How to assemble & install a ceiling fan with light kit 

FIRST TIME EVER HOOKING UP A FAN. AND UR VIDEO WAS 100% ON POINT. U WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING SLOW UNDERSTANDING ECT. THANKS DUDE!!!!!!!!

I have looked at quite a few videos on this subject, & I like the way you explained the entire process. No fooling around trying to be funny. Great Job. Thanks again.

Wow.. I literally just bought that exact model at HD. I will be using this video as a guide. Great job. Wish me luck as this will be my first attempt at replacing an older fan with a new one.

Thank you thank you thank you for posting. I have been bugging my husband for two years to install this fan that has been in the box, brand new, in the garage. My 17 year old son and I installed it today, without his help. Just by watching this video, and trying to make sense of the enclosed directions.

thanks for the video. I think I will be able to have confidence in trying to replace our old fan/light now.

I would give this video a 5 star plus , it just make things a whole lot better to live with , thanks a bunch

A great instructional video, thank you. You could start a tech school, and your students will score top marks.

Thank you. I reinstalled my fixture with no problem, thanks to you. God Bless!!!

Thank you for the quick response. It sounds like its coming from the motor. I appreciate your help.

My husband and I watched your video and it was very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you. I couldn't have done it without your help!

Yes. The instructions I got with my fan said outlet box must support at least 35 lbs and it also showed optional wiring diagrams for fan and lights.

I'm replacing the exact same fan. Thanks for the video.

thanks u made this real easy and I don't mess with Electricity on or off. very helpful.😁👌

Thank you ........... I needed help with the three wires coming out of the box and how they connected to the fan.

You did incredible job I enjoyed watching

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you very much for the video whichis very useful.

Good question. If the squeak is in the shaft where it enters the motor assembly, I'm thinking there would probably be pre-sealed bearings here that would be almost impossible to stop from squeaking. If the squeak is somewhere else on the fan like the mounting bracket you might be able to isolate a stop the squeak. Tricky part is to find WHERE the fan is making the squeak.

Thanks....you made my day much easier

Thanks so much. By chance, my new fan is the same make & model as yours. Great help!

Thx for the great instructional video!

Very helpful and exactly the sort of video I was looking for to help me out. Our model is different so some things were necessarily different (our blades click onto the fan, for instance) but you showed the wiring, which was what we needed. Thanks!

On my application there was 2 switches to control the fan. Black wire from one switch controls the fan and the red wire from the other switch controls the lights. I connected red wire from outlet box to blue wire on light kit.

I can't say for sure, but I see it all the time. I had that experience in my own home, in a room with separate switches for the fan and light, which means they planned for a fan, but had a aplastic box nailed to the side of the joist. Best to remove it and put in a brace, because if the new fan has more weight OR torque than the old one, you may get an unpleasant surprise in about 4-5 years. The content of your video is very well done, though.

Thanks for the video... do you happen to have a video on replacing the fan speed capacitor (switch cup) for this fan?

Thanks for posting this. It was very helpful

thanks man for taking the time !

I'm a fan of this video.

Thanks Jamie.

Pretty sure the fan I removed was installed by a licensed electrical contractor when the house was built. Why do you suppose he used a plastic box?

Thanks Martha for watching.

Useful information. Thanks!

There should be a wiring diagram in your instructions. Normally the Black Wire is the Hot, the White wire is the Neutral, the bare Copper wire is a Ground. The Blue wire on the fan is usually for the light kit. The Green wire from the fan is a ground. I'm thinking white to white, blue & black from fan to black from outlet box, bare copper & green wires are grounds. I'll put a link in the video description that will take you to the how to wire it website which should be helpful.

Lifting the air upward cools the ceiling panels and stops the infra red heat from overpowering the air conditioning. The other reason to lift upward has to do with freshness and airborne poisons, which are dissipated instead of concentrated. Six percent saving on heating by lifting, but TWENTY SIX percent savings from lifting while cooling. The gains in freshness remain year-round. All the circulaters should lift. One fan can un-do three, and this includes other rooms and even other floors in the same building!

Very helpful video and narration. My wife and I are closing on a new construction next week and it has 5 pre-wired hookups for fans w/ lights, but it is up to me to install them all. I am certain this video will help. Any advice in terms of efficiency? I was going to ask my wife to assemble all of the fan blade assemblies while I tackle the motor mountings. This should help save some time yes?

Btw, one of our Colorado friends has a ceiling fan just like the one at the end of this video, but in Brushed Nickel and it makes tapping noises.

Thanks.

