How do I install a ceiling fan on my aluminum patio cover? It was prewired but I am not sure who to brace it?

My house was just inspected by a local home inspector who says my ceiling fan on my screened-in porch is installed with the wrong wiring. It is wired with a grey flat-type wiring with the following lettering E3044 (UL) AWG CU 2 CDR WITH AWG 14 GROUND TYPE 600 VOLTS UF-B SUNLIGHT RESISTANT. Is this wiring proper for a screened-in porch? Thank you!

In my den I have a flat screen tv and also a pc.I have a 52" ceiling fan but the room is still warm.Would you advice me to buy an floor fan,to help cooled the room.My thermostat is sit on 78 degrees but them temp in this room is 3or 4 degrees higher

Tim,

I just installed a ceiling fan and all seems to be working well, except for one small thing. The fan is controlled by a remote that came with it. While the fan is running or turned off, it's silent. However, when I push the button on the remote to turn the fan on or off, there is a short electrical buzzing sound (less than 1 second). Is this something I need to be worried about? Thanks in advance!

I have installed a 48" ceiling fan in my small study rm(82sq ft) with a ceiling height of 9ft. Regrettably,it does not provide sufficient cooling at all.This fan modal which is (Fanco FFM 3000) does not allow for the lengthening of its shaft to bring it lower for more effective cooling.
I was advised to bend the blades of the fan to increase the downward draft. However when tried the method suggested,the speed of the fan was reduced greatly so much so that the problem was exacerbated.
I am in desperate need of a solution to my problem.
Pl do not ask me to buy another modal of fan.
With Thanks,
Daniel.

I live in a building with a radiant heat on the ceiling is it safe to install a ceiling fan? Would I hit any connection on the ceiling that would damage the heat? What type of ceiling fan box should I used on installing ceiling fan? Please help I need your expertise on this matter thank you.

how do brace a ceiling fan to a patio cover

I’m replacing a light fixture with a remote ceiling fan with a light kit and having a wiring issue. It appears that whoever installed the original wiring did not follow the color code because when I connect a light fixtures wiring to the electrical box, black to black and white to white I short the circuit. In my ceiling electrical box I have two BX cables with two black and white wires each. The two black wires from two separate BX cables are spliced together and the white wires where originally connected to the light fixture. After testing the white wires with a test light in the ceiling electrical box I connected the set of two wires from the universal ceiling fan remote, black from the remote to the white from BX cable with current in it (where the test light lit up after connecting one side to the BX cable wire and grounding the other) and the white wire from the remote to the white wire from the other BX cable (where the test light does not light up) then I connected the other set of three wires from the remote to the three ceiling fan wires: white to white, black to black and red to black and white wire. After turning the power on, the lights on the ceiling fan along with the remote dimmer are working and the remote makes a clicking sound when I attempt to run a fan at different speed but the fan motor does not turn. I also checked the security setting on the remote to be the same as it is on the remote unite. I’m pretty sure that I did not burn the fan’s motor yet but wired it incorrectly. Please tell me if you can, what it was that I did wrong.

Thanking you in advance,
Marat.

I have a question:

I installed 4 ceiling fans in my daycare facility. One in the rooms, and 2 in the livingroom and kitchen area. Unfortunately, we cannot feel the air. Not sure if the ceiling fan speed can increase somehow or the fans need longer blades.

Help?

Nancy,

Are your ceiling fans running the proper direction? Some have a reversing switch. If the fans are running up, you may not feel the air movement. But even if you don't feel the air, if the fans are running air is being moved.
