Your Home and Ceiling Fan Before adding a ceiling fan to your décor, be sure you are confident to do the project. Safety is an important factor. First of all, the unit should be anchored securely to a junction box (electrical box) that can hold the weight of the fan and the motion as well when the fan is operating at its highest speed. A completed ceiling fan can weigh upwards of 30 pounds or more, depending on the design. Never take the steps to remove a simple ceiling light and replace it with a ceiling fan without a secure electrical box. You should definitely hire an electrician if you are not experienced in electrical wiring. A ceiling fan needs to be mounted high enough overhead to clear a persons head and arms. To be sure of this have some stand beneath the ceiling fan while raising their hands to see if they can reach it. 7 feet above the floor is minimum height for ceiling fans. You need to be aware of certain long objects like fishing poles and ladders that could easily hit the fan’s blades.
