while you're there. TCF has been in business for 40+ years. They're clearly doing something right. Also worth noting, they are THE one stop shop for the Hunter "Original" ceiling fan - quite possibly the best ceiling fan ever made. Definitely the longest-running!! Stop by and tell em Jack sent ya ;) read more

I would highly recommend doing business with Texas Ceiling Fans. I recently had the motor go on a relatively new, high dollar, large ceiling fan. John Andrews, the owner, went the extra mile to rectify the situation. Not only did he get me a replacement fan, but even better--reimbursement for the installation of this (second) fan, as I had already paid to install the original fan. It is refreshing to find a local business that stands behind its products and is very knowledgable of the products they sell. read more

So, was cutting it close by getting to Texas Ceiling Fans 5 minutes before closing. I need not have worried; the doors were locked at 4:55. Guys, I know we all want at the end of the day to close-up and get home. But it sure would have been nice if someone, maybe the same person who saw me walk-up to your shop, had at least tried to find out if whatever I needed could quickly be taken care of. Anyway, off to The Home Depot, where I very likely will not get the same ol' Austin folksy service I can only guess I would have gotten at Texas Ceiling Fans. But what I will get is service until, and not one single minute earlier than, closing time. read more

Go now! If you found this review then you, like me, already fruitless searched the big box stores and online. One visit here will reignite your love for shopping local and make you ashamed for not starting here first. Top quality products with 40+ years of knowledge. This is old Austin at its most spectacular. read more

we had a really positive experience with Texas Ceiling Fans. awesome local store and great customer service. we looked in person at a bunch of fans around the store, and we were also given a couple catalogues to look through and given some additional info. Mike was friendly and helpful. we were told that they could order us whatever we liked that we saw, including different downrods and such, and we ended up ordering five fans from them. ordering was easy, pickup was easy, and I'm really glad we used Texas Ceiling Fans. very happy with our new fans! read more

I needed a fan and wanted to find a store with more of a selection and people who could answer my questions. This store has a special feeling when you go in and is worth the trip. I found they were very knowledgeable about the product and I found the store charming. The prices range from very affordable to very expensive and the owner helped me find the right fan for me. I had even picked out a more expensive fan and he made sure I saw one that was very similar but a bit less expensive and I did end up purchasing that model. It looks fantastic in the house-he was right! If you want good service, head down to Texas Ceiling Fans. I found a fan I wouldn't have found otherwise and was able to support a local business. read more

Hello? Helllo? HELLLOOOO?! Wandered around for about 5 minutes before seeing a human being. Once I found someone, they were helpful - answered some questions, gave me some catalogs. The casablanca fan I wanted was obscenely expensive, so I left. Glad I did, because I found it at lights fantastic for about 200 bucks cheaper. read more

I've bought ceiling fans here for several houses, and really appreciate the good customer service. Sure, there aren't twelve salespeople hovering over you, but I enjoy spending a few minutes looking at the vintage fans while I wait. Prices are very fair-- they will help you sort through the many options and find a good one. read more

Before I tell you my experience with TCF, I am so grateful TCF's recommended Mr.Studebaker to balance my ceiling fans a few years ago, because he is my go to guy getting my house in shape, his repairs save me money and his prices are reasonable. Although he's a very busy guy, worth the wait. As far as TCF, first time I went there they had a strict no return policy, and I am stuck looking at this oversized light fixture everyday. This time I went to get a new ceiling fan from TCF (love the Casablanca's). One thing though...I'll never be able to forget one of the worker's virtually mooning us whilst sitting at a table. (That famous Plumber's crack.). It was ghastly. My friend and I laughed about it, but you can't unsee that! And, I just wouldn't point it out in person. The other fellow, Mike, was helpful enough. My ceiling fan was installed by My Guy Mr.Studebaker and I love my fixture. And, surprisingly, Texas Ceiling Fans has since changed their policy; now accepting returns. read more