Scaper, I have a 2 yr old ceiling fan similiar to the new one in your video and mine recently started to squeak. So you have any suggestions on how to fix it? It was fairly expensive $350 without lights.Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much!

Thanks! very helpful

thanks for the tip :D

I can't believe this is exact same fan I have and want to replace.

Thanks for commenting.

If only one of the lights didn't work I would say it was a problem with paint in the socket or a faulty bulb, but if none of the lights work after painting it sounds like a problem with the light switch or a loose wire somewhere.

Not sure if it was an Econ model. I didn't look when I removed the old fan.

Thanks, now is easy.

Good video. I noticed, however, that you must have had the same issue I had with regard to connecting the wires. The fan comes with three wire nuts, and you needed an extra one (the yellow one) to connect an additional wire. Not knowing much about wiring, and thinking it came with all the needed parts, I thought that I was supposed to use the white & red wires together in the same nut, but it obviously needed different connectors, because when I went to turn on the fan, it tripped the breaker.

In my package I found two small black pieces of foam glued to the mounting bracket. Did you remove them or just leave them there?

Another great video. Do these fan blades require balancing weights? One I bought a few years ago did.

I have 2 comment about this. First, when you removed the old fan, you could have hung it on the hook of the hanging plate, so there would have been no rush to disconnect the wires. Second, the box you are hanging the fan from appears to be a plastic one, which fans should never be hung from, because the threads can strip from the fan's torque. On any fan instructions it says " Use an outlet box that is safe for fans", and plastic doesn't meet that standard.

What did u do to with the old fan

i have a situation where the ceiling fan and lights worked prior to taking the ceiling fan down, it was cleaned up and painted,news paper was put in the light bulb outlets prior to being painted and now the fan works but the lights will not

This is an awesome video!! Thanks for the detailed explanation. Whats the process if I need to change a light fixture to a fan/light combo? (it is prewired for fan/light combo. Not sure if thre is the horizontal rod across at the top to hang the fan off of..)

I have a brand new construction home and only 3 wires coming out of the box (red/white/black). I don't seem to have a copper/green ground wire. Did they build my home incorrectly?

Hampton Bay Springview

Iscaper1 our fan started making a noice today and we need to replace it soon

Thanks

Was the ceilings electrical box approved for a fan? Looked like a standard box to me.??

yes they do

Great

i love ceiling fans. they remind me of them diners i saw in the usa. Just one question, can you make a video about how to fix a ceiling fan if it falls off the ceiling, because that is in fact what has happened to mine!!

I installed this fan a few years ago. It is now dead, the light does not work and the fan only works on the lowest setting. Any ideas?

And now I need to hurry and undo the wire nuts funny LOL

Wish the video cited what screws were used. Other than that very helpful.

I have a Hampton bay fan and the lights system is directed and I want to fix it how do I do that

what did u do to the old fan?

What did you end up doing with the old ceiling fan?

Does power has to be off?

I don’t know what the first fan is, but the second fan is a Hampton Bay Springview.

is the new fan still there today

do you still have the ceiling fan

I'm going to turn the power back on we working on the electrical and it will shock you

Was the power off??? You should always start with that.

u could of just put the canopy in first then the tube and left the hanger ball on the tube then

how did you assemble it without an electrician

Here is another tip, get some help, use two A frame Ladders, Turn off the Breaker for the light fixture you are going to replace. Ceiling Fans are heavy, if your mount box needs extra support do that first. It's better to be safe, than sorry.

52" Encon Bouquet Ceiling Fan

No the 24inch ceiling fan pls

I like this Hampton Bay ceiling fan what's the name of this fan and do they still sell them?

What name brand fan this is I like it

The old fan had a hook so you can make wiring connections

what about the wall switch ..you didnt show it pal.

Thanks but no map

Have you ever had a problem with the fan pull switch???

I have a Hampton Bay Carrolton ii with LED light...The fan works fine, but the light is not working...I exchanged one light to Home Depot thinking it was the LED light, still no light...The fan works fine, but the light doesn't...How would I install the light part?

kyle foster

old fan: Encon?

Question why do ceiling fans use candelabra bulbs? Why couldn’t they at least use medium base bulbs that are not included or included CFLs or LEDs that would be MUCH BETTER. ALSO THE LIGHT IS SO DIM. AWESOME NEWS: THEY STOPPED USING CANDELABRA BULBS AND NOW COME WITH MEDIUM AGAIN. I bet on the old fan the lights would be fairly bright.

Hampton bay ceiling fan

Old fan: unknown. New fan: Hampton Bay Springview.

FIRE HAZARD, THE lights overheat the fan speed selector , on this specific model
