 bear 1000 here today we've got this ceiling fan it's a Harbor Breeze it's from Lowe's Builder series it's a 52 inch white finish ceiling fan it says functions beautifully well as it should it's brand new so what I want to do is have I've installed a bunch of these in the past a lot of it's real simple but for the do-it-yourself for this never-installed one I think you'd be alright just make sure your power is off and I'll show you what to do first we're gonna do this step-by-step together that way you know how to do it this is a flush mount it it's not gonna have the rod to bring it down lower it's a flush mount also known as a hugger to some people because hugs the ceiling let's get this opened up let's see what's in it and we'll go from there and I'll show you what to do okay guys this is just some specifications here shows you what to do it's like a lot of people when they have their ceiling fan on in the summer they have it blowing down on them and they just keep it that way excuse me that's not what a ceiling fan is supposed to do okay the ceiling fan like here it shows you airflow with normal rotation and then the cool weather airflow so what you're supposed to have it do is in the summertime you're supposed to have it running backwards yes that's right you're supposed to have it running backwards that sucks the hot air up it helps keep the hot air up above you and in the wintertime you should have it blowing down because heat rises so you know you want to keep that heat down below you know down to your level so that's what that's kind of explaining there but a lot of people don't know that but anyway so let me get my knife here let's get this opened up I should put my mic on hang on I'm gonna put my mic on okay I put my mic on the camera that way you're not getting a left and right bad sound effect going on there so let's open this up this is an LED so it does come with the light nothing but the best for the shop right 50 bucks so I just wanted something just to kind of help it'll help me both in the summer and in the winter it'll help keep my heat down here in the winter and heat up there in the summer which that's why I keep the attic open all winter long because it helps suck suck the air up out and what monkey thought I should do which I'm not going to do today because I want to get this up this is all your all your paperwork and everything here's your instructions these are pretty detailed instructions you should have everything you need here except for maybe a couple of tools so it should come with all the hardware and all that that you're going to need but anyway so what monkey suggested that I do she thinks I should paint these up since they're already white well see you got this this side too so I can have this side pointing down or this side which one have this side pointing down because it's all white in here anyway but what she she said I should do is paint black checkers in here make it look like a checkered flag on these we'll get we'll do that sometime but we're not going to do it today okay so always make sure you get all your parts they should have a part parts list in the in the instruction guide there which we'll get to in a minute this is your chains you know your pool chains for your light and fan this is one of your your your mounts okay so it should go something like that this is to hang your fan this hook here a lot of people don't know what it's for but it's to hang your fan while you're hooking your wires up we'll get to that so you've got these are for your for your fan blades to hold your fan blades on there's your wire nuts so you're going to need I mean for that for that part go ahead and open this up and we'll get to the working end of it and there it is okay there's your your light here's your fan these here are for your fan blades they will of course screw on here with these screws that are provided okay hopefully this is not gonna be I got a 52 inch I was gonna get a 54 and a lot well the doors over there so hopefully we'll have enough you know enough room in between there and then this will bolt this bolt's on like that see that's what that hook does it hooks up like that once you get this mounted it'll hook it hold it while you hook up your wires and then you'll you'll bolt it in so okay so there's that this is supposed to be an LED light check this out that's a pretty thick there in it wow so I'm done good way so there's the LED light there's that piece that'll go on here okay so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna get these instructions out excuse me and I'll get them opened up and I'll show you pretty much what they consist of hang it hang on a second okay now here's the instructions it's got your your safety of excuse me your safety information your package of contents okay now that's going to show you everything you get okay it shows you every little part and piece that comes with this kit okay so that's what I was telling about there it's all able everything what it's called there's your hardware which we saw those we saw the blade screws the fiber blade washer and the wire connectors okay so let's see we've got eight foot ceilings in here so we're gonna need 30 inches that way which I think I will have I'm not sure I got to check I think it'll miss that door if not I may have to move it over in the box then but and you need it you know you want seven feet tall which we're gonna have because eight foot ceilings I figure that's gonna drop down about a foot so here it shows you all your your initial your installation how you go about it I don't know if I'm gonna have to see there it's it's showing you about your j-hook how you can hook that and so it'll it'll hang there while you're hooking up your wire so you don't try to try and so you're not trying to hook