Ceiling Fans And Lights – Two why you should use a ceiling fan, air conditioning. If you live in a very cold climate, fans can push heated air gathered at the ceiling back down. Ceiling fans could be all to easy to install for those who have some mechanical aptitude. Current ceiling fans feature remote-controls to vary speed and adjust lighting. If your room already features a permanent fixture within the ceiling, your permanent fixture probably has one hot or feed wire gonna it, the neutral white as well as the bonding green or copper. Essentially this is the three-wire system. Many new construction homes have four wires available, one for your light and one for your fan motor control as well as the neutral and ground. If you just have one Hot wire feeding the ceiling junction box, the remote-control fans work using your application. Additionally some remote-controlled fans use wall controller which sends its signal for the fan being a TV remote. It just looks like a wall control unit. If you really need the electricity wire on your remote-controlled fan, please cap over fourth wire which you will not want to utilize. This must be shown in your directions that came with the fan assembly.
Once you’ve got acquired a follower you like, build it according for the instructions given. Some fans are a much more complex, ask a buddy to help you if necessary. It is best to make sure it is assembled correctly, having a ceiling fan blade thud you on your head could be annoying. Once you’ve got the pre-assembly completed, you can now prepare the ceiling junction box. Of course I know you’ve got already made certain the electricity for the ceiling box is turned off with out you can energize it accidentally. Once you’ve got done this, you ought to find three wires within the J-box. A copper or green wire for bonding. A white wire for your neutral along with a red or black wire for your power. If your junction box features a fourth wire, this would be setup for a wall controlled fan switch that’s great and allows you to utilize 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 assist the singular feed in your ceiling junction box.
A word about weight, not yours but anything regarding the height and width of your fan. If you’ve got a big fan and it is weighted near 12 pounds or higher, you need a special junction box that may keep the additional weight. I would recommend you may well ask someone who knows about these heavier fans if that’s what you really are gonna install. Most fans are lighter and could be set up in most junction boxes without modifications.
Now let us get it down there, the fan that is. Many fans feature a Hanger in the shape of a U. Install this hanger on to your box, the screws must be 8/32 types. That means a size 8 diameter or gauge screw with 32 threads per inch. Once you’ve got the hanger installed, pick-up your fan motor with no blades installed and hang up it on the hanger. This allows you the electrician to connect the wires without struggling to juggle the motor and wire it concurrently. Connect the bonding wire for the chassis as noted within the instructions. Next connect the white neutral wire, and today the black wire. Swing the fan into place while using parts provided. Some have brackets, some utilize a metal plate while others use preformed mounting bases. Use your instructions and you will have a follower quickly. Smaller fans may necessitate that you pre-assemble your blades before hanging the fan. I always found installing the motor first after which installing the blades last is less difficult. It does require however, that you work above your mind to get the blades attached.
Once you’ve got the fan hanging, the blades installed and everything tightened you can now step over ladder, relax, then install the wall controller as provided. These all vary in design however they all follow similar procedures. Remember, you will have a line and load situation here. This means, the line side may be the group of wires the feed in the switch box through the panel whilst the Load side is gonna your fan. This is critical so ensure you understand the difference. Connect the Load side first: Connect your bonding wire first. Then connect your white neutral wire. Then your hot wire. Next do the Line (incoming) side next: Bond or ground should already be composed for the new controller. Next wire your white neutral for the controllers neutral for your Line side. You may have already wired your neutrals together as outlined by your instructions. Now wire your Hot or Power wire for the Line side of the controller. If you’ve got the fourth wire in that room, cap it off or use it for your motor control and connect it accordingly for a directions. Red to Red is often the case here. Once completed, be some Iced Tea and revel in your new fan.
