If you are planning to install a ceiling fan in a room that already has a ceiling outlet, wiring a ceiling fan is the same as wiring any ceiling fixture. If the room doesn’t have an overhead box, hire a certified electrician to install the box and fish the wires through the walls and across the ceiling. Save the fun of installing the actual fan for yourself.
To install a ceiling fan through by expert electrician then follow these steps:-
1 Remove the Existing Light Fixture.
2 Remove Box and Cut New Hole.
3 Attach New Electrical Box.
4 Glue on the Ceiling Medallion.
5 Mount the Ceiling Plate.
6 Assemble the Fan Components.
7 Make the Wire Connections.
8. Attach the Blades and Lights
Caution: Before removing the old light fixture, turn off the electricity to the light at the main electrical panel. Then flip the wall switch to confirm that the power is off.
If you have the make and model numbers of your fan, you can go to YouTube.com and type something like "install ceiling fan" in the search bar. They will have tutorials on how to install one.
