• <div><p>Ceiling fans provide a number of advantages for your home.

Q: How do I convert my ceiling fan to wireless?

• <div><p>To convert a ceiling fan to wireless, you&rsquo;ll need to install a canopy module to access the lighting and fan controls. Many options are available, all of which help you control specific elements of your ceiling fan, so you have plenty of choices depending on your needs.</p></div>

Q: How do I install a ceiling fan if the ceiling isn’t already wired?

• <div><p>If your home doesn&rsquo;t have the existing wiring to power a ceiling fan, you may need to hire a certified electrician to set it up for you. Building codes in some parts of the country require this part to be done by an expert. And in general, you want peace of mind that your electricals are installed correctly.</p></div>
