This is not only the BEST tutorial for installing a fan, it is also just an incredibly entertaining video and I am MAD jealous of the coolest fan on the planet.
I have a Harbor Breeze fan that we installed in 2011. In 2016 we moved out of that house and I took said fan with me to the house where I live now. Nine years and still running great!
@@firstassemblyofgodmartinsv7665 oh, I have fans in my collection that have been going WAY longer. I own an Emerson Roundnose ceiling fan that will be celebrating its 70th birthday this year, and it still runs without any problem.
Hello, I apologize for the unprofessional demeanor in this video. I made this when I had like 200 subscribers, and didn't expect anyone to actually watch it. I am aware the music is a bit loud and there are a few things I would do differently if I were to make the video again. Instead of leaving a dislike, consider leaving some constructive criticism. If you decide to stick around, you'll find mostly Jeep content unless you have any ideas for me. I might make more electrical tutorials, it depends who wants what. I appreciate all the views and I hope an equal amount of ceiling fans have been installed worldwide. ALSO - If you get any MID ROLL ADS on this video, please leave a comment to let me know! I hate advertisements interrupting anything I'm doing, especially when I'm trying to learn. I have intentionally disabled mid-roll ads on every single one of my videos, but I've heard YT is just putting them on anyway. If you do get a mid roll ad, that's 100% on YT, not me, and there isn't anything I can do about it. We've hit 1,000,000 views, which is an incomprehensible milestone that I thank you all for!
Good job, thanks!However you have to get over the weird screws. They're called Robertson screws and they are the best on the planet. Canada's contribution to the hardware trade
I worked electrical retail for 10 years and hung my share of fans.... you disassembled and assembled it exactly like you're suppose to. very nice! I hate those hampton bay fans with that style of mounting.... too many parts and its makes it really hard to wiring done when you have almost zero clearance to work with.... but, you did it! love the blue.... the glass shades are expensive to replace! that color is hard to find! when changing out a fan, always remove the blades by the arms.... I hate it when I see fans in thrift stores and garage sales when they still have the blades attached... the blades get warped that way and makes the fan get out of balance....not to mension, ruins the blades!
I am very glad you made this video because I have never installed a ceiling fan or any light fixture alone, but I actually understood your tutorial and I feel confident that I can replace the fan in my daughter's room I have been waiting to have done but it seems my brothers have been to busy and unable to assist with. Hopefully I don't find any surprises after taking the old one down, but here goes nothing. And again thank you for making this video.
I can definitely agree Cameron fans are definitely the coolest fans on the face of the planet. I had a brown one with 3 lights in my old house. BTW, what did you do with the old fan?
The old one is sitting in a box in the storage room now. It belongs to my grandparents, I am confident they won't be willing to sell it if that's what you're after
My entire light kit has detached from the fan portion and is a fire hazard with how it flickers. It hangs over my daughter's bed. So, we are replacing it ASAP. This video makes it seem really easy!
@@WAEMIDIV Hahaha! One would assume that would be common sense, but sadly....common sense is not nearly as common these days. 🤦♀️ Thanks for the video and the tip! I wish all videos were as informative!
@@AG-mt3xs ua-cam.com/video/5zROXoiN_-I/v-deo.html I do have another video that specifically focuses on replacing the light kit if that might help a little better
That is a very cool fan! Great tutorial! My ceiling fans are getting old and dated so I'll hopefully be trying my hand at ceiling fan installation sometime soon.

@@gunnerdan If you go on my channel's "about" page, you can find my email, can you please send a message? I would love to buy it from you if you're willing
I would recommend turning off the breaker for peace of mind and extra safety, but as demonstrated in this video I only turned off the switch. If you have a voltage tester, verify the fixture does not have power before messing with the wires
@@randomuser2461 I don't know how it's mounted up there, but I do know it's held the previous fan for like 40 something years so I just kind of assumed there was a fan rated mounting point there already. If you're installing a fan where there is currently just a light fixture, you should definetly get a fan rated box to hold it up there. Some older ceiling fans are actually quite heavy and need the extra support The square bit screws are pretty awesome, because you can't strip them unless you're deliberately trying to. I was simply unprepared at the time, and had never seen them before
It wasn't new in box (I wish), it was already installed in my old house when I moved in. When I moved out, I had to take it with me and put something else in its place
@@WAEMIDIV they better take care of it. tell them to take the fan out every now and then and spin the motor around. and if the hoard gets cleared out take the fan out before it inevitably gets destroyed.
