*Additional contractor works (ie. painting, patching, tiling) not included.
So, they just cut out the ceiling for wiring then left without patching up ? Leaving holes on ceiling ?
If required, installation of a safety switch will incur an added fee of $198.
So, is it required or not ?
The fan needs to be mounted to either an existing timber truss or have timber mounted between trusses. Then obviously they also need to run power cables. If you have an accessible ceiling space they won't need to cut up your ceiling lining as they will be able to go up into the roof space to do their required work. If you have an inaccessible ceiling space they will need to either remove roof sheeting or cut out the ceiling lining.
Safety switches are more correctly called RCDs or RCBOs (RCBO combines an RCD and current overload circuit breaker in the one device) are required on all circuits of new domestic installations, with no exceptions. If this is a new fan in an existing house, it is still treated as a new install and you must bring the entire final sub-circuit it connects to up to current standards. If this fan replaces like-for-like an existing fan, you may not be required to meet the latest electrical installation standards (although this is still not best practice).
I'm pretty keen on this for my new outdoor patio. Looks fantastic value!
Wondering if anyone can work out the brand behind it?

OP might want to add below,

Not so "fixed" price as it seems.
There is no requirement for existing lighting points to be on an RCD in the current wiring rules. And an existing lighting circuit can even be extended without having RCD protection.
Local state regs i.e rentals etc may vary though
If it's not a like-for-like replacement, it's a new install and has to meet the current requirements. You'd have to have a muppet of an electrician to extend a non-RCD protected lighting circuit to install a new fan (without installing an RCD or RCBO on the circuit).
2.6.3.2.5
Installation states that the fan will be installed using the existing lighting connection point. Such point will be moved to the closest beam available if necessary. If so, the old exposed hole in ceiling will not be patched up unless you are willing to pay extra. I hope this clarifies everything.
I've just had patio roof installed with wires run full length down 3 joins of panels.
They will be connected to house by electrician for the 3 LED's.
Would that satisfy their free installation requirements?
No
what does the installation entails ?
where do they pull the power from ?
do they need to cut out the ceiling ? then patch up ?