the wires up and hold it at the same time so and it tells you know of course you'll need black tape and want you to tape them off which I remember they used to used to not tell you that if you had a wire connector you were good to go but I always tape mine off when I can anyhow sometimes in tight spots it's near impossible but so yeah it's pretty pretty detailed the thing about what it's not gonna it's not going to tell you is if you have to box an end you know if you have to build a two before box to have something for this to mount to so like I said I may have to move it over but we'll just have to see once I get the old light fixture taken down but yeah it's it's pretty detailed now if you get into that you know you you might need some carpentry skills so but there's that so what we're going to do is I'm gonna put you up here towards the ceiling and well I got to get my ladder and then we're going to we're going to take the old light fixture down and we're going to see if I have to if I have to move it over or what it's going to take because you can't just you can't just you know you're not going to be able to just screw this on to drywall you know what I mean you can't it's just not going to hold it you're going to want you know some kind of two before you're going to want to be into something and I'm not sure if that has that on that light or not I don't think so I just have to get up there and see and this is this is of course where your wires are going to come down through we'll get into all that so let me see what we got going on up there and again this is what's going to hold that big piece on there the cover so let me get that let me get my ladder get my light fixture down and then we'll commence to commencing okay so alright guys okay something else I wanted to show you there's three different ways you can wire this fan up you can have the fan and light controlled by pull chains you can have the fan controlled by pull chains light controlled by switch or get this open here you can also have it the fan and light controlled by two wall switches now I do have two wall switches over there but one goes up into the attic and I don't want to get up in there messing around too much there's too many spiders up there so I'm just going to hook it up like this because it's going to it's it's going to be a wall switch it's just going to work like the light that's there when I flip it on it's going to have power to the fan and then I'll just use the pull switches now you know like I say your application may maybe may differ so you may want to consult an electrician if you don't know how to run two wall switches but you can also have it this way you have to make sure you have the wiring there that is for that so just be mindful of that but I'm just going to hook mine up to where I'm just going to be running the pull switches and so as long as you know I flip the light on there then I can pull the switch to turn the light on I'm pull switch to turn the fan on whatever so just be mindful of that okay so all right I got my ladder ready and let's get up there and pull that old light down hopefully I don't get attacked by a spider again but we'll see okay guys I know there's a shadow here but I got the lights off here this is dead this power is dead so hopefully you can see okay we're going to go ahead and pull this down there should be a box in here that is what's going to screw these on to but I may have to move this over to the other side there's a rafter up there ceiling joist if you will that holds the box and this is and you're going to screw you're going to mount the check okay you're going to mount the the fan unit on to that box so I may have to get longer screws I may have to I know I'm going to get some washers yes there is a box here okay I don't see a ground wire I don't see a ground wire on this thing I'll tell you what these old these old balls man I forgot just how hot they get you know I'm used to running fluorescent or LEDs anymore and kind of makes you forget about how hot these things do get now the green wire I'm probably going to have to run up in there somewhere and I'm going to have to hook on to a ground okay so we got this down so we have to take this screw all the way out and I'm going to I've got some washers over there I'm going to put some washers on it and I'll show you what I did like I said I'm going to have to run a ground wire up through there I'm going to have to get up in the attic I don't want to but you'll get the idea of what's going on here as soon as I get this up here so hang tight let me get a couple washers and I'll show you what's next so there's my flat washer on there and it's going to go in these slotted holes like that and that is what it does just like that okay now I'm going to get up there I'm gonna put this on like I said I'm gonna have to run another wire up into the attic I'm not gonna bore you with that because all it is is a ground wire so let me get you back in now remember these wires here have to come down through this hole like this they come down through that big hole and you should be able to see usually you might have better lighting than me but there's a little right there where that box is that's where the screws go this is a plastic box so I'm not going to use any kind of power tools on this because I don't want to strip them out you can if you're careful but I don't want to teach you guys that and then go well you did it which I normally don't anyway so if it's plastic I'm not gonna I'm not using any kind of power tools on it so they can be fiddly just got to have some patience like I said I may have to move this box on to the other side of this too before and hopefully if I do that hopefully it'll cover this hole so I don't have to do any finish work on the