Unique Ceiling Fans

New construction, but house is finished. Do I run it from an existing box in the attic? Off another ceiling fan?

I’m trying to convert a ceiling fan into a fan that just plugs into a wall. is this possible? I need it to work with a potentiometer (the dimmer was one we had used with the fan). are there any hazards I should look out for? (over heating due to run time or something) any websites you can provide would be awesome. thanks!
I already have all the parts, just need to know how to do the conversion.

I’ve recently bought a ceiling fan for my room. I’d like to draw on the blades something that could be seen when looking it. I can paint quite well, using Acrylic paint, I’ve already thought of a space theme.

I am guessing that one is hot and the other not. But which wires to the fan to connect to the hot black in the ceiling. There are three main wires, the red, the black and the white. A green ground is also included too but that seems to be a different problem. Two wires on the old fan where together. Which two and do they connect to the hot? I know this is an out of date situation, but for the time being it is all we can manage.

Any advice on fixing this problem would be appreciated.

Ceiling has ground, red, black, and green wires. Fan has black, white, and blue wires. Looking at ceiling wires, the green is connected to the ground-the fan had blue connected to black. Hooked blue/black fan to black ceiling and white fan to red ceiling, left green to ground. Light turned on but both switches on fan worked light and fan would not work-so what is the right combo here? Do not have instruction book anymore.

My ceiling fan has a switch for moving the blades in both clockwise and counterclockwise direction. I’ve been told that if I run the fan in reverse, it will force the warm air downward. But which is reverse? Clockwise or counterclockwise?

I know in the winter you can use your ceiling fan to improve efficiency.

I actually want to keep the fan, but remove the extension arm and have the fan flush against the ceiling. I don’t know where to start. Do i have to shut the power off? Am i going to electricute myself? do the blades have to come off too?

Ceiling fan blows air downward but at times airflow seems to stop even though the blades are still turning. The fan will start to have a wobble when it loses airflow

Hi – can anyone give me an estimate on how much it would cost to wire a new ceiling fan in my living room. There is no existing electrical outlet so he’d have to put a hole in the ceiling and run a new wire – thanks!

I have a vaulted ceiling, 24 ft. Someone told me that when a ceiling is high you should let the fan blow down even in the winter; is this true?

I have a remote ceiling fan and the lights dim on, but turn off normally. How do I get the light to stop dimming on?

Right now, in my room, I just have a plain lightbulb and cover. I want to put a ceiling fan in. How much cost and work would this be?

I’m thinking about installing a ceiling fan, but our ceilings have popcorn on them. Does that type of disturbance release enough asbestos to be concerned about?

I have a ceiling fan in my son’s bedroom. The fan works fine, however the light will not come on. I have tried replacing the bulb, to no avail. Sometimes, if I try to turn the light on, the light comes on for a second and goes back off right away. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

I have a ceiling fan that I am installing and the light works, but I can’t get the fan to work. From the ceiling there is a bare ground wire, a green wire, a white wire and a pinkish wire. The mounting bracket also has a green wire. From the fan is a blue, white, black and green wire. I have wired it like the instructions said, white to white, greens to greens and blue and black to the other wire which is the pinkish wire that I have. Am I doing this right and what do I do with the bare ground wire. I suck at electricity….help.

I know I have to clean them periodically, but is there anything I can do to cut down on the amount of dust building up ceiling fan blades? Any techniques you use that has been successful?

I have a ceiling fan that the pull switch broke on. the fan was in the house when we moved in and I have no Idea what brand it is or how to find the serial number to order a replacement part.

I have a part that went out on my ceiling fan and nobody locally handles the part.
Sure hate to have to purchase a new fan just because a .00 part went bad in mine.

Thanks.

What does it cost for electricity to run the average ceiling fan in a room per day and per month? Same question but for a CFL lighbulb? A laptop computer?

I bought a new ceiling fan and the mounting bracket for the ceiling fan has a ground wire. The old light in the room that I am removing had no ground wire coming from the outlet box. From the ceiling mounted outlet box, there is one black wire and three white wires. What do I need to do to properly ground this?

I have just taken off my old ceiling fan base, and in the junction box there are two white wires connected to a single white wire leading out from the motor, and there is a single red wire connected to a black and green wire from the motor. My new ceiling fan has 3 wires, a black, a white, and a black+white wire. How do I connect the new one to the old configuration?
The fan was really old, and it came with the house. It was about 10 – 15 years old.

My Nan has a wooden ceiling fan, and it’s filthy. I just wiped it with a dry cloth and all this horrible black soot fell on me. Their wood heater has left a layer of soot around the house, while being removed.

What’s the best way to tackle this situation?
Should I use spray and wipe is that a no no?
Is Pledge the same as Spray & Wipe?
I’ve never heard of it.

I replaced my ceiling fan/light it works from pull chains,works good now, but the outlet that runs on same line does not work now. i hooked up white to white and black to black and also a blue wire to the black and green to green. what went wrong?

The grounding wire that comes with the fan is just an uninsulated wire that would be okay if it were run through the wall but not okay in a swag use.Is it really necessary to ground it.
There is no electrical connection in the ceiling.
I will be attaching the fan to a bracket on the ceiling which is sturdily attached to the joists. My question is about grounding. The swag/cord is just for connecting the electrical outlet.
