Virtually all of the cabling you need is already available so the only thing is to replace the current workbox with one that is developed for the weight of a ceiling fan. If you dont change the current workbox to something that can cope with the weight could spell disaster.
Before you start your project, examine the instructions for the fan you have purchased, and be sure that you have all of the essential tools. If you are setting up the fan over a cathedral ceiling, you may require to purchase additional parts for extending the fan all the way down lower. Once you are prepared for the actual installation, make sure that the breaker is switched off, so no power is delivering to the light you are swapping. The moment you take out the light fixture, verify to see if the pre-existing workbox can handle the added weight.
On most occasions, the workbox will not be able to take on the extra weight so you may need additional support.
You will be able to do this really easily if you are able to get the light fixture from the attic. To be able to extra support, you nail a 2×4 in the ceiling rafters where it meets the top of the workbox. Be positive that the 2×4 is secured and then bolt on the box to the wood.
If you did it effectively, the excess weight of the fan really should be well supported by the 2×4 wood and screws. In cases where you are incapable to do it from the attic room or you have basically no attic, you will want to add a cross bracing in your ceiling. It is more hard to carry out and may not be that secure but its the greatest option if you have no attic admission. Once you have assembled the fan correctly, you are now all set to hang your fan.
