Just note that I, a humble one man team, crafted this video using my spare time with the express goal of sharing knowledge for those with inexperience. If you would have told me this video would someday be the third result when you search "how to replace a ceiling fan" on the internet, I would've never believed it. NO MID-ROLL ADS.
Questions? that's cool. I might be able to help. Depends on the fan. Also, check the instructions if you have them.
Note: I now have a video detailing the installation of a ceiling fan remote to cover that process more in depth: • How to: Add a remote t...
I used music from DJ AG in this video. If you don't subscribe to him immediately, someone will break into your house and steal your ceiling fans: / @djag
Whoever disliked the video is jealous of my badass ceiling fan
This is by far my most viewed video. Common questions answered here:
-The blue fan is a Hampton Bay Cameron II Plus manufactured somewhere in the late 90s.
-The old fan is a Craftsman 52" of some sort, don't really know
-The old fan is not for sale; my grandparents wanted to keep is as a back up.
-I acquired the blue fan from an old house I no longer live in. I took it with when I moved out and replaced it with a different fan. I couldn't leave such a beauty behind.
-The video has about 1,000,000 views, which is completely beyond my scope of comprehension. What an incredible milestone! Thank you everyone for stopping by!

I worked electrical retail for 10 years and hung my share of fans.... you disassembled and assembled it exactly like you're suppose to. very nice! I hate those hampton bay fans with that style of mounting.... too many parts and its makes it really hard to wiring done when you have almost zero clearance to work with.... but, you did it! love the blue.... the glass shades are expensive to replace! that color is hard to find! when changing out a fan, always remove the blades by the arms.... I hate it when I see fans in thrift stores and garage sales when they still have the blades attached... the blades get warped that way and makes the fan get out of balance....not to mension, ruins the blades!

@ashleyslates13 2 года назад

I am very glad you made this video because I have never installed a ceiling fan or any light fixture alone, but I actually understood your tutorial and I feel confident that I can replace the fan in my daughter's room I have been waiting to have done but it seems my brothers have been to busy and unable to assist with. Hopefully I don't find any surprises after taking the old one down, but here goes nothing. And again thank you for making this video.

@WAEMIDIV 2 года назад

It's really not a difficult thing like everyone makes it seem, I believe in you!

@WAEMIDIV 3 года назад

Hello, I apologize for the unprofessional demeanor in this video. I made this when I had like 200 subscribers, and didn't expect anyone to actually watch it. I am aware the music is a bit loud and there are a few things I would do differently if I were to make the video again. Instead of leaving a dislike, consider leaving some constructive criticism. If you decide to stick around, you'll find mostly Jeep content unless you have any ideas for me. I might make more electrical tutorials, it depends who wants what. I appreciate all the views and I hope an equal amount of ceiling fans have been installed worldwide. ALSO - If you get any MID ROLL ADS on this video, please leave a comment to let me know! I hate advertisements interrupting anything I'm doing, especially when I'm trying to learn. I have intentionally disabled mid-roll ads on every single one of my videos, but I've heard YT is just putting them on anyway. If you do get a mid roll ad, that's 100% on YT, not me, and there isn't anything I can do about it. We've hit 1,000,000 views, which is an incomprehensible milestone that I thank you all for!

Did you consider adding a fan rated box and bar in the ceiling? Or is this held onto a joist somehow?

@randomuser2461 2 года назад

I'm assuming those square screws don't strip as easily as phillips heads.

@WAEMIDIV 2 года назад

@@randomuser2461 I don't know how it's mounted up there, but I do know it's held the previous fan for like 40 something years so I just kind of assumed there was a fan rated mounting point there already. If you're installing a fan where there is currently just a light fixture, you should definetly get a fan rated box to hold it up there. Some older ceiling fans are actually quite heavy and need the extra support The square bit screws are pretty awesome, because you can't strip them unless you're deliberately trying to. I was simply unprepared at the time, and had never seen them before
