Sam R asked:


In installing my new ceiling fan, I hooked the black and the blue wires from the fan to the black wire from the ceiling box. I then hooked the white to white, and mounted the fan to the ceiling. I now have operating lights, but no usage of my fan? In a previous attempt, I hooked the black to black, white to white, and blue to red and got the opposite result: The fan worked but not the light…How do I get the light and the fan to work?

I live on the first floor in a 2 story apartment building.
In my toilet, in the ceiling, there is a fan. It has a button that turns it on and off. I’d say that 80% of all bathrooms/toilets in the world have these fans. My question is… where do they lead?? Does the air go up a chimney and out through the roof, or what?

Thanks!

P asked:


I lost the instructions to my ceiling fan. I cannot remember what position the switch should be in to cool the room instead of pushing warm air down. Yes, you would think I could feel the difference, but I can’t. Is there a way of telling other than by feeling the air?

fan hater asked:


I have ceiling fans and other fixtures I wish to remove and I don’t want to replace them. What do I do with the wires once the fan or other fixture is disconnected and how do I deal with the ceiling or wall hole?

I want to install a ceiling fan where I currently have a light. It would be extremely difficult to get to that light from the attic to see if it is braced for a ceiling fan. If I have to I will cut the drywall around the box to see and use a cover but before I do I thought I would ask and see if anyone knew a way to tell without going into the attic or cutting the drywall.

We had a ceiling fan in our dining room that wasnt even working, and when it did would go off balance so bad that we thought it would fall. We want to switch it with a chandelier. So we just want to know what is the easiest way to switch them and is there any information that we should know before doing so? Please help! Thanks!

I have a ceiling fan with light that I control from wall swtch. Does someone know of the same thing, but with timer too, so I don’t leave it (fan)on all night?

My ceiling fan used to have three speeds, but only two seem to be working now. There is no difference between the medium and the high speed. It’s a Hunter fan and it’s 4 years old.

Lisa asked:


OK–installing a new ceiling fan. My husband took off the old fan (who knows how old really). There were three wires coming from the ceiling. The three wires are black, white and copper. The ceiling fan has 4 wires coming out of it. Black, blue, white and green. Green’s ground, right? Which wires are which and where do they go? All the expert advice and guidance is much appreciated. If you ask a question, I’ll add more details, so please check back quickly to give me extra advice! THANKS!

Merisa asked:


I have a very high vaulted ceiling. The ceiling is like that in the living room and kitchen…which is basically one big room. In the kitchen there is a ceiling fan. With it being winter in here Nebraska I want to keep as much heat in the house as possible! I know heat rises, so should I have my ceiling fan going clockwise or counter clock wise? Or should I leave it off?? Please help!