ceiling move a mine all the way far over as I can get make sure that's up there because he's fans they got some weight to them remember they're just gonna be hanging so want them to be on something solid okay yeah that's very solid I just hope it's gonna clear the door now I'm gonna come get you and I'll show you what I did here okay now hopefully you guys can see it's okay it's a screw here and a screw here like I said I'm gonna have to run because there's another green wire onto the fan motor that this is gonna hook on to and then I'm gonna have to run another green one up in through there and up into the attic and all I'm gonna do is hook into what's the ground that's up in the attic is all I want to do with that so let me go ahead and get that run at least up in there and then I'll connect it later I don't need to show you that because I'm just gonna run it into another green wire that I know is up there why it's not grounded I don't know you would you would have thought it would have been code even in 1994 but we'll just have to see so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hang the motor from here right here but first I gotta run me a green wire up in there so it can be grounded hang tight guys and then I'll bring you over and I'll show you how this is all hooked up okay guys now we're gonna go ahead and hang this on that hook on this side here is a slotted hole on this side is around the round hole you want to want to hang it into the slotted hole it's like that and it's just gonna hang there now we're gonna hook our wires up it's also explanatory okay I'll show you here in a second how they go okay so we're gonna hook the white up to white because I have some extra ones here you may not have but they run the they run the fluorescent light that is right up above your guys's head that is not turned on make sure you have nothing showing and put your wire nut on okay the blue and the black one the black they're all able like the blue one's the light the black one's the motor which that's gonna be your your hot wires we're gonna wire them right in with the black wires because I want the light to come on I wanted to have power when I flip the switch on okay so that's why I'm like I said your application may be different if you're running two switches you're gonna run that blue wire to another switch but this one's just getting all switched on one and then I would use the chains for that also if you don't have a green ground wire it may be bare don't be alarmed if you got a bare wire up in there that'll be your ground that's what you hook the green up to okay and I'll bring you down here and I'll show you I need to clip this if they're too long for your wire nut to go on just clip a little bit of it off and put your wire on and I didn't get these right now I'm gonna show you exactly how they are hang on okay you guys probably didn't hear much of what I said I've got the mic turn around backwards but hopefully you get the idea this is what I've done greens go to greens like I said yours may be it may be just a bare wire might just be a copper wire that's your ground your black wires go together and that's where my lights gonna go if you're just using one switch this is where you're gonna hook it up your black wires and your blues gonna go in your black wires then your white as your neutral and it's just gonna go to white but like I said now I got two extras because they run that fluorescent light over there yours may just have three wires come out coming out of it so don't be alarmed if it's a different so now what we're gonna do this is how that hook hooks on looks on just like that now what we're gonna do is we're just gonna flip this right up in there and we're gonna put our nuts and washers they're nyloks which is a locking nut and they lock by nylon so let's go ahead and we'll put you back on a stand turn the mic around this time and we're just gonna go ahead and put this up in there tighten it down and then we'll see now these screws here is what covers your your your plate your your cover you know you'll see so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and put that on there I'm gonna put one blade on it just to see if it's gonna clear that door because I need 30 inches I'm looking at like 28 or 29 here so alright so hang tight guys and now what I'm gonna do I'm gonna put these wires up in here all the way up inside that box up through that hole and I'm just gonna get the holes lined up with the rubber grommets make sure nothing's in the way now I'm gonna put my flat washers on first and then the nut now these these nuts on this one are 10 millimeter yours may vary depending on the manufacturer what they use but so as you can see we really have used many tools you're gonna need a screwdriver Phillips and a straight actually you probably just get by with a straight because these are either or on the fan for fan blades okay now let me get a fan blade and let's make sure it's going to clear that door now to put this piece on see there's a slot back you know I'm sorry about the lighting but I have to have the power off okay see on one side there's a slot right there and a screw hole two screws are going to go on this side and two screws are going to go on the other side but they're if you can see their offset so what I did was I took two screws out opposite of each other diagonal and left two screws in but it left them loose that way I can put it up on there and lock it in then I'll put the other screws on so we're gonna go ahead and put that on now I won't zoom you in as far this time so you get an idea of what's going on this stuff here it's pretty self explanatory I did lose one of the screws it fell down here somewhere let's make sure you get that little washer back here that's your that's gonna be