I currently have two switches and would like to control the fan and light separately using the wall switches. Is this fan wired for that?

Yes, there are three wires, black for fan motors, blue for light and white is the common feed.Thank you,Mike H.Dan's Fan City

I am not an electrician, so take that into account. To be separate, I believe you need to have an existing light/fan switch and wires installed in your bathroom. Otherwise, you'll need to handy electrical wiring to install a new dual switch with one for your light and one for the fan. I simply replaced an existing fan which had it's own switch. All the best.

No, it can be wired to one switch, but that means the fan will be on whenever the light is. I wired mine with a single switch that EFI makes that has a timer that keeps the fan running after the switch is turned off. The timer is adjustable.

As it was installed at my house, I haven't been able to use just the wall switch unfortunately. The remote works well though and it's easy to switch from low to high, etc. It's a nice fan either way.

Yes, the motor and light can be wired separately using two separate wall switches.

Yes, ours is installed to a double switch on the wall, and they operate independently. As well, there are two pull chains on the fan itself, so if you wire it directly, you can still operate the functions independently from the pull chains.

Yes, I have the fan and light connected to a switch in my kitchen and you can still control the light from the switch on the fan. It works really good.

No, it does not. You have to install a switch (where your light switch is) and you can control the fan and light separately.

Yes, as I said in my review, I have both the fan and the light wired to separate wall switches. Actually the fan is wired to a 3-speed selector knob, but you could use a slider switch as well. The light fixture says 40 watt max, so 60 watt bulbs probably wouldn't be a good idea. However, you can purchase CFL bulbs which are 60 watt equivalent but only use &lt;20 watts.

Yes, you can use a wall switch to control the Metropolitan ceiling fan.Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City

The switch comes with a matching transmitter that connects to the fan. You need two separate switch and transmitters to control two fans.

I already had a wall switch, we just replaced the heat bulb/fan. Our switch however, is a double switch one operates the heat lights the other operates the fan. We had it installed by the Handy Man Connection. It took them about an hour.

No. It connects directly to the fan motor wire. You do need a wire that's separate from the lighting, and a fan that does not have a built in controller (or one you can bypass). In other words, if you now have two separate wall switches for the fan and light, this is a direct replacement for the fan switch.

I did not have to install the provided wall switch. You can just install and use the existing on/off switch for the fan/light you have now, but you won't be able to dim/change speed etc. It will just be stuck on what ever it is at when you install. I purchased the remote separately and it works right out of the box with the fans, so you can just use your existing switch, buy the remote and then you can change all the functions.

Hi Sherry,Thanks for the question. If you have a 3 wire setup in the single wall switch, then Yes. You'll have to purchase a dual control to operate the fan and light separately from a single switch. But don't forget Sherry, this fan comes with a remote control. We hope this helps. If you need anything further, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

No you don't The wiring for your light will work just fine. The only thing is both fan and light come on at the same time but that is what we wanted.

Hi. My husband installed this, and we have it on two switches - one for the fan and one for the light. He could have put in three switches with one for the night light but we thought that was overkill :) So I am pretty sure you can wire all 3 things to one switch or do them individually, etc. So yes the fan light can be on its own switch or share. Hope that helps.
