Installing a ceiling fan where this is no existing wiring was made a bit easier due to a wall mounted light. |
|
|
After making the necessary hole I fed the wiring through a pvc pipe towards the electrical box located behind the lighting fixture |
|
|
In the room on the opposite side of the wall I made a small hole. This allowed me to reach into the ceiling and feed the wiring down into the wall. |
|
|
With power temporarily switched back on in the room I identified all of the wires in the box. There were 3 sets of wires. 1 supplying power, 1 for the fan and one for a wall switch. |
|
|
With the power back off again I made all of the connections and made sure everything was grounded. The wire with the black marking is hot coming from the wall switch. |
|
|
The light fixture itself was replaced with a new one. Since it's bracket was slightly different I ended up rotating the electrical box 90 degrees before connecting the the light. |
|
|
Here's the working light with the fan's wiring still hanging from the ceiling (notice those wires have been separated prior to this test). |
|
|
I added a support beam and electrical box for the fan. These come in kits and are pretty straight forward. Then the wiring was connected and the fan assembled/mounted. |
