Has anyone tried combining both the light and fan on one function switch and did it work out alright? I prefer to always run the fan when the light is on...

No, I have light on separate switch. I have fan and heater on same switch. Works great.

I did combine the fan, light (with nightlight) and heater using one switch and it works great. The electrician had a bit of trouble figuring out the schematics but was able to get it hooked up and working fine. None-the-less, I'd recommend it.

No it's always better to have the option of the fan or not. And the light already has 2 functions, a night light and a regular night. We build homes for a living, this our 7th personal home and I would never build without this product again. It works fantastic.

First, I would ask my electrician. We have ours to control a fan, heating and light unit. The switch operates heat, bent and light in that order. It's easy enough to turn both on and off at the same time.

Fan and light is all one button, so no, they are on together. The fan is not real strong. But this doesn't matter to me, Im real happy with this brand of a uv light.

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.

Hi TiffanyYes you can use heater, fan and light at the same time . You should order a 3 switch plate or it comes with it

I installed this in a double electrical box that had one switch for a light and one for a fan. I installed it using the fan switch wiring only and kept the light switch the same using the original double switch plate to cover both. Long way of saying Yes.

We have two of these fans and both were wired to turn the light on separately. Both are on dimmer switches to adjust light intensity and speed of the fans separately. We are very happy with them.

Do the fan and lights share the same wiring? Does the light need to be on in order for the fan's cord to work? Do you have room for the remote module to be wired in somewhere (typically above the fan)? If the answer to all of these are yes, then it should work.

Yes, you can just join the light and the fan wires together in the junction box on the unit to control both from one switch.

Yes, I installed my fan that way. It mainly depends on how your house us wired. Many new construction houses have the wiring setup for ceiling fans where one switch operates the light, the other operates the fans. Older houses may require more work.

Looking at a similar question on this item (http://amzn.to/1IdMKuT) it appears that the fan switch is NOT the same as the light switch. The light turns on when the door is open but the fan turns off when the door is open.

No, not they way my hubby set it up The lights are the heat bulbs. So they automatically heat up the bathroom. Then the fan can be turned on by itself but if the light bulbs get too warm the fan will kick on automatically, too. The lights are nice and bright. Here in Michigan I get a lot of use out of the heated lights! My husband says he thinks you could hook up one light bulb and one heat light bulb and use them separately. We have a large, cold bathroom so don't have it configured that way. We bought two of these, one for our daughter;s house also. We put a timer switch on both so the heat goes off automatically.

Yes. This will give you ONE switch that will turn on the fan and the light at the same time. When you turn off the light, the fan will continue to run for a set period of time. You can adjust the length of time the fan runs after the light is turned off.

Yes, it will work just fine. Multi vs. single speed does not matter. If you have a fan/light combo that runs from one switch then one of these will work. If you have separate toggles for the fan and light then you'll need two. Hope this helps.

well does your fan have a chain control for your light and fan speed? if it does this will not work. I you have one that is remote controlled all ready this will work for you. Now you will have to install the module with this remote. And the answer to your question, there are universal remotes out there, but if you don't know the make and model of your module, they will not work. You basically have to install the complete matching set. I hope this answer's your question? Tedd

I'm sorry, but I have the fan with the light. Works great and the fan is whisper quiet. My electrician said I purchased a great one.

We only have a single switch so we use the on/off switch for the light and pull the chain if we want the fan on. But I wouldn't recommend buying this fan--the fan has issues of not working correctly.

You can connect both fan and light to the fan wire but you are better off using a single function delay off switch. A single function switch will probably have a higher power rating.
