My brother, sister and I plus spouses gave my parents a new ceiling fan for Christmas. The original was white, too small for the room and poorly wired. It was AH's job to hang the new one. Problem #1 was the almost 15' ceilings. Problem #2 no ladder tall enough. Off to Menards Andy goes to rent a ladder, $12 for half a day, buy a longer dark stem and a remote. A couple of hours later it was up and running. It sure is nice to have such a handy husband. The parents love the fan. The change in size and color made a huge difference in their room.
Removing a fan or installing a new one is a pretty easy task for the home DIYer. You need basic tools, a little bit of wiring knowledge and a tall enough ladder. Most important tip, be sure to turn off the power to that room before starting or you might get zapped.
