How to install a ceiling fan in your home or office.
Posted by admin under Uncategorized
Installing a ceiling fan can be a dangerous job, and should be done by a professional, especially considering the risk of electrical shock. If you choose to do it yourself, make sure you follow the proper safety steps that listed below and any instructions included from the manufacturer.
1. Before removing or installing anything, locate your breaker box or fuse box. If you don’t know the exact breaker or fuse, we suggest that you turn off the main power to your entire home.
2. It is very important that you inform all the members of the family or put a note near the switch, so that no one accidentally turns the power back on, while you are working.
3. If you have a circuit tester and you are familiar with how it works, go ahead and confirm that there is no current flowing to the supply.
4. The next step is to remove the old fixture. You will need to get on a ladder and carefully unbolt the mountings of the old light fixture and disconnect the electrical wires. Get help if you can. Usually you will see three wires, a black wire (live wire), white wire (neutral), and a green wire or a bare wire (Ground wires).
5. After carefully disconnecting all the wires, go ahead and assemble the blades on the ceiling fan. Mount the brackets to the blades and screw the hardware onto the blades as per instructions provided in the manufacture’s booklet.
6. Go ahead and install the blades onto the fan motor. Make sure you install the blades tightly or the fan may wobble. After this, install the down rod which will help to hang the fan from the ceiling. Make sure that the rod is long enough, because if the fan is too close to the ceiling, it will prevent proper air flow from moving freely.
7. Before you get ready to attach the fan, you will need to push the wires through the down rod. The wires will probably be unbelievably long, so it’s better to tape the wires and then push them through the rod.
8. Make sure you have the proper remodeling box to support the ceiling fan. To attach the brackets lift the fan and attach. Turn the fan, so that the ball is sealed in place. You can hang the fan by using the working hook that is attached to the mounting bracket. This will make wiring a bit easier.
9. Attaching the wires properly is very important. Its color coded, green to green, white to white, and black to black. Screw the wires appropriately and look out for loose ends. Cover the wires with a screwed on wire nut.
10. Now you can push all the extra wiring inside the electrical box. Double check that the wiring is properly done
11. Put on the decorative cover and you are ready to turn the power on, so that you can test your work. If the fan starts making noises or starts wobbling, it may require you to use a balancing kit; look for it in the box. You may just need to retighten the blades.
12. If you should run in into any problems give AtlantaWallcovering & more a call at 678.231.0520 and we will either help you over the phone or for a small fee come out to you and have one of our professional install it for you.
13. Remember, Safety is paramount, and no amount of money you can save by doing a job yourself can amount to the injuries you can receive working with live wires. If you are unsure, give us a call, you’ll be sure that our expertise and experience will save your time, your safety, and your wallet.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice(herve leger dress).
