Hugger Ceiling Fan With Light – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly next to a flat horizontal fairly low ceiling where it can be taken care of, and where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, according to the room size being fitted, and will cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that are reversible. Except for the tools and possible the rest required for installing them, their self-assemble kits include the rest. In many cases, the fan, that may have its very own lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity should be off at the site the place that the fan shall be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, turn off its fuse or circuit breaker together with flipping its wall switch to the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder in the installation; tend not to lean or enter into 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 further screws for securing the junction box, if necessary
Installation steps (after reading the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the light fixture from the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly remove the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws from the electrical junction box inside the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, ensure the wire connections to this particular fixture are cold (test light will stay off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail for connecting the crooks to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the property is old, only two wires might exist, a black one along with a white one. Tip: also look into the firmness from the electrical box inside the ceiling. If it can be not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which can require drilling two holes inside the box for the kids. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to the light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends from the tailing wires inside the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket on the box using the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside from the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly from the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger in to the centralized holder from the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly is supposed to swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for that motor along with a blue or off-color one for that lights being attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of these two wires (motor and lights) together using the stripped end from the black ceiling wire inside the box, and twist connect them together using the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire on the white ceiling wire the same way.
Then, to hold these connections from loosening while the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of these nuts for their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from the bracket frame) on the electrical box if your box is also grounded having a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask an experienced about this green wire connection. Some will say to get forced out be, i.e., do nothing with it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud on the far ends from the mounting bracket using the small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges from the motor and also the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (4 to 6) and mount them. After deciding on the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades for their end brackets using the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades on the bottom side of fan motor using the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed on the motor to hold them separate from the rest from the kit hardware.
Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level within this step, install the blades one-by-one opposite to one another to begin with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly on the small round central housing unit just under the fan blades via the quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders inside the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if your lighting assembly is just not wanted unconditionally. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch to on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set to come on using the wall switch, while the fan itself is controlled through the pull-chain switch only, initially set inside the off position. Note: The ceiling fan carries a reversible motor switch that allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
