How To Install A Ceiling Fan

Ceiling fans are both functional and decorative. They are particularly useful in the summer, since they can reduce energy usage while creating a cool breeze. They can also be used in the winter to gently pull heated air away from the ceiling where hot air tends to collect. This how-to provides general instructions for installing a ceiling fan and should give you a feel for what is involved. Remember to always consult the manufacturer's instructions before actual installation.
