*Great unit that’s easy to install and use. It’s relatively quiet compared to window units and **Fastly.Cool** , and it cools down our whole living room, side room and bathroom; which is a large space for any unit to cool.*
Thanks!
You are an excellent instructor. Thank you very much for creating this video.
Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful.
Great video. One observation I’d like to add. I had a White, Black, Red, and Green (ground) coming out of the ceiling socket with a three switch light bank at the wall. The Fan has a Black, White, and Green wire.
If you have a multi-light switch outlet, remove the cover to identify which switch connects to the Red and which to the Black wire. Knowing the status of your home wire installation will save a lot of installation headaches.
Thank you for sharing! Happy new year!
Excellent . Very Detail.... Muy bien esplicado !
Well done. You made that look so easy. I doubt it will go that well for me but I have a great example. Thank you.
Best of luck on the install. You can do it. Thanks!
Great job explaining
This was PERFECT! THANK YOU!!!! 💪🏾
Thank you!
This tutorial really helped me. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it.
So glad it was helpful. Thank you. Happy New Year!
@@diypotentials Hi, thanks for the video, i have a question: what doing now the switch you had for the lamp?, Does it only turn on the light or does it turn on the whole fan as well?
@@jorgeluistamayadominguez2638 it turns on the whole fan, but you then use the remote control to turn the light and fan off or on.
Thank you so much! This was by far the best video I could find about installing with a remote. The manufacturer instructions were terrible. :)
Thanks so much for the nice comment. I’m glad it was helpful. Best wishes!
Thank-you good job
Thank you!
🎉 Thank you!
Thank you!
It helped, thanks 😊
Thank you!!!
Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.
One of the more thorough demonstrations of remote ceiling fan installation.
Thanks!
Excellent video
Thanks!
So, what is your wall switch ? Is it a dimmer switch or a regular switch ? I have a dimmer switch and would like to know if I can connect the blue wire (light) from the fan, remote blue wire and the red wire from ceiling all three together ? And have the black from receiver to black from ceiling.
Has some one had issues with the remote range? I changed the battery, and i need to aproach a lot to make it work. I think the remote receiver is faulty.
What do you do if you needed a longer ball rod assembly?
haha very funny. lol
I have a separate wall switch for old light and old fan. This new light isn’t clear as to how to hook up both. Do I only use one switch now and block off second one?
Yes. As I shared in the video, I left one live wire unused. Thanks!

Thank you!😊
How did you get the remote control to work because I have it wired correctly But the remote control's not doing anything Even when I put the batteries in shouldn't I like come on or do I have to do Um lock Learn Thing that parental keeps telling me to do which is very confusing ?
My wires have power but the fan won't turn on. I have no ground but that shouldn't be the issue. Any thoughts?
You might have to rewire making sure the connections are tight. The lights and fan should work even without ground…hope you got it working already…thanks!
I have a wiring question I haven't found a good answer to.
My old fan (w/ no light) was controlled by a single on/off wall switch. From the ceiling is a black, red, white, and ground wire. The transmitter for the new "remote" fan as a white and black wire to going to power source. Which wire from ceiling (red or black) do I attach to the black transmitter wire? And will the old wall switch now only send power to the transmitter (i.e. fan is now controlled only by the remote control)?
Both the red and black wires are live. Either one should work. Since the remote transmitter comes with black and white, I would use to the black wire just to match the two wires.
The black and red are your switch legs which are used to distribute power to your light and fan separately. Since youre adding the remote you wont need both you just need one to power the transmitter. Connect the blacks at the switch and cap off and hide the red.
This is helpful however I wish I could still use both wall switches and not rely on the remote control option alone, is that possible? I.e. what if the remote is lost?
Hi. I have 3 light switches connected to my fan/light with remote set up. Since the blue wire from the fan was connected inside of a plastic connector coupled with 2 other wires, I’m not sure how I should connect the red wire from the junction box. I capped it off but now I can only turn the fan/light off and on from one of the light switches. The other 2 are dead. Any suggestion? Thanks for the video.
Hello, those switches were pre-wired to power the fan and light separately--one for the fan and one for the light. I'm not sure what the 3rd switch is for. But since your ceiling fan comes with a remote control, you only need to power it using one switch. Capping off one of the switches (red wire) as you did was correct. You no longer need that switch or the 3rd switch if is not connected to anything. Notice now that your remote control should have two switch buttons, one for the light and one for the fan. I hope this helps. Thanks!
Thank you
@@linder00 What I ended up doing, since I had a 2 Pole wall Switch and now only using 1 switch. I used the red wire (extra) in the ceiling fan bracket and ran some recess lights to round the fan area. It was super easy since the wiring is already there
What brand is that fan ?
Hampton Bay. Not a great one
You only used one power input to the receiver correct? I’m having a problem with my led light on fan turning on and off and when running both the light flickers
I only connected one hot wire from the ceiling to the receiver.
Do you have your fan wired to a variable (dimmer) switch?
I bought this same fan and I wanted to wire the fan directly to a designated switch for light and fan. It’s such a nightmare because the way the led module can switch the color mode with pulses . I wish they made the led light with a switch to change the color temp rather than rely on the remotes since I’m not using the remote .
Does your fan work with switch or only remote? It’s a pain mine doesn’t work with switch and light changes tone every time I turn off or on.
Why does the fan not work with the switch, only the remote?
how
how to order?
Do I have to put in the down rod? Or can I bypass it?
Hello, I don't think you can bypass it. Let me know if you can. Thanks for asking.
The cardboard ring would protect the glass lighting fixture. No need to remove it.

I have two problems regarding safety in your installation method
1) the mounting screws are too light duty and not suited for the load. You should be using anchor bolt screws
2) you do not have a safety line to attach the fan to the mounting bracket.
I don’t think the fan comes with the items you’re talking about
@@jaegermah I guess you are missing out on some safety aspects of ceiling fan installation
Also missing a hard hat, goggles, long rubber gloves, tyvek hooded jumpsuit and wired ground connected to yourself. 😂
This was dragged out wayyyy to long man.
Great communication though
I tried to attach the blades with the screws that came with it and there were 2 short is this common
