Wiring Can Be Complicated

Ceiling fan wiring involves more than just matching colors. You must also have knowledge of your home’s electrical system, checking load capacity, and ensuring the ceiling fan is properly installed. One simple mistake can lead to flickering lights, malfunction, or even a fire.

DIY Risks

Improper installation can lead to:

  • Loose or unstable mounting 
  • Electrical code violations 
  • Blown fuses or tripped breakers 
  • Serious safety hazards 
  • Improper ceiling fan wiring
  • Expensive repairs
