Installing a ceiling fan with light can be a great way to improve the comfort and style of your home. However, it is important to ensure that the fan is installed correctly in order to avoid any safety hazards. This diagram will provide you with the necessary steps to wire a ceiling fan with light.

Materials You Will Need:

Ceiling fan with light
Electrical wire
Wire strippers
Electrical tape
Drill
Screwdriver
Ceiling fan mounting bracket
Light bulbs

Step 1: Turn off the power to the room where you will be installing the fan.

This is a very important safety precaution. You should always turn off the power before working on any electrical wiring.

Step 2: Remove the old ceiling fan (if there is one).

If there is an existing ceiling fan, you will need to remove it before you can install the new one. To do this, simply unscrew the mounting bracket and disconnect the electrical wires.

Step 3: Install the ceiling fan mounting bracket.

The ceiling fan mounting bracket is what will support the weight of the fan. It is important to choose a mounting bracket that is rated for the weight of your fan.

To install the mounting bracket, simply drill four holes into the ceiling and insert the included screws. Make sure that the mounting bracket is securely fastened.

Step 4: Connect the electrical wires.

Once the mounting bracket is installed, you will need to connect the electrical wires. The electrical wires from the ceiling will need to be connected to the electrical wires from the fan.

To do this, simply strip the ends of the wires and twist them together. Then, wrap the connection with electrical tape.

Step 5: Install the ceiling fan.

Once the electrical wires are connected, you can install the ceiling fan. To do this, simply lift the fan up onto the mounting bracket and secure it with the included screws.

Step 6: Install the light bulbs.

Once the fan is installed, you can install the light bulbs. To do this, simply screw the light bulbs into the sockets.

Step 7: Turn on the power to the room.

Once the light bulbs are installed, you can turn on the power to the room. The ceiling fan should now be working.
