A friend wants to install a bedroom ceiling fan in a condo. There is
no electrical box at the location and there is a floor directly above
So, we're looking at options:

1 - Run wiring to it, but this will require cutting/patching drywall,
which means a lot of work, including repainting

2 - Using surface mount, raceway type setup

3 - Using a swag kit, which is basicly is a cord that plugs into a wall
outlet, then runs through hooks to the fan.

Will probably use a remote as the only control, which makes things
easier.

So, any opinions? Particularly any code issues regarding 2 or 3? I
didn;'t even know 3 was an option, but on the web I see fan shops
selling them.

Yeah, there's one right there where the fan should go, staring me in
the face. That's why I said there is no electrical box and was
looking for alternatives. Geez.

Huh?

Is there a light with no electrical box?

No, that was sarcasm to the reply that asked about "no light fixture in
the ceiling?", when I made it clear in the orignal post that there was
no existing electrical box and a floor above. Hence the question on
alternatives.
