    Lets start this way, what are the colors of the three wires?

    Do you already have a ceiling outlet to install the fan?

    Do you have a "Switch Loop" and wall switch already in place?

    Would using a pull chain be okay with you.

    Most ceiling fans have a reversing switch already built into the fan. It's a small slider switch on the housing.

    Can you use that if there is one already one installed.
