Wire A Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan With A Light

Hang a ceiling fan in any room.


Having a ceiling fan in your home can help heat and cool a room. In the summertime, the blades on your Hampton Bay ceiling fan should turn counterclockwise to push the air straight down from the fan. In the wintertime, change the fan blades to turn clockwise to push the warm air from the ceiling to the floor. Hampton Bay ceiling fans are a proprietary brand of the Home Depot and made exclusively for the company. You can wire a Hampton Bay ceiling fan and light without prior electrical knowledge.


Instructions


1. Turn off the breaker inside the main electrical panel to disconnect the electricity to the ceiling fan location.


2. Assemble the Hampton Bay ceiling fan according to the manufacturer's instructions. Attach the ceiling fan mounting bracket to the ceiling electrical box using the screws provided with the ceiling fan's mounting hardware.








3. Hang the assembled Hampton Bay ceiling fan on the mounting bracket to allow you to wire the fan without holding it in place.


4. Twist a red wire connector onto the black house wire from the ceiling electrical box, connecting it to the black and blue wires from the Hampton Bay ceiling fan. The black wire supplies power to the ceiling fan motor, and the blue wire supplies power to the light.


5. Twist an orange wire connector onto the white house wire from the ceiling electrical box, connecting it to the white ceiling fan wire. Twist another connector onto the bare copper ground house wire, connecting it to the green ceiling fan ground wire.


6. Push all the fan wires into the ceiling electrical box. Attach the ceiling fan canopy to the hanging bracket with the four screws provided.


7. Turn the breaker on inside the main electrical panel.
