Ceiling Fan Covers – Two reasons to put in a ceiling fan, air conditioning. If you live in a very cold climate, fans can push hot air gathered near the ceiling back. Ceiling fans may be simple to install when you have some mechanical aptitude. Current ceiling fans feature remote-controls to vary speed and adjust lighting. If your room already features a fitting in the ceiling, your fitting probably has one hot or feed wire going to it, the neutral white and also the bonding green or copper. Essentially this is the three-wire system. Many new construction homes have four wires available, one for that light and something for that fan motor control and also the neutral and ground. If you only have one Hot wire feeding the ceiling junction box, the remote-control fans will continue to work together with your application. Additionally some remote-controlled fans use wall controller which sends its signal on the fan like a TV remote. It just appears to be a wall control unit. If you merely have the ability wire on your remote-controlled fan, please cap off the fourth wire which you will not want to work with. This ought to be shown in your directions that included the fan assembly.

Once you have acquired a follower you prefer, build it according on the instructions given. Some fans are a much more complex, ask a buddy to help if you need to. It is best to make sure it is assembled correctly, using a ceiling fan blade thud your self on the top may be annoying. Once you have the pre-assembly completed, you can now prepare the ceiling junction box. Of course I know you have already made sure the ability on the ceiling box is deterred with no you can energize it accidentally. Once you have done this, you should find three wires in the J-box. A copper or green wire for bonding. A white wire for that neutral plus a red or black wire for that power. If your junction box features a fourth wire, this may be build for the wall controlled fan switch which can be great and allows you to work with a non-remote wall controller. I should mention that some all fans feature a wall controllers designed as remotes so don’t be confused since these all use the singular feed in your ceiling junction box.

A word about weight, not yours but a thing in regards to the height and width of your fan. If you have a big fan and it is weighted near 12 pounds or maybe more, you might need a special junction box that may offer the more weight. I would recommend i hear you ask someone who knows about these heavier fans you might need what you will be going to install. Most fans are lighter and may be positioned in most junction boxes without modifications.


Now let’s get it down there, the fan that is. Many fans feature a Hanger shaped like a U. Install this hanger onto your box, the screws ought to be 8/32 types. That means a size 8 diameter or gauge screw with 32 threads per inch. Once you have the hanger installed, pick-up your fan motor without the blades installed and hang up it around the hanger. This allows you the electrician to hook up the wires without struggling to juggle the motor and wire it simultaneously. Connect the bonding wire on the chassis as noted in the instructions. Next connect the white neutral wire, and today the black wire. Swing the fan into place while using the parts provided. Some have brackets, some make use of a metal plate and some use preformed mounting bases. Use your instructions and you’ll have a follower quickly. Smaller fans may need you to pre-assemble your blades before hanging the fan. I always found installing the motor first then installing the blades last is easier. It does require however, you to work above your mind to have the blades attached.

Once you have the fan hanging, the blades installed and everything tightened you can now step off the ladder, take a deep breath, then install the wall controller as provided. These all vary in design but they all follow similar procedures. Remember, you will have line and load situation here. This means, the queue side is the group of wires the feed to the switch box through the panel as the Load side is going to your fan. This is critical so ensure you see the difference. Connect the Load side first: Connect your bonding wire first. Then connect your white neutral wire. Then your hot wire. Next perform the Line (incoming) side next: Bond or ground should already be comprised on the new controller. Next wire your white neutral on the controllers neutral for that Line side. You may have already wired your neutrals together in accordance with your instructions. Now wire your Hot or Power wire on the Line side of your respective controller. If you have the fourth wire in there, cap it off or use it for that motor control and connect it accordingly for a directions. Red to Red is often the case here. Once completed, be some Iced Tea and get your new fan.
