We are in the process of purchasing a new home and would like to replace the light in the ceiling with a well lit ceiling fan. Would love suggestions on a fan that would complement this room while also providing enough light. Thanks!

Hi all,

I had an old chain switch which got broken and I wanted to replace it with new one. Opened the fan, removed the old switch. However, forgot to take the picture of wire connection. Can someone advice which wire goes where?added a picture of capacitor.

Also, there will be a reverse fan switch. Which I removed by mistake . Can someone suggest which switch I can buy for that? And wire connections for that too?

Thank you 🙏

Trying to install an outdoor fan. Opened plated electrical box and there is on 1 connectable wire (yellow). There is white and orange wire but they are effectively just running through the box (not cut or capped). The green grounding wire is off on the new bracket for the fan. Fan instructions seem to say there should be one live wire and 2 grounding wires (not one?). Can someone help?

What would you do? Where would you install the ceiling fan?

My current preference is to place it slightly closer to my desk (left wall) rather than keeping it perfectly centered, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice.

For reference, the room is approximately 8 × 6 meters, with a 1-meter-deep balcony at the bottom.

The X marks the current location of the ceiling light, which is also the most obvious location for the fan. On the right side of the room are three windows. The entrance is at the top, and the balcony is at the bottom. The square in the bottom-right corner represents the lowered section of the ceiling caused by the roof slope.

My desk is along the left wall. Besides installing the fan where the light is now, I'm considering moving it either halfway between the left wall and the current light position or halfway toward the windows. Which location would provide the best overall airflow?

So would you place it LEFT / RIGHT / OTHER spot?

Thx (also if there is a better sub please redirect)

I have a ceiling fan with 3 blades and 5 lights. It looks like a casa vieja turbina, except mine is white, possibly a model discontinued since purchase in 2018 (Casa Vieja 60" Turbina Industrial Retro 3 Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan with Light).

In 2018 the contractor installed the fan and put in a wall control which failed recently. Alas replacing the battery did not help. The control was only wired into a ground. Strangely, when i opened up the top i did not identify a receiver? I am asking for help identifying a compatible wall control, ideally similar in appearance, if possible similarly battery powered only, and I assume a related receiver.

Keep getting ads for this ceiling fan on TikTok shop that fits to the light fitting.

Has anyone used them and are they decent?

Struggling a lot more in the heat this year due to health issues and it’s been impossible to cool the house down

I’m in the UK

How do i get this new dreo fan on? The electrical box is 4inx4in with the mounting screws where the previous fan was screwed being 4 3/4" apart. The old ceilining bracket(bronze) allows up to 5" seperation between screws. New Dreo fan mount(black), the slotted spaces go up to 3 3/4" and the screw holes are 4 1/4".

Any easy fixes?

This is a ceiling fan with integrated light, with a remote control for speed and light intensity. The title says, but I'll make it more clear:

- The instructions tell me what to do with the 3 cables connected to the black box (remote control receiver), but not what to do with the other green/yellow cables. I have my idea (I assume they're the neutral ones, and they must be put together with the one with the same colour, connected to the black box?) but I'd rather have confirmation.

- there is a black, non electric cable. It seems something goes in, as it has a little hole on the tip? I have no idea what to do with it.

- Is a disconnector necessary, or will a circuit breaker do? I will be connecting the fan to a light switch, but research has told me I should not be touching it anymore.

Edit: I'm in France, and the instructions have been absolutely useless (they say nothing about the cables. I can gather the "n" connects to the other "n" in the cable connector thing, but I'd rather not just guess the rest of an electrical installation of it isn't obvious like that was). Also, the one video on the internet with this type of fan, did not help, but I contacted the guy who made it for help just in case lol

Also, English is not my first language!

ISO Casablanca Malibu star ceiling fan replacement blades. We have had this fan for years in our beach house, we love it and are looking to get a replacement blade but I can’t find them anywhere!

Turned fan on in my son's room and heard this noise. Looked up and there was a balloon wrapped up in the fan. Took light housing off and pulled out string and this noise is still coming from the fan.

Edit: the fan only makes the noise once it's up to speed.

getting my first ceiling fan ever. this looks really modern. was originally thinking the hunter zentech only to read some bad reviews here. open to recommendations esp since its prime day thanks

I previously asked a question about another fan (hunter 25750) in the house I just moved into but now I've got a question about another fan in the house. Can anyone help identify the model, other than being a hunter I can't see any other markings identifying it. And if anyone has any guess what might be causing a rubbing or scrapping sound when it is in motion.
