Installing a ceiling fan in a new home can be easy.
Installing a remote control ceiling fan in a new home can be somewhat more straightforward than installing it into an older home. In a new home, no existing fixtures need to be removed before you can install your ceiling fan. The chance that the electrical junction box in the ceiling is rated for a ceiling fan is much greater than in an older home, because you have the opportunity to request that your builder install these junction boxes during construction.
Instructions
1. Turn off the breaker at your main electrical panel that supplies electricity to the circuit for your remote control ceiling fan.
2. Assemble your ceiling fan per the manufacturer's instructions. Install the mounting bracket to the ceiling fan junction box. The mounting bracket will install to the junction box with two screws provided with the ceiling fan's mounting hardware.
3. Identify the wiring inside the ceiling fan junction box and on the ceiling fan remote receiver. The wires inside of the junction box consist of a black, a white and a bare copper wire that supply electrical power to your ceiling fan. The ceiling fan remote receiver has two sets of wires attached to it, one set for the power supply side of the remote receiver and one set for the ceiling fan side. The set for the power supply side consists of a black and white wire, and the set for the ceiling fan side consists of a black, white and a wire labeled for the light kit.
4. Connect the remote receiver to the power supply wires. Twist an orange wire nut clockwise onto the black wire from the junction box and the black wire from the power supply side of the receiver, connecting them together. Twist an orange wire nut onto the white wire from the junction box and the white wire from the power supply side of the remote in the same manner.
5. Connect the bare copper wire to the green ground screw on the ceiling fan mounting breaker and tighten the screw.
6. Connect the ceiling fan to the remote receiver. Your ceiling fan wiring consists of a black, white and a wire labeled for the light kit. Connect the black wire from the ceiling fan to the black wire on the ceiling fan side of the remote by twisting an orange wire nut onto both wires. Connect the white wires from the fan and remote receiver as well as the wires labeled light kit from the fan and receiver together by twisting orange wire nuts onto both sets of wires.
7. Push all wires and the ceiling fan remote control receiver into the ceiling fan junction box. Mount the ceiling fan to the mounting bracket with the screw provided with the ceiling fan mounting hardware.
8. Turn on the breaker at your main electrical panel that supplies electricity to the circuit for your remote control ceiling fan.
