Does a ceiling fan have to be wired to a switch?

• <div><p>No, a ceiling fan doesn’t have to be wired to a switch, but it’s often more convenient.

Q: How much should I pay someone to replace a ceiling fan?

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>

Q: What keeps dust off fans?

• <div><p>Keeping dust off fans can keep them working optimally and help keep dust mites or bacteria from building up. Dust fans weekly with a duster, microfiber cloth, old pillowcase, or vacuum attachment. You can also try spraying a clean fan with a store-bought dust-repellent product or making a DIY dust-repellent with water and a small amount of liquid fabric softener mixed in.</p></div>
