Unique Ceiling Fans

Before gong to sleep at 10 P.M., manually switch on the ceiling fan and it must automatically OFF after ten minutes.Then again it must automatically ON after ten minutes. This process is to be continued till 6 A.M. until it is switched off manually. In order to make the above mentioned technology practical ,what equipment is required? What will be its approximate cost? In which address should I contact?

I just moved into a new condo and all of the rooms have ceiling fans with lights. The problem is that each room has a dual light switch but only one switch operates both functions of the ceiling fan/light. The last place I lived in in had the same switches but one operated the light and one operated the fan. Is there any way to accomplish this without rewiring?

The ceiling has a black, white, red, and bare wire. The fan has two black, a white and a green. I understand white to white and bare to green. I just don’t know how I am supposed to connect the red and black wires. The installation instructions do not make any mention of a red wire.

My husband and I are having a debate: If a ceiling fan is spinning at a high speed and somehow detached from the ceiling, where would it likely go? Straight down or to the side?
Thanks for helping us waste less time arguing and settle this once and for all!!
My thought is just that if it is moving really, really fast, it tends to shake back and forth as the blades are spinning. Wouldn’t that same energy and the propelling motion of the blades cause the fan to be thrown to one side, depending on how it detaches from the ceiling?

I have a ceiling fan with a light underneath it that takes a regular light bulb. But when I try to use a compact fluorescent bulb, it flickers. Can someone tell my why?
Yes, the fan is wobbly. Would that tend to interfere with the electrical contacts or wiring? How would I fix the wobbling?

There are only black and white electrical wires in the old fixture. How do I connect these to the ‘new’ multicolored wired system in the ceiling fan? I have not found any helpful answers after extensive internet searching.

We bought a house with ceiling fans. The fans are nice but the lights hanging down from the middle of the fans (below the blades) are horrible. I’d like to just remove the lights and put a plain cap in their place.

I can figure out how to remove them, but where can I get a cap? I can’t find the name of a manufacturer on the fans. I’ve looked at fan sites online to find parts, but I haven’t seen any kind of "cap" that I’m looking for. Asking at Home Depot wasn’t helpful either.

Does anyone know where I could get a "cap" like this?

I pulled out the chain from my ceiling fan while trying to turn it off. The complete chain came out and we can’t see any way to put it back in. Meanwhile the thing is spinning at the highest setting and it’s really COLD! The wall switch only operates the light on the fan, but not the fan itself. Is there any way to get in to where the chain was and turn this thing off? It’s a very high ceiling and so standing on a ladder is what’s required to even reach it. Thanks!

My husband just built me a roof for my back porch, it’s a pretty low ceiling so it’s to short for a regular ceiling fan. I was thinking one of those enclosed ones that you can turn and point in different directions. They hang from a metal hook in the corner of a room. (Not a stand) Where can i get one?

If you dont know what im talking about im talking about the little things at the end of the two chains that hang down from you ceiling fan. One chain is for the light and the other for the fan speed. My brother is the one who needs something but he doesn’t know what to put. What could he use, anything that you think would be good for this will work.
Thx for ur help.

We just moved into a home with a Nuvent ceiling fan and light. The ceiling fan only runs in the reverse direction meant for winter – no breeze for the summer. It has a remote but no reverse button and we can’t see a reverse button on the fan. Any ideas? Thank you.

There’s 2 chains dangling from our ceiling fan. One for the light and one for the fan. The one for the fan just got jerked too hard and it’s still up and inside but it’s obvious it’s been pulled a couple of inches away from where it was and we also can not turn the ceiling fan on now.

How do we reconnect it where it was – goes?

I just moved into a house and the room I’m sleeping in is too hot and I like to sleep in a colder climate. The ceiling is about 10 ft. high. I’ve never installed a ceiling fan before so I’m checking to see how much it would cost to get one installed for me. The only place I know that sells them is Lowe’s, do they install them for you if you pay an extra fee? If so, how much? Or what is the average a contractor who does that kind of job ask for?

I am trying to install a ceiling fan. This will be my very very first my project in mu life.
Only one web(home depot) shows how to support for the weight of a fan with using box and brace, however I still don’t get what I need and how to do. Any handy man, please help me !
Thanks

I have a pizzeria and i need to know if anyone knows how to mount a ceiling fan in the drop ceiling panels.

I installed a ceiling fan about 2 years ago. Everything worked fine. Here latley though, the fan will randomly shut off for a few hours then star back up? It isnt a remote controlled fan. Right now the fan doesnt work at all but i can still hear the motor humming. You can even put your hand on it and feel it vibrating frokm the motor working but the blades will not turn?

I’m installing a drop ceiling and I need to find a way to mount a ceiling fan from it. Are there any special brackets or specially made fans (with lights) available?

Hey guys… i need help installing a ceiling fan. I mainly need help on the wiring. I have four wires to connect (black, white, red and green) all coming from the ceiling. I have to connect those to the fan’s motor (black, white, green, black+white) Can someone please help me with this??
It does include light fixture!
There is only 3 wires from the ceiling and the 4th (green) is coming from the golden mounting plate.
I have 2 switches on the wall. Both my other rooms have dual switch installiation.

I’m trying to install a ceiling fan to replace a broken one that has never worked since I bought the house. The outlet box contains five wires: two black, two white and one bare copper for ground. The wiring diagram that came with the fan assumes I only have one black, one white and one for the switch, all matching the wires in the fan. Why is my outlet box different and how do I appropriately wire the fan with my setup?

My Mom and Step Dad are having an argument about which direction the ceiling fan has to turn during the summer. Is it clockwise or counter clockwise?

I have a new house that has two separate switches one for the light and another for a ceiling fan. There is a 3-wire (Red, Black, White and ground) at the existing ceiling fixture which is only using the red and white wires. The new ceiling fan has only a black and white wire from one side of the remote control box and then the normal three wires (white black and blue for connecting to the ceiling fan light). I would like a diagram to show which wires get connected to the ceiling fan?

The fan has about four wires total. The house is about 100yrs old. There are other fans in the house. This is a Hampton Bay ceiling fan. Can I ground the ceiling fan to the metal box I need to install in the ceiling?

My kitchen currently has a ceiling fan there, but there is no light there. I would like to replace the ceiling fan with a ceiling fan with a light? How easy is is this, and what extra wires need to be already in the wall?
I guess I want to know more than is it easy. But how do you do it.

New construction, but house is finished. Do I run it from an existing box in the attic? Off another ceiling fan?

I’m trying to convert a ceiling fan into a fan that just plugs into a wall. is this possible? I need it to work with a potentiometer (the dimmer was one we had used with the fan). are there any hazards I should look out for? (over heating due to run time or something) any websites you can provide would be awesome. thanks!
I already have all the parts, just need to know how to do the conversion.
