Installing a remote controlled ceiling fan will help cool off a warm room in the hot summer weather and help to mix the air during winter weather. If you are looking to purchase a ceiling fan for a room in your house and are considering installing it yourself here are some helpful tips for you do it yourself. First decide on the type of ceiling fan that you want. Do you want a remote controlled variable speed fan with lighting and dimmer or a ceiling fan without lighting? Depending on the use may help you decide if you need lighting on the fan. If the fan is going to be installed over a kitchen table or going in a spot where there is an existing light fixture you will probably want a light included. If you are adding a ceiling fan in a family room you may not want the light. There are also different size fans available, choose a size that is appropriate for the room size. Installing the new ceiling fan in a new location may be a little harder than installing in place of an existing light fixture. Most handy people can tackle this project which may be done in a few hours. If you have worked with electric before and have some carpentry skills this will be easy for you to do. Install a Remote Control Ceiling Fan in place of an existing light fixture. Evaluate the ceiling area where the existing light is to see if it will be a good spot to mount the new ceiling fan and check that the fan blades will be clear of any obstructions. If this existing light is on a wall switch this is ok and wall switch will have to be left on for the new fan to operate by remote control. If this location is ok to mount the fan, turn off the circuit breaker for the light and proceed with installation. * Before starting installation unpack the new ceiling fan with all accessories or light kits and check that no parts are missing. Tools and Materials 1. Stepladder 2. Screwdrivers, pliers, utility knife, spackle knife, wire cutter/stripper 3. Cordless drill with bits, safety glasses 4. wire nuts, electrical tape, circuit tester, 5. Remodeling type electrical box with brackets for supporting a ceiling fan 6. Wood screws, scrap 2x6, scrap sheetrock for patching 7. Spackle for patching, touch up paint for ceiling, paint brush Remove the existing light fixture and put wire nuts back on the bare feed wires. If there is access to the area above the light like an attic, remove the existing ceiling electric box and replace with a ceiling fan rated box, preferably a steel box. The new box must be mounted to the ceiling joist to support the weight of the fan and movement. If needed fasten with 3" screws a 2x6 flat bridging in between joists to screw/fasten the recessed electric box to, or purchase a ceiling fan mounting box with extended support arms. * If the space above the light is not accessible you must do this supporting from underneath within the room and use a box with hanger bars. The hole in the sheetrock may have to be made larger to do this and be patched when installation is complete. Spread the bars apart to reach the sides of the joists and fasten with screws. For ease of tightening screws drill a smaller pilot hole first for the screws to go into. After mounting the new electric box feed the wires into is using proper wire fittings to fasten to the box. Follow the installation instructions and install the fan mounting bracket to the box. Pull the feed wires thru the mounting bracket and strip these wires and the wires on the fan motor. You are now ready to install the fan. The fan should have a hang wire or rod to hook to the mount as you connect the wires. Lift the fan motor into this hanger support and connect/splice the wires to the feed side match up wires - black to black, white to white, ground to ground and use wire nuts and electrical tape around the wire nuts. Carefully push the wire slack back into the electric box being careful not to damage wires. Fasten the other portion of the mounting canopy to the box and this part of installation is complete. Hang the fixture in place and measure the distance to the floor it is best to be above 84" the stem of the mounting should have height adjustments. After the fan motor and the wiring is complete, gather the fan blades and screws needed to install fan blades. Follow the installation manual for installing the fan blades. Fan blades should be installed with the finish color facing down and install alternate blades to keep fan level while tightening screws. Optional light kits - install the light kit now, use wire nuts on all splices and check for obstructions. Install the glass lamp covers if provided. Install lamps and do not exceed the maximum rating. Turn on the power source to the fan to test operation and lighting. If fan and light work properly check the settings and direction the fan is running. |
