Useful Tips to INSTALL or REPLACE the Ceiling Fan

 

A ceiling fan looks stylish and functional also adds an extra décor to your room.  Ceiling fans are heavy to fix so they require some additional support. When you choose the fan make sure that it is convenient for your room. The larger the room, the bigger the fan, so take an exact measurement to fit the longest wall in the room.
If you are planning to install the ceiling fan that already has an existing outlet then it is same as wiring any ceiling fixture. If the room doesn’t have the overhead box, then install the electrical box and fix the wires through the walls and across the ceiling.

To install and replace the ceiling fixture follow these tips:

When you fix the ceiling fan first thing to consider is where you will be getting power. Because you may find a lot of pairs of wires in the ceiling box, so some may be wired to the circuits other than the one you are using. It is a good idea to use a voltage tester just to check the screw terminals on the side of the switch. Make sure that they are not electrically charged if you are sure then gently push the switch and wire out of the box. If the wires are mounted to the back of the switch then push the screwdriver into the rectangular slots next to the wire holes.