Be careful dealing with these folks. I bought a $50 fan control there on their recommendation. It turned out to not be the right one. I took it back and was told by the manager that they would credit my credit card. After a month it was still not credited. I talked to the manager who said they would take care of it. Weeks later and still no credit. I contacted my credit card company, but they were no help. So I am out $50 and no fan controller. They appear to be a quite slipshod run organization. You can get the same products elsewhere at a lower price. If you do business with them, always get every promise they make in writing. read more

LIAR, LIAR! I would give negative stars if I could, you should avoid this business like the 'covid-19 plague'! We purchased five fans, all smart fans. When our electrician showed up to install one was missing pieces so after contacting the manufacturer and getting the part ordered we decided to return the others and exchange them (we would have returned them all but the business will not take back open product). After being chastised by the clerk for not contacting him about the missing part we made the exchange, with him grumbling and comm bring under his breath the entire time. We made it clear that we wanted smart fans and he assured us the fans he ordered for us were, indeed, smart. We decided to try to change the order and faxed a request to the stores published fax number as the sole clerk wouldn't pick up the phone. Thinking all was well we went on. Fast forward one week, one day before install and still no fan. We call and first are told 'we never promise a delivery date.' When advised we had a delivery date on our receipt, the clerk said he would call right back. We then ask if he received our fax order to which he replies 'we don't have a fax.' When he's directed to his own web page the response is 'oh, you still have to take what you ordered.' So, here we sit, four of the five fans not smart and two fans we really didn't want. I guess they assume people only purchase ceiling fans occasionally so why bother with good customer service. read more

I cannot say enough great things about John at Texas Ceiling Fans. After some research, I was referred to John for help restoring an Emerson fan that originally hung in my great-grandfather's shoe store in Wilmington NC. We live in Charlotte, NC so I packed up the pieces and sent them all the way to Austin. Unfortunately some damage occurred during shipping, but with John as our advocate, the shipping company promptly reimbursed us. John not only did a great job restoring the fan, but he also sent step-by-step installation instructions for our electrician and offered to be available by phone for any questions. I am sure John has worked on many fans similar to the Emerson fan we sent him, but he treated our heirloom as if it had been handed down in his own family! Thank you John! read more

Texas Ceiling Fans should be the only place anyone looks for ceiling fan purchases, installations and repairs. We bought 2 original Hunter ceiling fans 28 years ago from Texas Ceiling Fans. Recently the fans started emitting a high pitched squeal. John at Texas Ceiling Fans has gone above and beyond to ensure our fans are repaired. He personally did the repairs on the first fan, and went to great lengths to order the particular part it needed. He arranged for transport from overseas, and kept on top of the order every week or so to make sure it was delivered. He repaired the fan masterfully. He even met me after hours to pick up the fan. John has been incredibly gracious and helpful. He's a real Texas gem and Texas Ceiling Fans are the very best! Thank you! read more

