what kind of remote do I need for this fan?

As far as I know a remote is unavailable for this fan. Check with Hunter for models which use remotes.

Lowes (and I am sure other home improvement stores) sell a Hunter remote that controls the fan (on/of, speeds) and the light if you have one (on/off, dimming).

You can use a universal remote. I took the remotes out of my old fans ( different brand ) and put them in these fans. Works better than the old ones.

Hi there. I assume you are talking about the device that is inside the fan itself. With my fan, the Concept II, there were two different remotes available for fans that looked identical on the outside. I had to call the company and clarify which was the correct version for my specific fan. My advice would be to call Minka directly at 1(800) 221-7977 and talk with them about what you need. Once you have the right part number, you can come back to Amazon to order it.

I did not use a remote but I think one is available. We put it where the old exhaust fan was & it was easy to have the light & fan work separately. I love this little fan, just be careful after you install it that you don't drop the light cover like I did. Westinghouse was helpful in replacing it.

The one I have came with a remote control. I installed it where another fan had been with a single pole light switch.

Home Depot / Lowes has a universal remote that will work with any fan. The lesser known brand name works equally well.

No remote. We bought one with a remote before this one, but the remote only worked for a few days, so we decided to do without. Love this fan.

Some fan remotes have switches inside that you can change. If it has one, great, if not, I am not sure.

Hello - I realize that you posted this comment some time ago, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me. I bought this fan a couple of months ago but only recently hired someone to install it while I was away on a trip. Turns out my 1948 house has the 2-wire electrical, so my contractor simply purchased a different fan. Now I can't return this one. To use it, what did you do? Did you purchase a different type of remote and if so, what kind? Thank you!

When I bought the fan, I had a remote. The original remote got stepped on. So I had to buy another. They guy who put my fan up was able to get the new remote to work with fan.

Sorry for the delay, but I needed to return home to examine the fan. Replace the wall on-off switch with a multi-position fan control switch. No remote is needed.

It does come with a remote. It's not exactly a sensitive remote, if that makes any sense. You also need to point the remote straight at the sensor on the fan. We still love the fan though. It's strong and quiet all at the same time. Ours is over a year old and still runs like brand new.

I do not think it matters what type of fan you have. This device should work as long as you have space in the mount of your ceiling fan to store the receiver, which will receive a signal from the remote control. If your fan comes with a remote, you may end up disabling your own remote and replacing the remote with this device. I don't see why it should not work. This remote is communicating with its own set of sender and receiver, assuming that the fan remote does not co-exists and gets disabled.

Not sure if a universal remote will work as it didn't come with a remote and I don't have one. That is something you can contact Hunter about.Hope this helps.... Its a gorgeous fan......

This model does not come with a remote. You could add a remote with a kit like this: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Thermostatic-Ceiling-Control-Conversion/dp/B001RJ8X0M/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1394194613&sr=1-2&keywords=celing+fan+remote

Found this on the Hunter website. Sounds like it should be what you need. Good luck! Amazon should have this.http://www.hunterfan.com/Products/Accessories/Ceiling_Fans/Controls/Fan/Light_remote_Control_for_Hunter_Original_fans-27187/

I think you can order a light for this fan. Whether the remote will work or not I don't know.

Hi Leslie, Well that's a good question. I would call the manufacturer of the remote to find out. My new fan did not come with a remote that's why I bought this one. The description said it would work with almost all new ceiling fans. I don't see why it couldn't replace an existing remote unless your fan is older.
