If you want to connect a ceiling fan then this can be done by you also. You just need to be little attentive while making the connections. Also for connecting different wires, tightly connect the wires and don’t use loose nuts as they make the connection loose. Never leave the connections uncovered and wrap an electric tape around it.

In general you will find 4 wires for attaching your ceiling fan. These wires have different colors (black, white, green and red/blue or black/white striped) and each of this color have its own significance.

Out of four wires, black wire represents the hot lead of the fan whereas red/blue/striped wire represents hot lead of the light kit (optional). White wire represents the neutral lead of ceiling fan as well as light kit and green wire represents the ground wire for whole assembly.

Now as you know the significance of all the wires, you can start connecting these wires. Connect the neutral wire of ceiling fan to neutral wire of home wiring. Some of the ceiling fans have a white wire that is wrapped by a striped tape or a colored tape. Such wires sometimes show that they should be used for some other purpose rather than for making a neutral connection.
