Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. ru-vid.comUgkxWF88GpljEn-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.

*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.*

Thank you for the CLEAR wiring section with explanation. So many videos gloss over that part, which is the most important part! Thank you!

@sagittariusblack2879 2 года назад

Agreed. This video was so helpful and exactly what I was looking for

@michaelcedeno4123 10 месяцев назад

Just did my first ceiling fan installation with the help of your video. Thank You and God bless.

@MiaH79 8 лет назад

This is the BEST video I have found to explain how to wire! I am reinstalling an old fan I had in my previous house. I lost my manual and do not even know the name brand of the fan.The other videos go so fast and do not explain what wires to connect where. Thank you so much!

@kelvinfeliciano 5 лет назад

@gregberban9273 4 года назад

That's not even a fan rated box , he thinks because it's an existing box it's ok. It's not

@sregitmp 2 года назад

Your awesome dude!!! I'm not an electrician and the wiring was confusing to me. I simply watched your video and wrote down the wire hookups. My youngest son read them off to me and it worked to perfection. Thanks a million!!!

@ChristinaSiler918 10 лет назад

Thank you SO much! It was taking me forever to find a video on how to wire my fan with the same color wires that are in my ceiling. You really helped me out, Thanks!

@gloiindahouse165 2 года назад

So, I have the directions that came with the fan BUT the unit I live in is 50 years old and there were a bunch of wires stuffed in the ceiling. After watching your video, I realized I had to dig, and I mean dig a black wire out. What you said about doing the 'hot' last made so much sense! All other videos I watched didn't mention it. Thanks for keeping it simple but smart! I just installed a ceiling fan (patting myself on my back)

The blue wire is for the light, and the black wire is for the fan! Been that way on the thousands of fan's I've installed, except a lot of the Hunter fans I've installed the light wire is black with blue stripes on it.

@auck1969 Год назад

You did a nice job minus not twisting the wires together before screwing on the wire nuts. Always twist the wires together before applying the wire nuts.

@tripleprinciple2760 Год назад

Yes especially the hot ones. He didn’t twist the most essential ones that can cause a fire. Odd

@monisamontoya288 8 лет назад

This is a very good vid to show how to wire the fan when you have only one switch for the light and the fan . I wish it continued to explain the pull chains.

@harveylong5878 3 года назад

One chain controls the light on the ceiling fan, the other controls the speed of the fan motor.

How do you wire a Hunter 53033 fan that has a remote to 2 pre-wired switches. One switch for light and the other for a fan speed control switch. What fan speed control switch is recommended.

hi I like the way you explain I want to know how to wire the fan and light to 2 gang botton switch...right now its installed to use 1 gang botton switch it controlls both things.

@deanmccool213 3 года назад

The black wire is for the fan. The blue wire is for the light. The white wire is neutral. Green or copper is ground. I hope this helps.

@frankcheco7550 22 дня назад

@deanmccool213 22 дня назад

@@frankcheco7550 In newer house wiring, the red wire would be for the ceiling fan light.

@SkyWire88 4 года назад

When you are buying parts for this project, don't forget box connectors (also called "Romex" connectors) for the ceiling box wire. This is an Electrical code MUST. A 1/2" connector (also called a 3/8" connector in some circles), is installed in the pancake box shown and the house wiring is pushed through it and secured snugly (don't over-tighten) with the screws provided.

@tedijune6759 2 года назад

ehowathonechannel; I’m curious how the fan can actually be truly grounded since the frame with the ground coming out of it is actually insulated by the extension rod ball? It seems that an actual ground coming from the fan light housing itself would be a more solid path?
