Darn fans!

When you get the vacuum out to do the blinds and upholstery try to remember to clean the ceiling fans too. Not just the blades but the backside of the motors where they draw in air. They get clogged with dust and lint which makes them run hot and inefficiently. An in efficient fan uses too much energy for the benefits it delivers.

  1. Just how hard is it to replace a fan anyways? And can you replace a fan that does not have a light in it with one that does? (Like can a little old lady do this by herself?)

  2. Depending on the constitution of that little old lady I'd say it is doable. It is always better to have a strong back for the heavy lifting but it is a DIY dream. If there is already a fan there then there is no problem adding one with a light as long as you have no problem operating the light off the pull chain. There are always instructions with the fan and you should have no problem with assembly since there are usually accompanying illustrations.
