Your Ceiling Fan Installation Knowledge...
Ceiling fans make a real
difference in your home's climate, both for cooling and heating at
a far lower cost and operating expense than almost any other item.
The installation begins with choosing where the fan should be located.
In almost all homes, the fan is installed in the center of the room,
replacing a central light fixture. This spot provides a smooth air flow
to most of the room. Since a fan draws about the same power as a
ceiling fixture, the electrical circuit shouldn't be overloaded.
But if your fan includes lights, be sure the circuit it's on has enough
extra capacity to handle the load. If not, you must run a new
circuit with a new circuit breaker from the house main service panel or
sub-panel to the fan. If there is no central light fixture,
you'll have to create a place to hang the ceiling fan. Then, you'll need
to bring electrical power to it. You can tap into an existing circuit to
do this. If this is beyond your capabilities hire a professional! |
