Giant Ceiling Fans – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly close to a flat horizontal fairly low ceiling where it really is taken care of, and from where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, according to the size of room being fitted, and may cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that happen to be reversible. Except for the tools and possible other areas needed for installing them, their self-assemble kits have everything else. In many cases, the fan, which will have its very own lighting, will replace a ceiling fitting.

Safety, The electricity has to be off to begin the location where the fan is to be installed. If the fan is replacing a fitting, power down its fuse or circuit breaker along with flipping its wall exchange signal of the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder during the installation; usually do not lean or end up in a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is needed, get professional advice or help first. Tools needed, instructions (electrical) eye glasses or goggles step-stool/ladder Phillips screwdrivers pliers electrical tape knife or sissors AC tester light wire cutter/stripper tape measure (optional) electric drill and extra screws for securing the junction box, if necessary

Installation steps (looking at the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the fitting from the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly get rid of the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws from the electrical junction box in the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, ensure the wire connections to the fixture are cold (the exam light will always be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect these to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the residence is old, only two wires might exist, a black one and a white one. Tip: also check the firmness of the electrical box in the ceiling. If it really is not solidly connected to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which can require drilling two holes in the box for the children. The ceiling fan is heavier than the fitting. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends of the tailing wires in the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket to the box using the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside of the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly from the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger into the centralized holder of the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly should certainly swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for your motor and a blue or off-color one for your lights to get attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of such two wires (motor and lights) together using the stripped end of the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together using the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire exactly the same way.


Then, to hold these connections from loosening while the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of such nuts with their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from the bracket frame) to the electrical box if your box is also grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask a professional about this green wire connection. Some will say to leave it be, i.e., do nothing at all by it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud to the far ends of the mounting bracket using the small screws provided. It covers/hides the perimeters of the motor and the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (4 to 6) and mount them. After choosing the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades with their end brackets using the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades to the bottom side of fan motor using the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed to the motor to hold them separate from the rest of the kit hardware.

Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level during this step, install the blades individually opposite to one another to begin with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly to the small round central housing unit just under the fan blades using the quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders in the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if your lighting assembly is not wanted at all. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall exchange signal of on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set into the future on using the wall switch, while the fan itself is controlled through the pull-chain switch only, initially set in the off position. Note: The ceiling fan has a reversible motor switch that enables the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred. For more information on ceiling fan installation, see the following sites.
