Q: What color wires go together for a ceiling fan?

• <div><p>If the fan doesn&rsquo;t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling&rsquo;s red wire to the light&rsquo;s black wire and the ceiling&rsquo;s black wire to the fan&rsquo;s black wire. </p></div>

Q: When should I repair versus replace my ceiling fan?

• <div><p>Since the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-ceiling-fan-installation-cost.htm">cost of installing a ceiling fan</a> is <b>$250</b> for most homeowners, it might be beneficial to replace your existing fan if you are experiencing a significant repair issue, like a broken motor. However, for less expensive repairs, like a fan blade replacement, you&rsquo;ll likely spend less on the repair than a complete fan replacement. Of course, if you&rsquo;re looking for an upgrade or a new style fan, replacing it altogether is always an option. </p></div>

Q: Can you install a ceiling fan where a light fixture is?

• <div><p>Yes, you can install a ceiling fan where there is already a light fixture. The electrical wiring needed to install a ceiling fan is similar to that of a light fixture. Before you make the swap, consider whether you need an extension rod and whether your ceiling is on an angle. You will need a fan-rated electrical box to ensure that your ceiling is sturdy enough to handle a spinning fan.</p></div>

Q: Is a longer ceiling fan blade better than a shorter blade?

• <div><p>The more surface area that a ceiling fan blade has, the more effective it will be at producing airflow. Therefore, a longer ceiling fan blade is the better option if you&rsquo;re looking for more wind. However, a longer blade will consume more energy than a shorter blade.</p></div>

Q: Is it difficult to install a ceiling fan without existing wiring?

• <div><p>Yes, adding wiring for a ceiling fan where there is none requires an electrician to build the electrical infrastructure. You should not attempt to do this job yourself, as electrical work can be dangerous without experience. All told, the job is a big one, and it might cost up to <b>$2,000</b>.</p></div>
