Do I need anything extra to mount this unit direclty to the ceiling? And...can I use the thermostat to just run the fan (in the summer)?

Our builder had all the electrical hookups installed in the ceiling so the installer didn't have any trouble hooking it up. The unit didn't come with a electrical cord so I bought one at Home Depot. Not sure about the fan in the summer.

The unit has brackets on the top but you will need bolts to secure it to the ceiling. As for running the fan only, the unit is not designed for that purpose.Thanks,SHurail HVAC 952-884-8266

I agree with the previous poster. You need a ceiling mount that will cradle it. It will not attach directly to many of the ceiling mounts on the market that bolt in.

the mounting supplied is a hook that hangs it in a doorway. That being said I mounted mine in a 6 inch vent space beside my fireplace by simply using the bolts that hold the cover on fan through a bracket. The hardest part I could see with what you want to do is getting the electric run to it.

Can you mount this on the porch ceiling. I want it to face downwards and can I mount it with a screw as adhesive and Velcro would not hold up after months in 100 degree heat in AZ. I am willing to drill mounting holes in the unit if there is space but is it possible. Thanks

We had the fan installed with a short mount, but not flush against the outdoor ceiling (done by an electrician). Because of the shape of the leaves and the fan make-up, I would suggest that it not be flush mounted. Need a little space for the shape and movement of the fan.

I have not installed the fan as yet. I did purchase a flush mount and light kit for it. We have not got to that part of the remodel yet.

This has to be purchased with a hunter fan that has remote capabilities. In my case the fan was remote capable so there is no further installation needed.

As long as there is good air circulation, I think it would be ok. You might do a ceiling temperature check using a charcoal grill where you plan on placing the unit prior to ordering.

Yes, you can install it on the ceiling. Its housing is slight bigger than the existing fan I had, had to cut a larger opening to fit it in. Make sure the tube fitting is the correct size.

You can connect the fan directly to the outlet, thru the thermostat. You can also use another electrical item if you have the plug-in outlet. Just assure that you do not exceed the amphere rating of the circuit.

If you have an outlet in the ceiling to run the unit and some good screws.... Just keep in mind that you will have to turn it on and off manually from the ceiling, otherwise it will run all the time. I ended up returning mine--- it didn't really do much for the price.

You do not need a thermostat. When the attic reaches a certain temperature, it comes on automatically. Otherwise, it stays off. It immediately began working as soon as it was installed.

The key will likely be do you have enough ventilation...It does not include a thermostat, so something with one might be a better idea.It does have a much stronger motor than most permanently mounted fans that I've seen...

My guess is you will probably need two ceiling fans...especially if you choose this model.

No u need to use the remote to control the light and fan speed. It is the most easy way to install it. If u have two switches on the wall u don't need the remote. But most homes don't have that..

I actually installed mine in a can light opening, using a can to fan converter kit also sold on Amazon. The fan has been up for over a year now with no problems or wobbling, so it is pretty stable. Mounting to the electric box in your ceiling (which are usually fixed to a ceiling strut) should be fine, at least in my opinion.
