Existing Conditions
What we found before starting.
The room had a round ceiling light at the location selected for the fan. Converting this location to a ceiling fan required a fan-rated ceiling box to support the fan’s weight and the movement and vibration produced during operation. The work included this support upgrade as part of the installation.

- Removed the existing ceiling light fixture
