can this switch replace a 3 speed whole house fan switch?

No. This is a low power device, i.e. 2 Amps max, for small 120 VAC motors like overhead fans and such. I use it to control the speed of a small meat grinder, which it does well. It performs best with brush type motors and OK with small shaded pole type (as found in small appliances). A large house fan (e.g. 1 hp or so) like yours is a 240 VAC induction type motor which this kind of regulator will not work well on even if it could handle the power.

No, But it can be replaced with a single pole 3/4hp wall switch if you want the fan to run on high speed only.

I wired this switch to a variable speed fan. I do not know how it would work on a three speed fan. I personally would not try to make it work on a three speed fan.

Yes, as long as your fan is a 2 speed fan to begin with it's a generic speed switch. You can also wire it through a timer too.

Not sure what the rating is but if you have a two speed whole house fan this will work. You might have to play around with getting the wiring right as mine had no diagram. Replaced old toggle/chain switch.

If you only have 1 hot wire, this switch won't help you. You'll either need to buy a fan with a remote or buy a separate unit and remote for your fan.

No. This will not work in a 3 way switch application. Also requires a neutral.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

No, it does not. I just replaced my current switch with this one. I did however have a white neutral wire in the box. And the fan its connecting to was capable of different speeds already. Not sure if it makes a difference.

Yes - if your fan is not working and everything else is - then it is probably the switch - which is a part that can easily break. I tired to fix the old switch but that is impossible. Just be sure to mark where each of the four wires go to make sure you get them back in the proper place - otherwise you will be guessing through trial and error. Good luck

Try the fan manufacturer, or just duplicate the wiring of the existing fan switch.

Yes, but put the fan on high speed and control the speed with the new variable speed switch.

No. The switch for a 3-way is different. The wiring, fan or not, is also. I do not know if a 3-way version of the in box fan control exists. You could just use a regular 3-way switch set-up treating the fan as though it were just a light bulb. You can then use the battery powered remote that comes with the fan to control the fan and it's light. You could also acquire a second battery remote so a remote could be next to both switches. I suggest you contact an electrician if you need more information.

Yes, if your original fan uses a remote with similar functions. Start by setting the dip switch settings in the battery compartment to match your original remote, if you still have it. My original remote had all the switches set to up(didn't work). I moved them to all down(didn't work). I moved the left most switch up and left the others down and it works perfectly. Good luck there are 16 different combinations. :-)

This is how I use it, but you'll need 14/3 wire from the switch to the fan to do this. (Usually black + red "hot", white neutral , and bare copper ground). Most switches are only wired with 14/2 wire which only has one hot (no red)

no, it cannot simply replace a switch, it only works with a controller, and you have to have 4 z-wave switches that this controller will control

If your fan pull switch goes off-high-medium-low, and it has 4 wires going to it, then this should be ok. If you have 4 position but only three wires you should find one of these switches (or use this switch if you know what you are doing). Take good pics before disassembling your fan switch! Good luck.

I use the fan with both the wireless contol and a standard one way switch. The speed setting stays the same as set wtih the remote, when turning off and on at the wall switch. Since the three way switch only supplies power to the fan (off or on) in the same way as to a light, it will work just fine.Best regards,H A Brooks
