How To Install A Ceiling Fan In Your Home

Up to 50% of your home's energy bill can be tied to heating and cooling costs.  Thankfully, it's easy to lower those bills. The addition of a ceiling fan can cut your household energy bills dramatically.

Plus, the installation may be simpler than you think.

In this 4-minute video from the Lowe's YouTube collection, you'll learn how to measure, mount and install a ceiling fan, step-by-step:

  1. Choose the right-sized fan for your room based on its "longest wall"
  2. Cut the power to your room, and test that the power is off
  3. Assemble a ceiling fan
  4. Secure a ceiling fan motor to the ceiling
  5. Restore power to the room

If you're uncomfortable around electricity, or feel the video's instructions are "too complicated", by all means, call an electrician. The money you spend on installation will be dwarfed by what you save in energy bills.
