The fan I am replacing operates from a wall switch (both the light and the fan). Can the fan part of this be wired to operate from a switch?

One switch for both. There is only one power wire connection to fan. It was designed to work off the remote.

I highly recommend you read my review. It explains this situation in detail.

The fan and the light can be controlled separately. They can be either both on, both off, or one or the other on. I have the light wired into the room light switch, whereas the fan is controlled by a pull-chain switch. These fans are very versatile for different wiring arrangements, either by a competent do-it-yourselfer or an electrician.

We leave the light ON on the remote, so we can operate that with the wall switch, and then just use the remote for the fan, which we use much less often. So, it can be done. :-)

I believe that you will need two wall switches --- one for turning the fan on/off and one for turning the light on/off.

Yes, quite easily. There is a pull chain for the fan and another for the fan. If so wired, the wall switch can turn on both, either can be turned off with the pull chains.

We hooked ours up with separate switches - one for the light and one for the fan as most of the time, we don't use both. So sorry, I don't know the answer to this question.

Yes it can definately be hard wired to a wall switch. simply do not use the on/off switch that comes with the fan.

If your power source is connected to only one switch the fixture must be wired so the fan and light are wired togther. Fan and light will power on/off togther.

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

Yes you can connect it to a switch, however you will need to order the correct wall switch that is compatitable with that fan! Contact us for that part number! :)

It is hard wired to a wall switch. Great fan, super quite. We have had other fans in our other homes but you can't go wrong with the Hunter brand.

Yes. The one I have has a switch & plate that I ordered seperately. It controls the fan, the light & a night light. So that has to be installed separately to run the fan & adjuncts.

Yes, it is possible to have a switch for the light and another switch for the fan.

The fan/light is wired so that they can be seperately controled. I got a switch that controls the light and the duration that the fan stays on. The fan is so quiet I reccomend you get this type of switch as it would be easy to leave the fan running all the time because you can barely hear it.

It does need a direct connection by wires to power the fan, like any light bulb would. The remote on the wall controls the fan speed and direction. You don't need a 3rd wire to the fan, like you do on some other ceiling fans to control the fan from the switch.

No. The fan will only run with the light switch is on. You need to rewire if you want it them to run independently.

The fan comes with a remote control and a holder which may be attached to the wall. I have my holders with remotes attached to the walls right next to the light switches. I believe it is possible to order a switch that can be separate from remote.
