according to my electrical handbook there can still be power running through those wires unless you cut it out of the circuit breaker by turning it off. Also just recommend testing the wires with an instrument to be sure. Can't go wrong with safety.
make sure your box is (ceiling) fan rated!! if you are replacing a ceiling light for a fan, you most likely do not have a fan rated box & will need to make the necessary corrections. if you are replacing a previous ceiling fan, then you most likely have a fan rated box. it's highly important as the fan could potentially fall down!! the reason why is that light fixtures (most of the time) do not need to be mounted on a stud or joist if they are relatively lightweight. If they're not on a stud or joist, then they will use a metal bracket to connect between 2 joists. they are not strong enough for fans. Ceiling fans are far heavier & the boxes are not strong or strongly supported enough to hold the weight without the ceiling collapsing. I don't mean to scare anyone, but it's a very, very important detail most people don't know about. But, otherwise, everything is else is pretty spot on.
There is a toggle switch on the motor of the fan. It is very easy to switch from winter to summer direction just by moving the switch. The directions show you how to do that. However, the fan is set at default position toggle for summertime.
Good question! You only need electrical permits if you are adding new circuits to the panel or adding new electrical runs to parts of your home that require junction boxes or splicing into existing circuitry. Just replacing a fixture or a fan is not something that should require a permit. Always best to check with your local building codes to be on the safe side👍
Missed the vanity ring step, but more importantly you missed the remote transmitter install. Inefficient way to stall, easier to install motor section without the blades attached. Poor video

This video was so helpful and made the job so much easier thank you.Nm

Much easier if you put the blades on after you install the motor and wire in
Great video but you forgot to mention putting the vanity ring on before you connect the wires
What size is the battery? I'd like to get an extra one in case the original wears out. Thanks.
My daughter and her boyfriend did this. Thank you!
That is great! So glad that the video helped!!
Thank You
Where did the transmitter segment go?
Great video otherwise, but i would have like to see her cover the off on and function at the switch.
How do you change the direction of the fan for seasons?
There is a toggle switch on the motor of the fan. It is very easy to switch from winter to summer direction just by moving the switch. The directions show you how to do that. However, the fan is set at default position toggle for summertime.
Does one need to have a permit to install this in to their home on their own?

You’re a buffoon this video was great
