“How to Replace a Ceiling Fan”
Step 1: Replace the ceiling fan
Step 2: You’re done!
Bingo. Talk about lack of steps
"next you remove the fan". yeah that's what the video was supposed to show.
l ryu ya follow the steps in reverse
sloppy lowes
Lmao facts🤣🤣
Followed these instructions to the letter and my fan did not turn on... oh right, I should probably turn the breaker back on! On the serious, tho, great instructions, helped me DIY the master bedroom fan with minimal fuss, thank you!
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Ceiling fans really help the flow of air within the room
Nice Job
This was like sitting in calculus class, where the instructor would skip steps with a casual "from here it is intuitively obvious." This is little help to a rookie doing it for the first time . . . next time spend the time to explain the entire procedure. Too much detail is far better than not enough.
Cody Phinney I appreciate the fact that you went through the effort to put the video together. I just needed a bit more detail on how.
Thanks for the information
😂 I’m a female that have the slightest idea 💡 of what I’ll be doing, so I take it I need to find another video.
For more detail look for the specific model you are going to install. This is intentionally general to match the process for most fans.
@@TheeHistoryTeacherexactly…I wanted an overview to see if it was even something I wanted to attempt! Good info!
The moment you realize what the reverse switch was used for .
Ador Lopez 😂 I’m actually mind blown 🤣 that’s what it was for haha I thought it just was based on preference which way you want it to spin or one moves the air less then the other one who would have known lol
I thought the reverse is what changed the speed
I just found out a few months ago. Lmao
SlipdragonX YT well I knew cause I'm a vintage fan collector
@@wbaba34 oh wow. That's awesome
Love to watch these videos. They really help.
Rita Revell @ o
Thank you Lowes!
“Remove the old fan” …. Wow why didn’t I think of that! 😏
I loved my 3 Harbor Breeze fans! The Paradiso, Armitage, and My brand new Barnstaple Bay!!!
They make it look so easy..
love it
That ceiling fan is so cool
How do you connect the receiver
It's amazing👍😇🙂
at 'hit the power' dont forget breaker ;)
Matt Harrison can't be too safe with electricity!
@@lowes can you make the barstaple bay
You forgot to say turn back on the breaker
How do you open a light switch to replace a 9 volt battery for back up power
Genius
Eh I’m just gonna get my dad to do this, he knows more than I do
Haha
Love that you have a woman doing the installation! Go Loews!
good video
42 in fan is better for 75 sq foot and 29 inch fan only is good in a small closet in my opinion
best video ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love

