There is a specific type of ceiling fan made for outdoor use. Outside ceiling fans are made with protective coatings and material to protect the motor casing to keep out moisture and other outdoor elements that could cause a regular, indoor fan to stop working.

Many homeowners decide to install a ceiling fan to modernize a room, and the right ceiling fan can help you cut your energy costs while providing a pleasant aesthetic sense to any room. However, you’ll need to be very careful when you install the ceiling fan to avoid injuries or damage to the ceiling fan itself. First of all, make sure that all power is shut off to the ceiling fan. Otherwise, you’ll risk electrocution. If you’re not sure which breaker or fuse is used to control the power to your ceiling fan, turn off all of the power to your house. When you install a ceiling fan, it’s important to be very careful, and this begins with electrical current. Taking down an old ceiling fan is a necessary step before you install a new ceiling fan, so carefully remove one fan blade at a time before removing the rest of the old fan. Support the old fan carefully. If necessary, get someone to help you remove the old ceiling fan safely, and be careful not to tear the electrical wires attaching the old fan to your house’s electrical systems. Installing the ceiling fan can take some time, but resist the urge to pre-assemble it, as this will make it much more difficult to properly wire the fan into the ceiling. Follow the instructions included with your ceiling fan carefully, including wiring instructions. Keep plenty of electrical tape on hand, and when the ceiling fan has been wired up, test it by turning on the power before you attach the fan blades. This way, if you made any mistakes when wiring the fan, you’ll be able to correct them without too much of a hassle. If you’re uncomfortable when working with electrical wiring or if you don’t think you can handle the ceiling fan installation, you can usually get a professional to help you out for about $100 or so, depending on where you live. This isn’t a bad idea if you’re at all confused about the instructions for installing a ceiling fan, but if you’ve got your bearings, get to it--installing a ceiling fan should be a simple task.