your hardest parts trying to get that washer back behind there that should be behind this one's behind so we're gonna just start this up on there start this one and turn it now I'm going to put the other screws in I'll have to find the other one and put it in later but and of course you got to find the hole this is the most tedious part here guys it's trying to find okay well I took the wrong two out all right no big deal let me speed this up for you all these screws they want you to what I usually do is do one fan at a time because it can get confusing also you want to put your fan blades together and I'll show you how to do that right now okay guys again very simple very easy depending what side you want this is the side I want pointing down so you're gonna put this like this now if you want the other side pointing down you'll put it like that but since I'm going with white it's gonna be like this so I'm gonna put these three in there like that and they give you these these blade what they're calling blade washers they're just a flat washer it's it's like a fiber and all you're gonna do is you put your washer on there you screw these on and you tighten them down don't get them super dino wapping tight but you do want them snug because you don't want them coming off I've seen that happen that's a that's a story from several years ago let me back out a little bit you get the idea still got to find my other little screw to hold my decorative plate on and the other screws up on top like like I said they tell you to take them all out at once but if you do them holes look really confusing this is a five blade fan so all right so what I've done is I've taken two out already because I had to see if it was going to fit okay and it does now I'll bring you up here and I'll show you the best I can putting this on I'll tell you what I'll do I'll go ahead and put one on and then I'll bring you up with the camera and I'll show you exactly what it looks like okay guys this is what I was talking about see that how many if you take them out they'll get confusing so what I did was like take one of the two closest together and then go to the next one take it out put your fan blade on and then do that all the way around there so I'm gonna start I'm gonna take these two out and put a fan blade on these two out and put a fan blade on that way it's a lot easier than going wait a minute you know because then you got you know 10 holes up there that look all the same I noticed on this one there's little there's little lock washers there and sometimes they'll stick to that okay so make sure when you take that screw out there make sure you get the lock net off or the lock washer off because it goes up inside there okay now I'm not gonna bore you with that because that's all I'm doing so the next thing you see we're gonna go ahead and put our light fixture on okay guys now we're going to put this piece on where the globe is going to screw on to here there's three holes here you can't get it wrong there's an indentation right here on this one and there's also one right up here now what you're going to want to do is just line your chains up and they're going to come out these little holes here on the side which looks like it's gonna be a pain in the ass but what isn't right so there's one other one's gonna come out this hole here and I'm gonna go ahead and put it's got these three little screws in here and there's three holes again I'll show you once I get them in here they're kind of a kind of a pain because you really can't see what's going on in there put them chains in after this snug them up pretty good but you can't go too tight because again they will you don't want that because remember that's gonna be holding your globe once you get the first one in it's not so bad because you can see the other ones when they get started one more and I'll show you how these screws go in now now we're going to run our chains down I don't know why it tells you to run your chains in first when you got all this room to do to do this after you can get different style of lightings you can buy these without the light and add your own light light fixture I've seen them you know with like four lights kind of like a chandelier coming down you can get you know they're pretty versatile on the different things you can get they had a switch on now but so I don't want to pull that yet but I'm gonna go ahead and bring you up here I'm gonna show you how them screws okay so there's one there there's one right back over there and there's one on the other side they're spaced evenly what they do is they come in through these holes here one two one over here on the other side that's three and this is that divot I was talking about so you can get them right and again your your chains they just you just go through that hole and out and then you hook the other ones on now the light bulb just screws in and the lampshade just sticks on and screws in with these little divots here if you can see them when there's three of them and that's all that holds that lampshade on so I'm gonna put you on the stand I'm gonna screw the light in and then we'll we'll put the shade on again this is an LED bulb but you can go up to 60 watts with a regular bulb now this you just line them divots up with your light here and you give it a turn that's all holds that on there I don't like that but it is what it is right so now I'll show you how to put these little chains on here okay now we're gonna put our chains on just got one of these little little doohickeys here you'll see it's self-explanatory and you just slide that in there there it is just like that I'm gonna put the other one on and we want to try this puppy out and see how well it works okay guys so we know the light works because it was on when we