We install a 56" stainless steel Industrial ceiling fan with 5 speed wall mounted control in our shop. This fan is the real deal including (5) speeds to choose from and (3) stainless steel fan blades.
Here in the Dominican Republic they sell that fan and there are people who put a lamp on that fan and I think they make a hole in it so that the thread of the lamp burns to screw it into the fan, although the best-selling brand is the KDK, that model from Westinhouse, the Nikel model, very exclusive to see here in the DR since what you see most of the Westinhouse brand are the short-lasting ones, that is, the ones with wooden blades but the ones with steel blades, it is exclusive to see it now that people prefer KDK over westinhouse nikel
Thanks for watching! Your probably right and it's easy enough to add another one down the line but so far so good. What I really want is a storm door before winter comes so I can work with the entrance door open :) Thanks Again, Billy
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated 😎 I hope you can stick around. We are new to this RU-vid stuff but have some good videos coming up. Thanks again Bill😎. Billy....ps, cool name !! Lol
I've got virtually the same set up. It's called Aloha Breeze. It drives me nuts that there isn't a reverse option on this fan. It would come in handy with the stove in the winter to help heat the kitchen.
Envirofan Gold Line would have blown more air and probably would have outlasted this fan, but if you are fine with how much air this fan blows, you're fine. But Envirofan Gold Line has a cast motor and would be better quality than stamped motor. Anyways, nice video!
@@billylisasremodelingchanne4344 You’re welcome. I want to say there are straight blade and curved blade Gold Line. Curved blade wouldn’t blow lots of air directly under the fan but would blow more air around the fan. Straight blades would blow lots of air under the fan but not much around the fan. Also only straight blade ones are reversible.
You could have bought a fully variable solid state speed control that fits in the box instead of using the control that came with the fan. Would have saved you alot of work.
Quick question why did you use neutral (white) as hot to connect to the fan. Do I, as usually I do have this reserved, but speed control should be controlled with the black wire (as available hot) and neutral (white) to the other end to complete the circuit?
No problem, the white wire at the speed control was used only as a jumper, tied to the hot in the switch box so I could identify that was hot coming in to speed control and the black one was hot going out of speed control. That is why I marked the white with a piece of black tape so anyone in the future would know that piece of white wire was working as a hot and not a neutral. Similar to using a piece of 2 wire for a switch leg. Thank you for watching. Billy
@@billylisasremodelingchanne4344 But wasn't it easier to use a black wire or am I missing here something lol? There must be a good logical explanation why you used black tape around the white wire instead of immediately using black wire as the jumper wire?
Yes, fine question. If I were to use (2) black wires from the switch box to the speed control devise, once I fished them behind the wall and came back out to the speed control I would have trouble knowing which one was coming from the source hot and which one should go to the fan lead. (speed control is acting as a switch) The speed control has a hot in and hot out. Using one different color wire is just an easy way of being able to tell which is which just by looking at them. Again, let me know if that makes sense.....Billy
@@billylisasremodelingchanne4344 Aha excellent Point and I was thinking of that. I am sorry I never did anything electrical and now I need to install two fans and I have a red wire in the ceiling that’s throwing a monkey wrench into my project lol. I know that the black is hot and white neutral, but I have new fans with remotes that don’t use speed control like my previous fans. Theres a switch and speed control on my wall and the red wire was most probably for the speed control. Another wall switch controls the lights so I think the red wire is for the speed control so I was wondering if I can just put a cap on the red wire to leave the speed control out of the equation. This video has helped me get a better understanding of the whole setup. Thanks again.
Hi Nick. Yes, 14-3. However 14-2 is all that would be necessary since there is no light on the fan. Most times a fan is wired with 3 wire, one hot for the fan and the other for the light. Some have a remote now that will operate both off a single piece of 2 wire. Thank you for watching 😊.....Billy
