Im 14, i lost my dad last year, thank you so much for the help, im installing my new fan right now

Single mom here that does it all but has had my ceiling fan in its original box for about 5 month's since moving in and renovating our new home. I've done it all...demo, drywall, carpet , tile but was terrified to install the fan. I'm getting my tools together right now to put this baby in NOW! Thank you so much for sharing and in such a detailed way. New subscriber 💜 from NC

Julie is blessed and highly favored to have you for her dad. Great for doing your videos. Extremely helpful.

I’ve been waiting for someone to help me install a new ceiling fan. Thank you. I’m doing it my self.

You're the closest thing I've ever had for a dad. Thank you sir!

Hi Dad! Thank you for thinking of those of us who don't know this type of stuff.

This is by far the best how to video for this project. Thank you,

Hi Chris, just wanted to let you know that, thanks to this video, I installed a ceiling fan in our home yesterday. Having 0% confidence working with electricity (I have tried on occasion and have tripped circuit breakers), it was your detailed instructions that got me through. My wife and I thank you.

First time watcher , forever a subscriber . “Handy Dad” love it

I haven’t even seen the rest of your videos and I’m already excited to learn. Your voice is so calming and nurturing. You make it doable for DIY ppl like me. Thank you so much. You’re heaven sent.

Very helpful video! I ended up installing a very similar model and this was perfect.

You have a nice smile, sir, thank you.

Just became a home owner last August. Replacing all the ceiling fans in the house so this is really helpful... Thanks!

I wish my dad taught me how to do things like this. I worked at Disney too! My favorite job ever. Guess I’ll subscribe!

I'm sure the landlord will have no problem with your daughter leaving that 'upgrade' installed ....They can now charge an extra $10 bucks a month for that unit!...lol. Great video, I feel confident enough now to replace our bedroom fan with a unit that has more horsepower.

Thanks "Dad!" Just the advice needed for me to become Handy Mom and get a ceiling fan installed in my boys room!!

This video is great. I want to install a fan in my mom's house but fear of burning it to the ground from my inexperience. So seeing your videos will give me at least some courage to see if the boxes are even made for it. Appreciate your help in this. All the best! Love NJ!

HandyDadTV Great video! I just purchased a house myself and they wanted roughly $400 per ceiling fan and the they did not look like they were worth it. But I did have them build it where it was ready for the fans. Now I don't have to pay someone to install them. Appreciate the DIY!

New homeowners and this saved us. Don't have anyone to help teach us this stuff so this has been a huge help. Following this page for help. Thank you!!!

My dad is in a different country and I wasn’t sure I could do this by myself- you made sure I could! Thank you!

I need a dad like this 🙌🏼😊

This is a great video...simple instructions and a great help!

I’m doing this! Now I’m confident about doing this.

Nice video. Its simple and clear. 👍🏻 makes it easy for the younger generations to learn new things.

So helpful, especially the electrical portion. Thanks for the video!

In my experience living in FL the past 10 years your house/apartment will come with a light or a fan in each room, never a 2n1. You'll also usually have at least 1 outlet per room connected to the light switch which to this day annoys the shit out of me

After watching this video I was able to replace a ceiling fan on my own. I never could have done it without this video. Thank you!

You are freaking awesome my amigo. With your video I was able to install the fans in my kids room. Happy kids now. Thank you so much.

Great ceiling fan installation, Definitely in the top two(2) best that I have seen.

Thank you, Mr. Chris. I am about to embark on this journey at my home. I will be installing 5 fans. I greatly enjoyed this tutorial. Very informative.

Clear instructions I give it a 10/10 thank you.

Also first time watcher, you’re saving my life pre-child!

At 0:25, hilarious introduction, "Virtual Dad in the cloud".

Great video thanks! Especially enjoyed the video editing in reverse when you put everything back together lol, looked seamless!

Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

Daddy u are an awesome father I could tell from the start but u didnt do the video like you were teaching it to your daughter , more like i dad doing it so for me it was a bit faster than i needed. You were on point but i know it's going to t take multiple watchings to get it... stay tuned I'm trusting u. Gonna try it tomorrow.. I lost my dad so you are it for me..so thumbs up

Dear Sir, you are the easiest person to listen to; you have such a calm and relaxed voice! I love it! I actually wish your video was longer! Subscribing now!

👍 Two thumbs way up dad! 👍 Your video is great and welcoming. The perfect mix of professional and good 'ol home feel wisdom. I'm definitely subscribing on one of my channels. Keep up the amazing job. I wish I was like you.

This is what I needed to learn how to put my ceiling fan up,thank you😊

Wow so funny! I moved from NJ to Florida to work for the mouse (kind of....) and I have to install ceiling fans in my new apartment!

