3 main questions. I am trying to replace a light fixture with a ceiling fan/light combo. I've read that some boxes are not rated for ceiling fans. How do I find out and/or can you tell from my pic? The fan bracket would not fit my box, so I picked up a universal one. Is it installed correctly? Wiring. 2 whites together, 1 brown and 1 yellow (not used with previous fixture). How am I to connect the black, blue, white, green? I saw something about grounding occurring through metal conduit and I "think" that may be what I have, but still don't know what it means for the install.
