I work in multifamily housing maintenance and have replaced dozens of ceiling fans. Your white and black wires will always go together - those are power and neutral for the fan. The red wire goes with blue, that's power for the light kit. Ground (green) will be attached to a grounding screw on the mounting bracket. Hope that helps Edit: does your switchplate on the wall have separate switches for light and fan? Didn't take that into account. Instructions above are only if that's a yes.

  • No, one wall switch. The wall switch used to turn the fan lights on and off, while the blades operated via pull string.

  • [quote]No, one wall switch.

The switch wire will go to the blue wire on the fan. Whichever gives constant power will go to the black. If they wired the place correctly, that means red should go to blue and black to black.
