We're planning on buying two. Is the wall switch included with the fan pacage or must we purchase separately?

The special minka wall switch with sliders for both fan and light is included in the fan package.

I would not buy this.... We bought one for our daughters room and the light shade shattered on her bed because of the heat the bulb created.

While it is recommended that you use the included switch these fan can be wired manually according to the manufacture instructions.Thanks,-PasuTech

The fan comes with a 5 speed electronic wall switch in the box. The switch is dsigned to go with this fan.

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

This fan does not come with a switch. If you have a 3 conductor romex cable run to the fan, then you can have separate switches for fan and light.

Ours is installed with separate wall switches. One controls light, one controls fan. I can turn each on independently of the other. Perfect. Worked out great. Don't really use remote or mess with the controls on fan itself.

Only the fan unit is included. The fan cord is not part of the package. I reused the cord from my existing fan.

Mine did not come with a pull switch. Although we are able to control both light and fan with the wall switch as well. Remote is only necessary for fan speed.

Yes. And the fan wiring is independent of the light wiring so they are controlled separately from wall switches.

A wall plate is not provided. Neither is a wall switch. If a switch is not already purchased, I recommend the Panasonic one which has indicator lights showing which function is "on." A cheaper switch I bought does not have this feature. Result: The heater and/or vent fan has inadvertently been left on because of the quietness of the fans. I corrected the problem by labeling and pasting indications on the switch cover.

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 guess you could remove it, but then, you would only have the wall switch to turn on both fan and light. I assume that you might want the light at times when you didn't want the fan. And, what about the pull for turning on/off the fan - that hangs down also.

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

the wall switch sends power to the fan, but you need to use the fan's remote to turn on the light. You can leave the light on, and then both the fan and light will activate via the wall switch.

The fan offers a few ways to wire the light and fan. You can wire so that the wall switch turns on the fan AND light, then you use the two chains to select the light, the fan, or both. Another way to wire is use the wall switch to turn light on and off, then use the chain to turn on the fan when you need it. I only had one switch so I chose to wire the first way. Wiring instructions for the options I mentioned are included in the documentation.

It is a WALL switch for the light and fan. You can control the fan from either a remote or the wall.

The unit is not sold with an on-off wall switch. Unless you are an experienced and qualified electrician, I absolutely recommend that you spend the extra bucks to have it properly installed with a dedicated circuit for the heat and separate circuits for the light and fan. I also recommend putting the fan on a timer in order to ensure the moisture is properly vented after every shower.
