Is your living room, bedroom or office space starting to feel uncomfortable with the rising Texas heat? Make your living space more comfortable and efficient by investing in a new ceiling fan installation. At Mr. Electric of Dallas, we provide quality commercial and residential electrical services for local North Texas customers, including ceiling fan installation, repair and replacement. Are you ready to install a fan in your room? Here are some tips on how to install a new fan with no existing fixture.
Safety First
The first step should always be turning off the electricity at the breaker box. Neglecting this crucial step could result in serious injury or electrical fires. Handling wires can be extremely dangerous, so eliminating any and all electrical currents flowing through the circuit is essential, so it must be done before any work can begin.
Choose the Best Location
Next, you will need to pick an appropriate location to mount your ceiling fan. Keep in mind that your fan will likely weigh between 10 and 50 pounds, so it will need to be secured to a joist. An improperly positioned ceiling fan could fall, which poses an unnecessary hazard.

Once you have chosen the perfect location for your new ceiling fan, it’s time to install the electrical box. This can be done by nailing the electrical box directly to the joist. In some circumstances, you will have two support joists, in which case you will need to purchase a brace and saddle. Then you will need to run electrical wiring to the electrical box using fish tape through the wall and ceiling.
Mount the Fan
When your wiring has been properly installed, you can mount the ceiling fan. Follow the instruction manual provided by the manufacturer of your specific model. When you have completed the steps, and the ceiling is fully mounted and wired, you can restore power and test the unit. If it isn’t working correctly, then contact a professional electrician who can troubleshoot the problem.
