For some people, wiring a ceiling fan is something that they would not want to get close to. You will be amazed by just how you could benefit from doing the work yourself. Depending on the type of fan you got, it would depend on how complex or easy it would be to wire it. In most cases, the manufacturer would send you the fan with an instruction manual on how to install the model. Simply follow the instructions and you should be done in less time.
One other thing you have to make sure is that you have chosen the right size of the fan for the room. Do not choose a model that would be effective in cooling the whole room.

Detailed Procedures on Wiring a Ceiling Fan
1. Start by turning off the power to the existing fan or light.
This is a precaution so that you do not end up being electrocuted. By using a circuit tester, you can easily verify if the power is turned off. For the case of dual switching, make sure that both the one that controls the light and the one for the fan are both off.
2. Proceed to disconnect the wires then remove the existing future.
You can have an assistant to help with catching some of the fixtures as you get them from the location.
3. You now need to check if the electrical box you have in the ceiling can power the ceiling fan.
This is when you have removed a light fixture from the ceiling. If it was a ceiling, then it should be an easy job of just swapping. If you are unsure of the electrical box, then it is time that you chose to install a new one that would also support the weight of the new fan.
4. For those installing a new electrical box, make sure that it is fastened tightly on the wood brace so that it does not move when the fan is turned on.
The next thing would now be installing the new ceiling fan into position with the electrical box installed.
5. Depending on the type of fan, it would come with the schematic diagram on wiring the fan.
Make sure that you follow the color coding and connecting the wires correctly. With the wires connected, then it is time to mount the ceiling fan into its position.
6. Remember that the connection might also vary depending on whether you are using two switches or one for both the light and fan.
Make sure that there are no bare wires left hanging.
7. With the fan and lights installed, it is time to test it.
If you notice some wobbling, then you have to balance the fan. It is often tightening or loosening the screws to get it running right. You should good to go at this point.
Just like that, the wiring process is done. The key is to follow the manufacturer’s instructions always. They would help you easily get the fan working correctly at all times.