Most awesome experience! Who knew looking for a ceiling fan could be the most harrowing experience when doing work on a home. Out of replacing every sq. inch of flooring, countertops, sinks, paint, windows and siding in our house, ceiling fans ended up being the largest pain in the arse. Until I went to this place! In our great quest to replace the gaudy and shiny gold, if sweet since it holds sentimental value, fan in our dining area to match our other decor while we're having a lot of other fixtures updated, we went all over the place. We were thoroughly unimpressed at several Lowe's and Hell Depot locations. We went to a lighting place that we found online over the weekend that a) didn't have what we wanted, it would take too long to order, and b) what they had in stock was not great. And we are having the electrician over in 5 days. So I told my husband I'd head to Texas Ceiling Fans on my lunch break. As loving husbands are wont to be, he said the reviews, thus far, for this place were lackluster and that he surmised, being that they're located on W. 6th, that they'd charge a premium. As loving wives are wont to be, I understood but didn't let that sway my determination to find a fan before the electrician shows up this weekend! This is one of those times I'm grateful that I didn't listen to my caring, loving, wonderful husband. hehe I say this since I'm about 93% sure he'll read it. Don't tell him I said that. A sweet older gentleman shook my hand and introduced himself to me when I walked in the door. I told him what I was looking for. He showed me a few units that were perfect. One that we chose and was out of stock at aforementioned lackluster lighting place was in stock here! I ended up going with that one and it was about $130 less (I spent less than other places, with upgrades and got exactly what I wanted which, compared to what we've seen, is a bargain!). I opted for an upgraded light kit. I guess they're not used to dealing with friendly people since they gave me a small discount. Now, that having been said, you should check this place out JUST for the awesome vintage pieces they have! They restore fixtures from the 1800's that are simply gorgeous and amazing! I told them that, when I move up in the world, I'm coming back for some. A previous reviewer mentioned the pricey restored fans. If you look at fans online, you might be shocked to find that the nicer units are always pricey. A restored fan that will last another 200 years deserves to be pricey. The prices on those things are not bad, considering. As with all fans these days, you get what you pay for and you can find all sorts of price points. I am really, really happy with what I paid for today! read more

The service here is always topnotch. Been going here for years. Beautiful fans as well.

Ok. First the location is awesome. The shop is a great Austin original and is fun to browse. Most importantly Mike is super helpful, very friendly, and and overall nice guy. Last the fans are great quality and yes really competitively priced. I was prepared to pay a bit more to support a local business but I didn't have to. They also have really well priced custom fans and lighting. Price ranges from $100 on up so really something for everyone. All this while supporting a great local business! I recommend them to anyone I can! read more

Mike is amazing. Great quality fans at fair prices, especially for being located right in Austin proper. Treated like family and found exactly what we were looking for. read more

Outstanding service and a good selection at fair prices. Centrally located and fantastically authentic. You won't be disappointed.

My first instinct was to shop online for a ceiling fan for the ease and convenience, but a interior decorator I have worked with recommended this place and it reinforced the notion that sometimes, genuine, face-to-face contact is the best way to go. Mike, the manager's, years of experience are evinced in his amiable character and wonderfully helpful service. SO glad this is a Texas gem. read more

I appreciated the selection and quality of fans at this store. Some of their prices are higher than the big box stores but you'd expect that for a specialty store. Customer service was great during the sales process. We had an issue with one of the three fans we purchased once we got it installed, and later a discrepancy about the repair cost but the owner of the store went above and beyond to make it right. We are satisfied customers. Thanks Texas Ceiling Fans for going the extra mile. read more

Having read the poor reviews, I had low expectations when going to this store in search of specialty ceiling light hardware. They completely changed my mind. The owner was courteous and helpful, had exactly what I needed and even painted a finial just the right color. Their restored fans are absolutely beautiful if just a bit pricey. I really liked their outdoor light collection as well. read more

I like quality ceiling fans. This place always serves the best of the best. The customer service is the VERY best of the best. I can walk in, shop around, talk to Mike, discuss ceiling fans or our beloved wiener dogs. You may get a better price online, but nothing will match the personal attention and care that you get at Texas Ceiling Fans. Best part, they can fix a fan you bought elsewhere if it breaks. This is not a big box store, but a local establishment that has the knowledge and the know-how to get you the product you need, and service said product from start to finish. You may pay a couple of dollars more (really, a couple of dollars, no crazy mark-ups and no shipping) and get the best experience of purchasing high-end product in your life. No tactics, no push, just knowledge and guidance to get you exactly what you need and want. I can't even get in to the restoration of their vintage ceiling fans, because that is a book in of itself. If you view ceiling fans as a throw-away basic appliance, head to your local big box store. If you want a product that will outlive any fad, and can be passed on, and repaired, all in one awesome location, shop Texas Ceiling Fans. Mike will hook you up. No, I don't work for them and don't even get all my fans from them. But the ones I do buy, are pieces of art and function that will outlive me, and I'm only 31. read more
