Hello all,

I purchased a condo (the developer shall not be named  ). We still haven't VP. The developer was nice enough to include two air-cond units for the living area and master bedroom. Unfortunately, this means they did not provide a ceiling fan hook or even a electrical point & switch for these two rooms.   Dining, Bedroom 2 & 3 all have fan hooks and points. They also included box lights for the living room.

I think we are still living in a tropical country where the weather is not hot all the time, ceiling fans are sufficient to cool me down, so I was wondering of ways to have a fan in the living area and master bedroom. I thought of a few ways of doing this,

1) hacking the wall, the box plaster ceiling and the concrete ceiling to lay down wiring just for the fan. This is obviously messy, need to get approval, I will have to repaint, I have the laminated flooring to think about, fuse concerns, buying new switches etc.

2) to avoid hacking the concrete ceiling, I could just make a layer of plaster ceiling and hide the cabling under there, but I still would need to hack the wall and the box plaster ceiling. And I'll have a slightly lower ceiling. Also not sure how to mount the hook, to the plaster ceiling or to the concrete ceiling?

3) I thought of tarik wayar from the box lights and control the fan just from the remote, but I'm not sure of this. And I think have to turn on the ceiling lights to be able to turn on the fan. Kinda dumb to have the ceiling lights on during the day just to use the fan

4) Buying a wall mounted fan and put the wire in a casing (or hack the wall). This will look ugly af.

Any other suggestions or ways I can go about this?

Much appreciated.

Ceiling fan is lousy idea, as you know hot air go up, and ceiling fan blow the hot air down, not a good idea.

Get a circular fan, put it on the floor, cold air will go up and you will feel it is much better than ceiling fan.

You can extend using conduit along the wall edges .. neat and no hacking.
