To mount a ceiling fan, you must hire an electrician to prevent potential hazards.
Once the electrician is hired, they will follow special steps to correctly mount the ceiling fan.
First, they will clear the work area and gather all the necessary materials. They must remove any excess materials for a clean work area.
Then, the electrician will examine the ceiling before the installation. This ensures enough space exists for the ceiling fan and that the light switch can be wired correctly.
After inspecting the wall, the electrician will turn off the circuit to the ceiling fan.
Then, they will install the junction box and the mounting bracket on the wall.

At the end of the installation, the electrician will add the ceiling fan and the ceiling fan blades.