I'm Josh and Julie's friend. I work electrical around Disney. Great video pops!

Wow!!! You made it look like it was a piece of cake to install. Definitely subscribing! My new home will be built Feb 2021 so I’m having all rooms pre wired for ceiling fans. So I’m gonna do my best to install them my self just to save a lot of money.

First video I've seen from Handydad and it was a huge help. Definitely recommend subscribing.

Great video Handy Dad but as a woman I’m still a little timid about trying it myself right now❤️ Thanks for sharing very helpful info

I bought a ceiling fan, and the instructions in the booklet were terrible, with spelling errors, bad Google translation to Chinglish, I could not really understand anything. Thanks to your video I could hang it step by step and was able to install the fan-lamp. Thank you so much for filming this video! Hugs from Jerusalem

I was so threatened to install a ceiling fan in my new build till I watched this. This was a fantastic tutorial!!!

Holy crap that was easy!! Great video

Great how-to video! Thank you!

Great video! Just curious how would I determine the ceiling box is rated for a fan?

So satisfying you made that look so easy

Excellent tutorial thank you so much

Great quality video and great work. Nice vid.

How'd you know the ceiling box was one that's able to support a fan and not just a light fixture

First timer! Thanks Handy Dad. This helped so mucj

Thanks for sharing your knowledge very informative, it inspired me to focus more making electrical video

You’re a good dad for doing that

Thanks for sharing!

This is awesome! Thanks, virtual dad in the cloud!

Gives me a great starting point

Quick and to the point. Good advice. Thanks for the video!

Much more helpful than the factory instructions. Thank you for making this video

Brilliant!

So helpful!! Thank you!

Very good stuff Handy Dad!

Great video thanks for the upload!

Thank you much! This explained it all.

Love your videos! Informative and to the point.

Incredibly helpful!!! Thank you!!!

Great vid thanx Chris

Hello, I just watch this... its great and you are fast at doing it.. question, how can it be done when there is wires or a whole to mount it and no attic...???

Thanks HandyDad!

Great video!

Excellent tutorial!

Thank you so much. I just moved into a high rise in downtown st Pete to go to USF. Rent is $2,000+ a month for a one bedroom and there’s not a single ceiling fan in sight.

This was much help thankyou

Excellent video

My son's bedroom appeared to have a ceiling fan mount because it was wired with a light switch and then also a 3 speed wall mounted speed controller. So I took down the rather industrial florescent light and sure enough 3 wires coming in, white, black and red with the red connected to the florescent light and the black just capped. The box also appeared to be mounted by 4 metal screws heading up, and a check with a stud finder showed the box was not attached to a stud so it must have a metal fan support. But then Doh! The mounting bolts did not fit the holes on this 25 year old box! So I found some that did, found a washer that could bridge the smaller bolts to the mounting bracket, and voilà! But being a somewhat nervous guy I also put in a lag hook to one of the joists and hung the safety cable. So far so good. Wiring red to blue, black to black, and white to white resulted in the wall controls performing as expected. Since most new fans do not have a cable for reverse but instead just a little switch on the side nobody ever uses, it works great. I suppose I could have got a new box and attempted to attach it to the brace, but I bet the hole pattern and bolts are all different for that too, so I just chanced using the bolts that fit even though they were smaller. They must have supported a fan at some point, or were at least intended to. And the fan I got was a "small room" size so it isn't super heavy. Pro tip: Some fans, including the one I put in, have an "access hole" inside the switch casing for mounting the fan blades. The bolts for the packing rubbers and fan blades cannot be accessed any other way.

I love it 👍🏻

Awesome video, thanks for the info....

Thanks DaD. Great video!👌

You are a great dad I’m sure Julie is proud.

Do you need to cut the power from circuit breaker?

That was so nice to watch you made it seem so easy! haha

very helpful. thank you!

Thank you so much sir!

Thank you do much!

Thank you for your help!!

Awesome channel 👍 thanks for the help!

Excellent video👍🏾

Thanks man!

Any way you could do a video on how to attach a solar panel to the breaker box or however it works

Thank you for this how to video...very helpful!

Cool video dad thanks.

Outstanding! That could not have been more clearly presented. The narration is good too. Question. Do you know what the up and down switch on the fan, above the blades does?

Awesome!!

Thank you dad

Thank you so much ♥️

You had me at " Your Virtual Dad In The Cloud.. " 😂😂😂😂

Most apartments I've rented over the years come with nothing on the ceilings, and the wall switches are usually hooked up to the worst electrical outlet in the room's top outlet, so the renter can plug in a floor / desk lamp. Just less stuff a bad renter can break or steal, I guess.
