[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3691048, member: 34578"] I'm currently in the middle of replacing 8 ceiling fans myself. It would go faster if I didn't have to "correct" the fire hazard wiring going to the junction box on 1/2 of them....... One of the previous owners ran jumper wires from the junction box on top on the joist down to the fan box under the joist with 18G stranded speaker wire. On another they ran THHN to the junction box without conduit. And multiple wire splices in Romex made with only electrical tape and no junction box at all. I still have no idea how this place never burnt down..... This is the same house that had the LIVE electrical panel behind the SHOWER with no cover or sheetrock. Only the shower liner was keeping the moisture out. [/QUOTE]
