Before installing your ceiling fan, you need to check to make sure thatyou have the correct ceiling box for a ceiling fan application. If the houseis not new construction and you are replacing an existing light fixture, theceiling box may need to be modified or replaced before continuing withthe installation of the ceiling fan. The information in this section ofCasablanca’s Technical Library may help at the time of installation. One ofthe most important things that need to be looked at is the ceiling box. Thisis to make sure that the ceiling box meets all building codes, warnings andweight requirements to support the weight of the ceiling fan. First, you will

The ceilingbox must be rated to support the weight of the fan. If it does not, the ceiling box will need to bereplaced with one that is weight rated for the ceiling fan weight and is also designed to meet all safetyand building codes that are required for proper installation.
