I wanted to install ceiling fans in my house but there there were no existing outlets in the ceiling so I got an electrician to do it. He created 2 holes in the ceiling and 2 in the wall to run the wire through. These holes look ugly and they need lot of work to cover them up. I dont want to do the same thing in my master bedroom.
Is there any other way I can install a ceiling fan without digging holes in the ceiling or wall and still get the wires run inside the walls?

Repairing the holes in your walls doesn't need to be such a daunting task. Have a quick look at this video on how to patch your drywall:

It will look far better in the long run if you let the wiring be run within the walls and learn how to patch them. All told the drywall (you can often get small 2x2 boards for patch work at Home Depot), cutting knife, spreaders, joint compound (premixed)and tape will run you around $50. By contrast running electrical in conduit will cost you just that much for the conduit alone and look far less appealing.
