If the wiring system in your house is that old, then there is nothing that you can do that is not going to cost you more money than what you paid for the fan. Just wrap the wire up and push it to the back of the ceiling box and enjoy your new fan.
Typically, in the US, the blue wire of a ceiling fan is for the light kit, the red wire is for the fan motor's high speed, the green wire is for the ground, and the white wire is for the neutral connection. You would connect the blue wire to the black wire of the ceiling, the red wire to the red wire of the ceiling (if there is one), the green wire to the bare copper wire (ground), and the white wire to the white wire.
Assuming the ceiling fan also has lights then that is what the second lead is for. You can tie the black & blue together and attach them to black lead in the lighting box. The light and fan will come on together when you flip the light switch and you have to use the pull chain on it for control. ALWAYS connect the green ground wire to the house wiring ground. This is a SERIOUS safety and fire hazard issue if you do not.
Connect it to a Ground wire.For personal safety reasons and to conform to your local Wiring Code or Regulations, if a fan unit has a Ground connection terminal you must connect it to a Ground wire.If there is no Ground wire at the mounting point for the fan then you must install a cable with a Ground wire. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS
Black wire goes to (line) which is 110v comming in to ceiling box from light switch. It will connect to either black or red, which ever they ran. White is neutral and connects to white in box. Blue is for the light kit if you are using one. You may also connect it to the black if you just use the chain to turn on light.
Almost all ceiling fans have 4 wires and one is the ground wire. The wires have a different colours: green, white, black and last being one of three colours (white/black striped, red or blue). The green wire serves as the ground for the whole system. The other wires are the lead wires for different areas such as: The light kit and ceiling fan motor use the white wire as the neutral lead, the fan motor uses the black wire for the hot lead; the light kits use the white/black or red/blue striped wire for the hot lead.

To wire a circuit for a ceiling fan installation, first turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Then, connect the fan's black wire to the black wire in the ceiling, the white wire to the white wire, and the green or bare wire to the ground wire. Secure the connections with wire nuts and install the fan according to the manufacturer's instructions. Finally, turn the power back on and test the fan to ensure it is working properly.
If there is no ground wire for a ceiling fan installation, you should consult a licensed electrician to determine the best course of action to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the fan.
No, you can feed it with a 2 wire Romex + ground. It depends on what is mounted on the ceiling. If it is just a light all you need is 2 wire + ground Romex. However if it is a fan/light and you want to control each one independant of the other you will need to use 3 wire Romex + ground. This is of course if you have 2 seperate switches. You would then connect the red wire to the blue light wire and the black wire to the black fan wire. If you use 2 wire Romex just connect the blue and black fan/light wire to the black wire in the ceiling box.
To wire a ceiling fan with a light switch, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Install the ceiling fan bracket to the ceiling. Connect the fan wires to the corresponding wires in the ceiling box (usually black to black, white to white, and green to ground). Connect the light kit wires to the corresponding wires in the ceiling box (usually blue to black and white to white). Install the fan blades and light kit. Install the light switch and connect the wires (usually black to black, white to white, and ground to ground). Turn the power back on and test the fan and light switch. For a visual guide, refer to the diagram below: Diagram of ceiling fan wiring with light switch
To properly wire a ceiling fan with a light switch for safe and efficient operation, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Install a ceiling fan-rated electrical box and mount the fan. Connect the fan's green grounding wire to the grounding screw in the electrical box. Connect the white neutral wire from the fan to the white neutral wire in the ceiling. Connect the black hot wire from the fan to the black hot wire in the ceiling. Connect the blue wire (for the light) from the fan to the black hot wire in the ceiling. Secure all connections with wire nuts and electrical tape. Install the fan blades and light kit. Turn the power back on and test the fan and light switch for proper operation. By following these steps, you can ensure that your ceiling fan is wired correctly and operates safely and efficiently.
To wire a ceiling fan properly, first turn off the power to the fan at the circuit breaker. Then, follow the manufacturer's instructions for connecting the wires from the fan to the corresponding wires in the ceiling. Typically, this involves connecting the fan's black wire to the ceiling's black wire, the white wire to the white wire, and the green or bare wire to the ground wire. Use wire nuts to secure the connections and ensure they are tight. Finally, secure the fan to the ceiling according to the manufacturer's instructions.
If your ceiling fan does not have a ground wire, you can still install it by connecting the fan's green wire to the mounting bracket. This will help provide some level of grounding for the fan. However, it is recommended to consult a professional electrician to ensure proper installation and safety.
This sounds like a ceiling fan that also has a light attached to it. The black and white wires are used for the incoming supply voltage. The green is the ground wire. The blue wire is most likely the wire that goes to the lamp portion of the ceiling fan. The black and blue wires are separated from each other in the fixture so that the fan motor and the light can be independently switched. In these types of installations a three wire cable is strung from the fan switch box to the fixture box.For independent switching, the junction box should be a two gang box. From the power source in the switch box, the white wires all connect together. The incoming black connects to the top of the two switches in the two gang box. Bottom of the first switch to the black in the three wire cable, Bottom of the second switch to the red wire of the three wire cable.At the fixture junction box, incoming white wire to the fan white wire. Incoming black wire to the fan black wire and incoming red wire to the fan blue wire. If wired this way the light and fan motor can be individually switched on and off.If there is only one switch box, at the fan junction point connect the black and blue wires together to the incoming black wire. White to white wires together and green wire to the ceiling junction boxes ground terminal. In this configuration the switch will turn on both the fan and light at the same time.
Typically, in the US, the blue wire of a ceiling fan is for the light kit, the red wire is for the fan motor's high speed, the green wire is for the ground, and the white wire is for the neutral connection. You would connect the blue wire to the black wire of the ceiling, the red wire to the red wire of the ceiling (if there is one), the green wire to the bare copper wire (ground), and the white wire to the white wire.
To properly wire a ceiling fan light switch for safe and efficient operation, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the ceiling fan at the circuit breaker. Remove the existing light switch cover and switch from the wall. Identify the wires - typically, there will be a black (hot) wire, a white (neutral) wire, and a green or bare copper (ground) wire. Connect the black wire from the ceiling fan to the black wire from the switch using wire nuts. Connect the white wire from the ceiling fan to the white wire from the switch using wire nuts. Connect the green or bare copper wire from the ceiling fan to the ground wire from the switch using wire nuts. Secure the wires with electrical tape and carefully tuck them back into the wall box. Install the new light switch and cover. Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker and test the ceiling fan light switch to ensure it is working properly. By following these steps, you can wire a ceiling fan light switch safely and efficiently.
The standard ceiling fan wiring colors are black, white, and green. The black wire is for the fan motor, the white wire is for the neutral connection, and the green wire is for the ground connection.
