So We had a friend come and install that nib cec spinner fan i got and he was carless with it slinging it around on the ceiling pressing blades against the ceiling took him hours to install it and in then end theres a scratch on the motor and on one of the blades it made me upset we ended up not paying him much for this he wired it wrong the first time and caused it to work in reverse by flipping the switch up it turned it off and down turned it on this caused a fuse to blow twice it took me showing him a pic of the old fan wired and him taking the switch cover off the wall switch to look at the wiring to get it right. he also kept accusing me of adding extra wires to the ceiling the wires in this house have been the same since it was built finally he said ok i''ll believe you what are you thoughts on this? I Had full plans to install it myself but the wiring in this house is backwards and different then what i'm used to
ps. the fan works fine now but it does have those scratches on it

I will reopen the thread then. The moment an insult gets posted, it's getting locked back down.

It does happen sometimes..I still remember around 7 years ago, one mosque was being renovated, SMC fans that were originally there were replaced with KDK fans.. one of them had its motor label missing and 4 were wobbling due to minor accidents while installing... these things happen when installing which is why I always ensure I install the fans myself.. if anything happens I know how to fix it

That's not backwards if you know what you're doing
My cabin is wired that way

Sounds like your house is old enough to have Knob and Tube wiring when you say it blew a fuse. Which is the first system they used to wire houses. Most of the time, the insulation color is the same, regardless being a hot or neutral, which makes it a chore determining which is which.

It's been a while since I've seen a house that still has fuses instead of circuit breakers.. They started putting in circuit breaker systems in newly built houses going back into the early 1970s..
