I was wondering if it is possible to convert a hard wire fixture (such as a ceiling fan) into a plug in. The room that I want to install a ceiling fan into has no existing light fixture in the ceiling. I do not want to call an electrician in to put in a box. Is there a kit that can be bought to convert it? What would you need to do this? Thanks Chicki BTW, I am located in Canada

[B][COLOR=Teal]We contracted with an insulation contractor to; 1. change 14 soffits to 8"x16" 2. Add 5 8"x16" soffits 3. Add baffles as needed 4. Blow 6" in attic fiberglass and air seal voids where needed. Last year we had already had our end unit, townhome ranch, roof reroofed, replaced our 4 skylights with 4 new ones, installed 6 ' ice shield protection along roof edge, and replaced the garaged door with an insulated garage door. All in an effort to reduce ice daming ( we live in frosty upstate NY) and to reduce our heating bill.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][/FONT] What occurred was an increase in ice dams in the front and back of the house and air poured in our bathroom through our recessed lights that are close to our back wall where the new soffits were placed and the temperature dropped from 70 to 52!! :eek: The contractor was contacted and he blocked the back soffits with insulation....air still came in, then came back and calked the outside ring....air came in again, then came back and moved a cardboard enclosure from the the light........air is still coming in from the lightbulb area where I TOLD him it was. He also said the ice dams were caused because our skylights are not argon filled and snow is melting off and freezing in the gutters. I checked with our reroofer and the skylights are argon filled. Now he is balking at doing anymore with it. For starters would it not be easy just to enclose the can as you have advised others using a plywood or gypsum board enclosure?
