- Learn how ceiling fan circuits work in a one switch or two switch circuit in which a remote controller is used or a ceiling fan light combo is installed using two switches or hardwired from the breaker. The red wire in a Romex 14-3 wire is used and explained in detail. The step by step instructions in this DIY will show you the general installation of a ceiling fan.

This is one of the best electrical videos that I've ever seen.
I like your tone of voice, the speed that you speak, you're very detailed, you're very patient,... ☝🏿😎💥🤲🏿🙏🏿👋🏿😎
Thank you very much for the video, my ceiling fan has been a pain in this DIY and this video helped me understand it better!
Amazing. Thank you. I love learning about this stuff. Maybe I’ll be an electrician some day..
Thank you for a great video! Easy to understand and follow! Please keep the videos coming!
Best video thanks !
Amazing video! Thank you for the clear explanation.
Thank you so much for this amazing explanation and I feel super confident to do my electrical DIY projects at home. 🙌🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Great stuff! Keep up the content 🤙🏽
I will be back to watch. God Bless you and yours.
Great video, thanks
Thanks
Hi, Love your video; very detailed and instructional. Would it be possible for you to advise the make/model number of the ceiling fan wtih the remote. Thank You, Richard
I bought it on Amazon. Not sure of the exact information. I just looked for a fan/light combo that had a remote control included.
I love your explanations with the visual it ties it all together. I had an old fan that had the separate switches for the light and fan. Just got a new one with the remote. Is there a way to wire it so that you can still do the light and fan separately? I am guessing not unless you ditch the remote right??
Right, or just use the remote for the fan if you wanted so you could control the fan speed.
Your video is great! The explanation, visuals and tempo are done well. I do have a question: For what are the colored wires with a modular connector? I have Possini Encore Hugger ceiling fan with light kit that has red, gray, purple, and yellow wires with a modular connector, but the new receiver doesn't have a place in which to plug it or any corresponding colored wires. The original receiver was damaged by condensation. The manufacturer sent a new updated one and specifically stated that the new one is compatible with the older model fan. How do I connect the 4 colored modular connecting wires from the motor to the receiver?
I am not sure without looking at it. Can you email me some pictures? brettleybuilt@gmail.com
This video is spectacular. I wish the electricians that wired my house during the remodel were half as sharp as you!!
Question. During the remodel we purchased Hunter fans that all have a remote. We also dropped two switches. Nothing with the switch positioning and how the fan and/or light responds makes sense to me. Can you have two switches on a remote set up and still have one switch control the fan and the other the light?
I understand that if the light switch is off, obviously the remote can’t control the light. Same principle for the fan. I don’t see why both switches still couldn’t control each function while still being able to use the remote (assuming the circuits are closed).
Thanks for the video and thanks for your wisdom!
The best way to do this is to use one switch to control the power to the ceiling fan/light, and use the remote to control everything. Generally the light is controlled by flipping the switch when walking into or out of a room, and then the fan is controlled using the remote.
Hey there I need advise. I have a Meross relay switch that is 10 A. Can I use that for a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan? I realize most switches are 15 A but I researched some smart ceiling fan switches on the market and some of them are even less than 5A. So is 10A ok to connect? Thanks. 🙏
I honestly don't know on this one. I am not totally familiar with these switches or relays.
Hi. Amazing video. Quick question: We just bought an old house and have been finding all sorts of weird circuits. In one room where we are changing out an old ceiling fan there is only a hot and neutral in the ceiling . When I removed the wall switch the hot to the ceiling fan, black wire is still hot. It’s a constant hot tied in to another circuit with some wall outlets. Any idea how a wall switch control a ceiling fan with a constant hot? I’m totally confused. Thanks in advance.
Sometimes they will run the hot wire to the ceiling fan or a light first, and then run the hot to the switch and a hot wire back to the ceiling fan or light box. I don't like doing it this way, but people do it.
Hello, Great videos you have . I’m glad I found your channel. Question, can recessed lights be connected to the incoming power to the ceiling fan? I currently have a double switch controlling the ceiling fan and ceiling fan light and also the ceiling fan has a pull chain. I have a separate switch for the recessed lights and a 12/2 wire running up to a junction box in the attic ( no power just spliced wire in the junction box) black to black , white to white and grounds to junction box so that wire is running into the junction box to the ceiling fan (no power). The recessed 12/2 wire is also coming in into the ceiling box junction box (no power) the ceiling fan junction box a 12/3 wire is what is connected to the ceiling fan white from fan to black from power source. Black from fan to black from power source. Red from switch to blue from fan and all grounds to pigtail to junction. So I’m wanting to supply power to the recessed lights to be controlled by the single switch. Thanks!
Can you send me a simple drawing of your set up. brettleybuilt@gmail.com
Thank you, just sent the email and drawing.

Your videos are GREAT, and we appreciate them. I do have a question for you I am hoping you may be able to answer. We installed a Kasa single pole switch on our ceiling fan with a light and we use a remote control to run it. We use the switch mainly to turn the light off and on, and then the remote at night to turn the light off Originally, everything worked as it should have, but then all of a sudden, when we turn the light on with the switch, it takes anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds for the light to come on, which is very odd. Now, if we leave the switch on, and control the light with the remote, it comes on instantly as it did at first with the switch. Any idea what may be causing this? Again, it is a single pole switch one push on, one push off controling the fan and light. Thanks for your time and help, and your great videos.
Not sure. I looked up Kasa switches after seeing your post, and it seems like other people are having the same issue. Not sure about what causes this.
Ok, thanks anyway. Hopefully if somebody else is having his problem and gets it figured out, they will post it here. Thanks again, appreciate it.@@brettleybuilt
Love your videos. Thank you for your work on them. Very helpful and educational. Keep up the good work!
