Yes, you can replace an existing ceiling fan yourself if you’re only swapping fixtures and the ceiling box is fan‑rated. Hire a licensed electrician if new wiring is needed, the box isn’t fan‑rated, the fan is heavy, or the circuit trips. This is common in Roanoke and Cave Spring homes.
Quick checks:
- Shut off the breaker and verify power is off.
- Confirm the ceiling box is marked for ceiling fan support.
- Use the included bracket and hardware; secure all connections.