turned or screwed the ball man so I think this is a light yes that's the light this should be the fan to see which way it's going I'm gonna want it to suck the air up so I'm gonna want it going this way okay and then in the winter time I'll have it blowing counterclockwise but I'm gonna be wanting wanting it to run this way so let's see and it is okay awesome this should be medium and that's a love and I'm telling you what I can feel a difference man awesome let's shut this light out or shut shut this fan off I'm gonna open the door and make sure and then I'll show you that switch I'll show you how to switch it to go like for summer and winter like I said a lot of people have it backwards they think they should have it blowing down on you but that's not how these things are supposed to work okay so I'm gonna go ahead and stop this open the door here's the door I'm just gonna turn it with my hand I think it's gonna work great perfect beautiful alright now I'll show you that switch shut the fan off so we don't chop our heads off and switch is right there now if you flip it down you'll see it'll go the other way okay but that's not the way I want it that's gonna be for winter time that's gonna blow whatever heats coming up here it's gonna blow it back down on me so I'm gonna flip it back up there and I'm gonna leave it on low there's high medium and low and plus it gives more light a lot more light than that little bulb did and I mean I can really feel it sucking that air up from there so what I can also do is open the cat door she never uses it so I can open the cat door up if I want and I can oh I can feel cold air coming through there yeah so what it'll do is it'll it'll suck the cold air in and the hot air up and out through there so alright let me get you on the stand I'll let you know what I think about it okay guys so there you go that's um it's easier than what it looks the instructions make it look a little harder but it's self explanatory don't lose screws like I did I found the washer to that one screw but I didn't find a I didn't find a screw yet yes I did I just found ah alright that holds that white cover on so I found it and I've got the washer for it now they did give me one extra screw and washer lock washer for the blade and they gave me one extra fiber it's just a flat washer blade washer they call it and screw for the blade that goes on to the mount but they don't give you an extra one for anything else and that's this one I found it and I did find the the washer a little bit ago so it's real easy like I said I I don't usually have to use the instructions because I know the different wiring patterns once you do a couple of these are all pretty much the same but I wanted to show you you know go ahead and do it step by step like they say we got lucky we didn't have to move anything got plenty of room I don't like that it's not in the middle in the center of the garage I don't know why they would have ever put that light like they did I would have put it in dead center but apparently there was a reason for it I don't know but I wouldn't have done it that way because that bothers me but I'm telling you what I got it on low right now I can feel the cold air like coming up my back so it is sucking the heat up and out the out the into the attic which it's vented you know the roof's vented so it's got a ridge vent on the roof so yeah I can and that's on low so and I can tell difference with the light over in that area so yeah we're good to go monkey's messaging me so we're good to go thanks for watching guys if you have any questions on this leave them in the comment and I'll get back you as soon as I can but I don't think you'll have any issue if you're any kind of if you've hung any kind of light before or anything like that if you're pretty handy around the house you can do this it's real simple especially once you do one you know now if you're putting it on a slanted ceiling you're not going to you can't use that hugger you'll have to get a bar you know extension bar that comes down and brings your fan down to whatever you know however your pitch or ceiling is but that's just for a flat ceiling that's all we needed so that's what I got it was out 49 bucks it ended up being $52 I ordered it online through lows and I was like well when's it going to be here next thing I know I got an email saying it was ready so we had to go pick it up but it's only a couple miles up the road so that's good so we just went over and got it and picked it up it was already paid for they had it waiting for so yeah like I said it was $49 plus tax ended up being around $52 good enough for you know what I need in here so and I like I said I can I can feel it I've got the I've got the garage door open a little bit over there so I can feel it pretty good now our next our next one we're going to take the the the light that's over the over the desk we're going to put it here we want to take these down we're going to put that light over here and then this light here I've got two more shop lights I was going to put one in the center and then monkey was like I said or I can put a fan here she was like yeah just go ahead and get your fan so I'm going to put a different shop light here and this shop light here that doesn't match the other ones is going to go over there where the little LED one is so anyway stay tuned for that I'll probably do that while I'm vlogging or something so anyway I got to get back with monkey here see what's happening and we'll chat it you guys soon thanks for watching remember any questions leave them comments below I'll get back to you as soon as humanly possible I'll help you out any way I can so that being said shea bearer the myth man legend gone for now and y'all enjoy the rest of your week we'll see soon bye bye