👍😍😄😃me gusta
Cool
Wait, what do you do with the extra green wire hanging off of the mounting bracket? You skipped that part!
Ese ventilador de techo yo lo tengo pero el color es diferente
1:45 that is the box that i have used for my celing fan
How do you reverse the rotation?
Hi, A1 Face. There's usually a switch on the side of the fan to reverse the rotation. Thanks for watching.
What do I do about the red wire coming from the ceiling? Do I hook it to the fan also
That should be for lighting if your fan has no light then cap it off with a wire nut and good to go 👍🏼
When Home Depot watches the replacement step............. lmao
I just realized, Home Depot removes a Lowe's fan and Lowes got revenge and replaced a Home Depot fan.
Old fan: seems to be a Hampton bay quick connect. New fan: harbor breeze crosswinds
Old fan: Hampton Bay Redington IV
Old Fan: Hampton Bay Redington II New Fan: Harbor Breeze Crosswinds
In no way does this show you any steps for removal. Lol..
2:35
Forgot the part where they turn on the breaker
My dad is a engineer installer
This was actually short sweet and simple…everyone stressing the removal part but you could always just work backwards from this video duuuuh same screw that secured the fan will unsecure the fan….Sam ball/bracket that secured the fan will unsecure the fan….just takes a couple more brain cells… and if your still on “how to locate the circuit” just hire a professional 🤣 better safe then sorry when playing with power
I’m an electrican and id be cussing up a storm. How tf y’all stay calm 🤣
what difference it make if i install indoor fan outside on covered porch ?
well if you have an existing fan out there it should be a direct swap.
Itll be fine. Ive had my indoor fan outside for 9years now. Time to replace it
indoor fan blades can warp over time, (as mine have) but many brands will sell replacement blades that are indoor/outdoor so you can replace the blade itself rather than the entire assembly. Personally, I'm swapping my 3 indoor sets for outdoor ones that are on my covered porch because birds/spiders/insects get inside the non-sealed light area very easily and make a huge mess all the time.
If you live in a hot and humid (especially!) climate, you want plastic blades! Other types will generally warp and/or mildew in the humidity!
ceiling fan settings
That is a 52” Harbor breeze Crosswinds
I tried DIY with my replacement fan. Then when I switched breaker on and turned on fan, acrid blue-grey smoke filled the room. Not sure what to do...
Turn it back off
👍👍👍👍👍
Harbor breeze crosswinds ii
good
A What If? What if the old ceiling fan does not have a light and the new ceiling fan does, will you need to add a wire to the light? Trying to plan ahead by asking you experts first.
You may be able to just add a light kit to the old one.
You posted this video when I was not even born
your habor breeze ceiling fan has remote
The old ceiling fan is Hampton Bay Redington IV.
and that matters, why? am i missing something?
@@dakotamckinnon5511 We like Ceiling fans so we know the name.
old fan: hb redington new fan: harbor breeze crosswinds
Forget to turn the breaker back on lol
are u serious its very obvious to turn it on. only stupid people don't turn on, and plus why would the fan be on if they didn't
Oh ya on my fan has a switch thanks
Harbor Breeze Crosswinds
so basically its gonna run me like $300 to get an electrician to do it for me got it
Yea
So, I Don't have to turn the surcit box on RIGHT??? LOL 😂😂😂 I'm just asking 😅
Can you do a video of installing a "52 Harbor Breeze Springfield" Ceiling Fan Please! With a cherry on top?
Took the 5 fan blades off,
My ? Is NOW WHAT?
TRIED TO SPIN IT BUT ITS STUCK.
? HOW DO YOU YANK OFF THE BASE HIDING THE WORES?
does anyone know what the name of this music is?
Ayden Rice yes. I recognized the song. It is called Utopian Merry-Go-Round by a band called Boris And The Group-Droolers.
@@californiadreaming9216 I looked that up and can't find anything. Btw I'm sorry for the late reply lol, ig I never saw the reply.
I know installs depend on a lot of factors, but is replacing a fan really this easy? I need to replace 2 in my home. I can't really afford to pay someone. But don't want to cause a short and set my house on fire either.
A lot depends on the age of your home. The older it is (like pre-1980) the more likely you'll encounter an unpleasant surprise. If the outlets in your house are 3-prong, everything is probably up to code. If not, you might need to do some kind of adaptation. Both Lowes and Home Depot offer classes, and I also recommend the seejanedrill channel here on TH-cam.
What do you do if a box breaks
David G if electrical box breaks do the following:
1 Cry.
2 Console yourself with high-octane beer.
3 Curse out the dyslexic overpaid 1st year engineering student who designed the electrical box.
4 Curse out all Liberals (unrelated but ALWAYS makes ya feel better).
5 Contemplate returning to post-secondary school so that you can engineer a better electrical box.
6 Fantasize about how, at a meeting with your peers, you will make the 1st year engineering student hang his head in shame while you verbally tear apart his work.
7 Drink more high-octane beer.
8 Eat some unhealthy food.
9 Enjoy a 3-hour power snooze.
10 Repeat as necessary until you feel better.
Hope that helps. Good luck.
Replace...
I don't want my ceiling fan because I have megalophobia.
so how the Fudge Do I remove a broken fan . the stupid rod crap thing !
Should I get a new fan if my old fan makes noise
first find out the source of the noiseand if you cant, then a new fan is recommened
yeah could just be a lose screw. vibrations back them out so just make sure they are tight
If your kids have ever let a balloon loose & its gotten stuck then yeah lol
If the Fan blades are only 20 inches from the wall instead of 30 inches, what happens?
It's all about proper airflow, Ty. It'll just be less effective at moving air throughout the room.
Ty Budd '
That's how tornados start...
The same thing that happens when you cross the streams.
...was that chris rock?
3:40
Is that how bog you are. Big boy
How to remove the fan
Old fan: 52” Hampton bay Redington iii New fan:52” Harbor breeze Crosswinds
Danu Chandriguez how do you know ? that they have names?
Because the box says
@@danu2004 the crosswinds is NOT a ii. It is a crosswinds 1st generation because it has pull chains. Crosswinds ii only has a remote while the crosswinds i has pull chains + remote. But other than that they are basically the same thing.
@@danu2004 Crosswinds i was sold from late 2009 to mid 2015 while the crosswinds ii was sold from mid 2015 to early 2019. This video was made in 2014 so, it is definitely a crosswinds i.
@@TheSusGuyO_O Yeah now IK

I don't have anybody to do this for me for free and I am too young to do this myself. We dont have the money for a professional... where can we find someone to do it for free? My moms friend was supposed to do it yesterday but decided not to step up because I was in my room??? Hes not coming back???
if you threw the old fan out im gonna cry
YYou skipped steps mam. Just dont pull light off like you did. Maybe take blades off .
0:28 Important Thing Is Two Make Sure The Blades Are 30 Inch From The Wall And 7 Feet Above The Floor.!
0:36 Small Rooms That Are 75 Square Feet Get A 29-36-in Fan.
0:43 Medium Rooms That Are 76-144 Square Feet Go With A 36-42-in Fan.
0:51 Large Rooms With 144-225 Square Feet Try A 44-48-in Fan.
0:57 And Larger Rooms With 225-400 Square Feet Use A 50-52-in Fan Or Larger.
Fan "size" should be a separate video, and really a matter of opinion. I came here for install, which begin at the 1:00 mark. Instructions good otherwise.
new fan i would rate it 3.5 out of 5 the old one 4 out of 5
Uhh why will my fan not work your frind. You didn’t put the power back on
the dining room in my house is 75 feet.
Haha. She said rod.
You DID NOT say fans makes dumb

🤗🤗🤗🤔🤗🤔😝😝😲😲😲😲
My room is 144-225 in my new house. p.s I moved to a new house.
This video purposefully tries to worry you about a bunch of stuff you don't need to worry about when you're REPLACING a ceiling fan. That way you call the Lowe's team and they make their bread. Watch a different vid.
That sucks, thought it would be simple
I have these fans
Hate them
Why tf am I watching this?!?!?
False. That chick never flipped the breaker switch back on. It wouldn't have worked!!
3:15, Dwayne Johnson cameo.
can you say totally unsafe install?
non contact Tester kills people that don't test on,a known,circuit.
separate grounds,for feed wire and box
no where did they show the ball has a keyway..
ladder was probably aluminum lol
Aaw
Why did you replace the old fan the old fan is better and the new fan is cheap
The. old Fan Could Blow more breeze
