Home – Wiring up a ceiling fan

Filed under: Home — amcbride @ 12:29 am

How do I wire up a ceiling fan? That was the very question I faced after moving into my new home. What are all those various colors for? So if this is helpful to anyone, and if you have the same wiring, here you go.
 

House: Red Fan: Black & White – Only use if separate switch in house for fan and lights [Do Not Use if 1 switch]

House: Black Fan: Black (And Black/White if 1 switch controlls both) – Fan

House: Green (Or bare copper) Fan: Green (Ground)

House: White Fan: White (Neutral)

House: Brown Not Used
