Ceiling Fan Wiring

Written by admin on September 25, 2008 – 12:48 pm -

Ceiling fan wiring is actually pretty simple. If you want to install your new ceiling fan and feel comfortable doing some basic electric wiring, there’s not much to say. Of course, the very first step is to make sure the electric power is turned off for that section. Don’t ever mess around with live electric wires.

Most fans also have a lighting fixture built in, that means you’ll have a couple extra wires in there for that function. Don’t worry, that will be the easiest part, just like wiring a light bulb. Check your fans schematics or instructions. You need to know which wires go to the lighting, and which go to the fan motor. After that it’s just a matter of making the right connections.

Doing a final re-check is advised, before turning the power on. Then, you should do a quick test run, to make sure everything is working properly (never forgetting to follow the proper safety procedures). After which you just need to assemble the rest of the ceiling fan parts, and it’s done. You now have a new ceiling fan, and you just saved some valuable dollars by installing it yourself.
