Fan Socket
How do you get a ceiling fan to be able to plug into a wall socket?
I have a basic ceiling fan and a new home, not new construction but new to me. The problem is when we had our electrician friend come over to install our other ceiling fans we discovered thre was no power source to the ceilings. Needless to say he installed power to most of the ceilings but to get to the attic in the master bedroom would take an act of God. (which we don't have the time or money for at this time) I wanted to know if there was a way to connect a power cord to the fan and swag it across the ceiling to a power outlet in the wall. Do such things exist? If they do where can I purchase them and how do I get it to work with the fan that I have already, or do I need to purcahse a special model? HELP!
It can be done, and without too much difficulty. Fans are heavy, and must be suspended from a ceiling joist. You can use a stud finder (about $10) to find one in the vicinity of where you want the fan. Get a steel box of a size to which the fan can be attached; it will have knockouts, and knock out one of the small ones on a side. Get an appropriate power cord and a fitting to secure the cord in the knockout. (Fittings for non-metallic cable are what you want for this.) Install the fitting, attach the box securely to the ceiling, and string the cord from the box to an appropriate wall outlet. Put a few hooks in the ceiling to help support the cord. Connect the fan wires to the cord, and hang the fan. You're done.
You need to devise a way to blast your way into the attic. You may be able to cut a hole in the ceiling in a closet or in the hall; you can trim up the opening so that it looks nice. My house had no such access, and I required one to fix an electrical problem; I wound up going through the light box on the kitchen ceiling. Once you have done so, you could re-do the fan to be a cleaner (and more code-worthy) installation.
