While looking at the different lighting options consider adding a ceiling fan. Ceiling fans effectively circulate the air in a room to create a draft throughout the room. If you use air conditioning, a ceiling fan will help you save energy. Turning on the fan lets you raise the thermostat setting about 4\u00b0F and still stay cool.<br \/>\nReplacing an existing light fixture with a fan is a simple, one-day task. Before you start it is important to know that you can\u2019t hang a fan from the existing electrical box. You must either use a specially rated hanger and box to mount the fan between joists or, screw a fan-rated &#8220;pancake&#8221; box directly to a ceiling joist. Learn the steps to ceiling fan installation below.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shopping List<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Fan-rated 1\/2-inch-deep pancake box<\/li>\n<li>Medallion (made of rigid foam, not plaster, which may crack)<\/li>\n<li>Fan blades<\/li>\n<li>Fan motor<\/li>\n<li>Light-fixture housing<\/li>\n<li>Lamp shades<\/li>\n<li>Down rod, canopy, and ceiling plate (all included in fan kit)<\/li>\n<li>Remote-control transmitter with 9v battery<\/li>\n<li>Twist-on wire connectors<\/li>\n<li>Caulk or spackling compond (for filling nail holes in medallion)<\/li>\n<li>6D finish nails (for attaching medallion to ceiling)<\/li>\n<li>Latex paint or acrylic spray (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Turn off power at breaker<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter you turn off the power mark it with a DO NOT TURN BACK ON sign. Use circuit tester to make sure power is off to old fixture.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-1l.jpg?itok=n-YmbY6B&amp;timestamp=1469473934\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-1l.jpg?itok=n-YmbY6B&amp;timestamp=1469473934\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>2. Remove old fixture.<\/strong><br \/>\nUnscrew the nuts or screws holding the current fixture to the ceiling. Lower the fixture and disconnect the wires by twisting off the plastic connectors from the ends of the wires.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-2l.jpg?itok=0CCSq6eX&amp;timestamp=1469473918\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-2l.jpg?itok=0CCSq6eX&amp;timestamp=1469473918\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>3. Remove the box and cut a new whole.<\/strong><br \/>\nBefore starting this step get your vacuum cleaner ready. Remove the old electrical box from the ceiling. If it&#8217;s nailed to a joist, pry it free with a flat bar. If it&#8217;s suspended from a bar, you may have to take off a metal plate to unscrew the box; then pry the bar from the joists. While doing this have your assistant use the vacuum cleaner wand to suck up debris<br \/>\nHold a 1\/2-inch-thick pancake box against the ceiling, centered on a joist, and trace around it with a pencil. Cut along the line with a drywall saw. Clean with the vacuum after you saw.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-3l.jpg?itok=UQAXL-bA&amp;timestamp=1469473952\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-3l.jpg?itok=UQAXL-bA&amp;timestamp=1469473952\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>4. Install new, heavy-duty electrical box.<\/strong><br \/>\nFeed the electrical cable coming from the ceiling through the knockout hole in the pancake box. (Be sure there&#8217;s a cable connector attached to the knockout hole.)<br \/>\nSet the box into the hole cut through the ceiling and press it tight against the underside of the joist.Attach the box to the joist with the two 1 1\/2-inch No. 10 hex-head screws provided. Drive in the screws with a drill\/driver equipped with a 5\/16-inch nut-driver tip.<br \/>\nWrap the cable&#8217;s bare copper wire around the grounding screw inside the box. Allow the wire end to hang down.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-4l.jpg?itok=K2R5nY6h&amp;timestamp=1469473970\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>5. Attach new ceiling medallion<\/strong><br \/>\nApply a small bead of urethane-based adhesive to the back of the ceiling medallion.<br \/>\nPass the wires through the medallion. Center the medallion on the pancake box and press. Fasten it with four 6d finishing nails driven into the joist. Set the nail heads and fill with caulk or spackle.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-5l.jpg?itok=6072jY8z&amp;timestamp=1469473990\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-5l.jpg?itok=6072jY8z&amp;timestamp=1469473990\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>6. Mount the Ceiling Plate<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you want to paint medallion paint it before installing the ceiling paint. Hold the fan&#8217;s metal ceiling plate up to the pancake box and pull the wires through its center hole.<br \/>\nAttach the ceiling plate to the box with two 1 1\/2-inch-long 10-32 machine screws.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-6l.jpg?itok=YpME7Tpk&amp;timestamp=1469474009\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>7. Assemble the Fan<\/strong><br \/>\nWith the fan on the floor, feed the wires coming from the motor through the center of the canopy. Set the canopy on top of the motor. If pipe&#8217;s threads have a factory-applied coating. Don&#8217;t remove this coating; it keeps the pipe from unscrewing. Next, pass the wires through the hollow down-rod pipe.<br \/>\nThread the down-rod pipe into the top of the motor. Use a wrench to tighten the square-head locking screw on the side of the pipe.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-7l.jpg?itok=KierAiXv&amp;timestamp=1469474023\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>8. Connect the Wires<\/strong><br \/>\nHook one side of the canopy onto the ceiling plate.Using twist-on wire connectors, join the two green wires to the bare copper wire coming from the cable. (If your room is wired differently from the one shown here, consult a licensed electrician.)<br \/>\nJoin the two white wires. Then connect the two black wires. Swing the fan up into position against the medallion and secure it with the two canopy screws.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.thisoldhouse.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/content_box\/public\/migrated\/images\/ceiling-fan-8l.jpg?itok=EwkcjuaZ&amp;timestamp=1469474038\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>9. Add Blades and Lights<\/strong><br \/>\nAttach each fan blade to a blade iron (the bracket that holds the blade to the fan). Then, fasten the blade irons to the motor with the screws provided.\u00a0Plug the fan&#8217;s light-fixture housing into the wire hanging from the underside of the fan&#8217;s motor.<br \/>\nInstall the shades and lightbulbs. Screw the plastic holder for the remote control to the wall beside the wall switch.<br \/>\n<strong>10. Restore power.<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter you do\u00a0a final check to make sure things are secure, turn back on the power.
