I'll take you step by step to remove your old light or fan and install a new ceiling fan. I found this one on Amazon very compact and low profile. Highly recommend!

Turn Off Power: Turn off the power to the existing light fixture or fan at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Use a voltage tester to confirm that there's no electrical current running to the wiring.
-Remove Existing Fixture: If there's an existing light fixture or fan in place, remove it carefully. This typically involves removing screws and disconnecting wires. Keep track of which wires are connected to what.
-Install the Ceiling Fan Mounting Bracket: If your ceiling doesn't have a mounting bracket and box suitable for a fan, you'll need to install one. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to secure the bracket and electrical box to the ceiling joist. Ensure it's stable and can support the fan's weight.
-Assemble the Fan: Follow the fan manufacturer's instructions to assemble the fan. This typically involves attaching the blades to the motor housing.
-Attach the Fan to the Bracket: Hang the fan on the bracket provided, following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure it's securely attached.
-Wire the Fan:
* Connect the fan's grounding wire to the grounding wire in the ceiling box.
* Connect the fan's neutral wire (usually white or gray) to the ceiling box's neutral wire.
* Connect the fan's hot wire (usually black or red) to the ceiling box's hot wire.
* If your fan has a light kit, connect its wires to the corresponding wires from the ceiling box, typically blue or black to black and white to white.
-Secure and Tuck the Wiring: Carefully tuck the wiring into the electrical box, ensuring it's not pinched or interfering with the fan's motor or blades.
-Install the Canopy: Attach the canopy or cover to the fan's motor housing. This covers the wiring and mounting bracket.
-Install the Fan Blades: Attach the fan blades to the fan motor housing, following the manufacturer's instructions.
-Turn On Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
-Test the Fan: Turn on the fan and any included lights to make sure everything is working properly.
-Secure All Screws: Make sure all screws and connections are tight and secure.
