Can I install a ceiling fan were I now have an exisitng light fixture?
You need to verify if the existing outlet box is ceiling fan rated. This should be clearly marked on the inside of the junction box. If you can not find such markings you should assume it is not. At that point you must replace that box with the appropriate box. Q: I checked the breaker/fuse box and my kitchen lights still don’t work. A: This is a funny one. Did you change the light bulb and was it new? 50% of these calls result in changing the light bulb. Q: My bath room oultet is not working. A: Many times if there is more than one bath room in the house the outlets are looped together. There may be a GFCI in the bath room closest to the electrical panel that load side feeds the next bath room. It is code and a common practice. Other times, if it is just one GFCI, lighting may make it trip, and some times they just quit working.
