My current fan (old and noisy) is wired to two wall light switches, one for the fan the other for the lights, can this fan be wired the same way?

I have the Hunter Cortland fan and it is wired so that one wall switch turns on the lights and the other wall switch turns on the fan. We didnot get a remote for the fan because the installer said the remotes are more of a problem then anything. We have had the fan up for a year and a half now and it works perfectly. No noise on low speed, which is all we use. Hope this is helpful to you.

Yes, mine is wired that way. This is a beautiful, elegant, Quiet fan! You'll love it!

I don't think it can. You have to plug the fan to the lights and the wires get wired to your house fixture.

Yes. You can wire this so that the fan and the light are operated by separate switches.

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.

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.

I have it on the same circut as the wall plug. I think you would have to run seperate wire for the switches to lights or whatever, but it sits nicely next to the plugs. common cover for them. Sounds like you have two switches now so this should work.

I am not sure but I think you can wire the unit as you may want. I have a separate switch for the night light. and a switch for the main light and the fan. The fan seems to be influenced by motion. I'm not sure if this is how the manufacturer designed it, but it seems to work for me. I bet you can customize it.

Short answers is no. If you don't have a seperate switch in the same location that controls the fan then you'll need an electrician to run an additional wire from rhe fan to the switch box.

There is a separate branch circuit in the unit so that you can wire it to its own switch. If you install it as it comes, then the fan will go on with the light. There is a wiring diagram in the package that tells you how to wire it. Good luck!

Yes, ours is installed to a double switch on the wall, and they operate independently. As well, there are two pull chains on the fan itself, so if you wire it directly, you can still operate the functions independently from the pull chains.

I would say no. The light is controlled by the switch, a timer contained with the switch keeps the fan running for the number of minutes you set. For what you want to do I would suggest an electrician. I have never encountered a switch that does what you want. Best to consult a professional if only for safety.

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

I already had a wall switch, we just replaced the heat bulb/fan. Our switch however, is a double switch one operates the heat lights the other operates the fan. We had it installed by the Handy Man Connection. It took them about an hour.

Yea one is for the light but I wired it so the light is through the switch and the fan is off The chain only

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.

not an electrician, but that didn't stopme from replacing a standard light switch with motion sensor. HP of fan is not revilement, all the switch does is allow power to go to the the device. If the fans are operated from two separate switches, best use 2 motion sensors.

All these fans can be connected like that. Choose your fan for air flow, then light and night light. I use a 3 rocker switch.

Yes I was able to do this - it's exactly the way I have it installed. I can't remember how the wiring worked, but I figured it out from the installation manual. BTW, the light is quite bright, and the fan is amazingly quiet.
