Step 1 · Verify Power is Off

Locate the electrical panel for your home. Identify the circuit breaker that controls the ceiling fan. Flip the breaker to the 'Off' position. If there is no label, you may need to test by turning off breakers one by one until the fan loses power. Use a non-contact voltage tester at the fan's wiring connections to confirm power is off.
