An electrician installing a ceiling fan will need to inspect the existing junction box for support of the new fixture. If the wires are not connected to a junction box then you will need to install one of the fan braces found at big box stores that are designed to fit in the hole and span from one ceiling joist to another enabling you to hang the fan and connect all the wires without having to enter the attic space. You should also be sure that the junction box is rated for the weight of a ceiling fan, usually by looking at the inscription on the box itself.
Electrical junction boxes (or outlet boxes) enclose the wiring in walls and ceilings to prevent accidental contact that could lead to fire or shock. They are an essential safety feature for any home or office. These boxes come in many sizes, materials and colors and can be used to mount outlets, switches or receptacles. Most are designed for indoor use but we also have options for outdoor and other applications.
A standard round pan or octagonal electrical box is not designed to support the weight of a ceiling fan and it should never be used to mount one. Look for a UL-listed box that is rated for ceiling fans and marked accordingly. These boxes have a more robust construction and are usually made of metal. A 4-inch square box – either plastic or metal – is the best choice because it can accommodate several conductors and connectors and offers more interior space than other types of boxes. Some have special cutouts to accommodate switches or receptacles.
