Thinking about giving your room a fresh look and better airflow?  Upgrading your ceiling fan is a great weekend project! Here’s your step-by-step guide to replacing a ceiling fan safely and efficiently:

🔌 1. Safety first! Head to your breaker box and cut the power to the room you’ll be working in. Double-check with a voltage tester to ensure there’s no electricity flowing.

🪜 2. Carefully remove the old fan. Unscrew the canopy, disconnect the wires (take a quick pic for reference!), and take down the old fan and mounting bracket.

🔩 3. Inspect your ceiling’s electrical box. Make sure it’s fan-rated to support the weight and movement of your new fan—this is crucial for safety and stability.

🔗 4. Attach the new mounting bracket securely to the electrical box. Assemble your new fan according to the manufacturer’s instructions, connecting the wires by matching color to color (usually black to black, white to white, green or bare for ground).

🛠️ 5. Attach the fan blades and any light fixtures. Secure everything tightly, then finish up by installing the canopy and any decorative elements.

💡 6. Restore power at the breaker, and give your new fan a test run! Make sure it’s running smoothly and wobble-free.
