A motorized ceiling fan lifting and lowering apparatus for lowering a ceiling fan so that the ceiling fan may be easily cleaned. The motorized ceiling fan lifting and lowering apparatus includes a tubular member, which is elongated and has a first end and a second end. The first end is open. A shoulder is integrally coupled to an edge of the first end and extends inwardly. A lip extends upwardly from the shoulder. The lip has a threaded inner surface. The second end of the tubular member is coupled to a ceiling fan. A motor is attached to the ceiling. A shaft has a first end attached to the motor such that the motor may selectively rotate the shaft in a first direction or a second direction. The shaft is threaded and has a second end extending through the lip and into the tubular member such that the shaft threadably engages the lip. An actuator selectively actuates the motor in the first or second direction for lowering and lifting the ceiling fan. The actuator is electrically coupled to the motor.
