Westinghouse Ceiling Fans

I know in the winter you can use your ceiling fan to improve efficiency.

I actually want to keep the fan, but remove the extension arm and have the fan flush against the ceiling. I don’t know where to start. Do i have to shut the power off? Am i going to electricute myself? do the blades have to come off too?

Ceiling fan blows air downward but at times airflow seems to stop even though the blades are still turning. The fan will start to have a wobble when it loses airflow

Hi – can anyone give me an estimate on how much it would cost to wire a new ceiling fan in my living room. There is no existing electrical outlet so he’d have to put a hole in the ceiling and run a new wire – thanks!

I have a vaulted ceiling, 24 ft. Someone told me that when a ceiling is high you should let the fan blow down even in the winter; is this true?

I have a remote ceiling fan and the lights dim on, but turn off normally. How do I get the light to stop dimming on?

Right now, in my room, I just have a plain lightbulb and cover. I want to put a ceiling fan in. How much cost and work would this be?

I have a ceiling fan that the pull switch broke on. the fan was in the house when we moved in and I have no Idea what brand it is or how to find the serial number to order a replacement part.

I’m thinking about installing a ceiling fan, but our ceilings have popcorn on them. Does that type of disturbance release enough asbestos to be concerned about?

I have a ceiling fan in my son’s bedroom. The fan works fine, however the light will not come on. I have tried replacing the bulb, to no avail. Sometimes, if I try to turn the light on, the light comes on for a second and goes back off right away. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

I have a part that went out on my ceiling fan and nobody locally handles the part.
Sure hate to have to purchase a new fan just because a .00 part went bad in mine.

Thanks.

I know I have to clean them periodically, but is there anything I can do to cut down on the amount of dust building up ceiling fan blades? Any techniques you use that has been successful?

What does it cost for electricity to run the average ceiling fan in a room per day and per month? Same question but for a CFL lighbulb? A laptop computer?

I bought a new ceiling fan and the mounting bracket for the ceiling fan has a ground wire. The old light in the room that I am removing had no ground wire coming from the outlet box. From the ceiling mounted outlet box, there is one black wire and three white wires. What do I need to do to properly ground this?

I have just taken off my old ceiling fan base, and in the junction box there are two white wires connected to a single white wire leading out from the motor, and there is a single red wire connected to a black and green wire from the motor. My new ceiling fan has 3 wires, a black, a white, and a black+white wire. How do I connect the new one to the old configuration?
The fan was really old, and it came with the house. It was about 10 – 15 years old.

My Nan has a wooden ceiling fan, and it’s filthy. I just wiped it with a dry cloth and all this horrible black soot fell on me. Their wood heater has left a layer of soot around the house, while being removed.

What’s the best way to tackle this situation?
Should I use spray and wipe is that a no no?
Is Pledge the same as Spray & Wipe?
I’ve never heard of it.

I replaced my ceiling fan/light it works from pull chains,works good now, but the outlet that runs on same line does not work now. i hooked up white to white and black to black and also a blue wire to the black and green to green. what went wrong?

The grounding wire that comes with the fan is just an uninsulated wire that would be okay if it were run through the wall but not okay in a swag use.Is it really necessary to ground it.
There is no electrical connection in the ceiling.
I will be attaching the fan to a bracket on the ceiling which is sturdily attached to the joists. My question is about grounding. The swag/cord is just for connecting the electrical outlet.

I have a remote controlled ceiling fan that will not allow the remote to turn it off and there is no other switch or control on it. Help me get this turned off!

I bought some ceiling lights at Home Depot that has the burnish chestnut finish on it and am wanting to recreate this look on my gold ceiling fan to match my lights. Can anyone give me the colors and types of paint I need to use to acheive this finish? Thanks for any information from any faux finishers out there………

I have a ceiling fan that I am installing and the light works, but I can’t get the fan to work. From the ceiling there is a bare ground wire, a green wire, a white wire and a pinkish wire. The mounting bracket also has a green wire. From the fan is a blue, white, black and green wire. I have wired it like the instructions said, white to white, greens to greens and blue and black to the other wire which is the pinkish wire that I have. Am I doing this right and what do I do with the bare ground wire. I suck at electricity….help.

My house has dimers on the switches and I want to install a fan. The fan comes with instuction for the wiring, but it only mentions white, blue, copper, and green wires. My ceiling has a red wire and the instructions dont mention a red. Is the red the wire for the dimer? If so then how do i connect it to the light on the fan?

The ceiling fan in my bedroom has been working fine. We sleep with it on high every night. But suddenly two nights ago I turned it on and it spins at about the same speed it would if it were set on low. Maybe slower. What gives?

The firstswitched has a white neutral and hot black and is connected to another switch by a jumper. The second switch runs a ceiling fan and has the black jumper and one black hooked to it. Can I hook an additional ceiling fan to the second switch?

I live in an apartment and would rather not screw around with the electrical wiring in the building. But I want a ceiling fan. Do they make a ceiling fan that has a wired plug that you can just run across the ceiling, down the wall and plug into an outlet? that way I don’t screw with the electrical wiring, but I get the ceiling fan and overhead light I want. if anyone can confirm this type of product is made, and where I can find one, I would be very grateful. Thanks!
