After unplugging the cord from the power receptacle, straighten out the cord completely on the ground and gently remove tangles and twists. Hold the cord in one hand and loosely loop (2 - 3 ft. diameter loops) the cord on that hand with the other hand. When looping, gently shake and untwist the cord on the ground. As you loop the cord, use care to avoid twisting the cord, which can damage the insulation, potentially causing electrical shock or fires later. (Avoid winding the cord between the hand and elbow of one arm, as this tends to twist the cord which can damage the insulation.) As you wind up the cord, check for damage to the insulation. Never use a damaged cord.

For a really long cord, use a 5-gallon bucket. Unwind the cord completely when in use to prevent overheating. When you're done, wind it back into the bucket, carefully removing any twists in the cord.

There are also extension cord reels that allow you to wind up very long cords using a hand crank.

Ceiling fans need to be properly anchored to an electric ceiling box that's designed to hold a heavy fixture. It will not only hold the wiring, but also support the full weight of the fan. If you're swapping a simple light fixture with a ceiling fan, the box will likely need to be replaced with one rated for a ceiling fan.

For an easier installation, consider a quick install ceiling fan, which installs in just three easy steps. The parts that require assembly just simply click into place.

Additionally, our How To Install a Light Fixture and How To Install a Dimmer Switch project guides will help lower your electric bills and help save you money by completing the installations yourself.

Preparation :

• Check the joists for any wiring or Plumbing pipes that might be in the way before installing your ceiling fan.

• Make sure the electrical box that holds the ceiling fan in place is fan-rated.

• Inventory all parts and instructions before starting your installation.

Safety :-

• Turn off electrical power to the fan at the electrical panel and use an appropriate testing device to ensure

no power is present at the fixture before you begin work. DO NOT RELY on a wall switch to protect you

from electrical shock.

• If you are adding a new fan where one didn't exist, consult with your local building code department to

determine if a permit is required.

In order to install a ceiling fan by yourself, you will need to first purchase the ceiling fan. You will then need to take a saw and make a hole in the ceiling for the fan. You will then need to take wire crimpers and attach the wires. You will then need to attach the fan to the wires, and use a screw driver or a drill to put the screws in the ceiling and hold the fan up.
