How to Install a Hunter Ceiling Fan Remote Control

A ceiling fan remote control allows you to conveniently adjust the speed and direction of your fan without having to reach for a pull chain. If you're looking to add a remote control to your Hunter ceiling fan, here's a step-by-step guide to help you get it installed:

1. Gather Necessary Tools and Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools and materials:

Hunter ceiling fan remote control kit (includes remote, receiver, and wiring)
Phillips head screwdriver
Wire strippers
Electrical tape
Ladder

2. Turn Off Power to the Ceiling Fan

For safety, always turn off the power to the ceiling fan circuit at the breaker panel before starting any electrical work.

3. Remove the Existing Pull Chain Switch

Locate the pull chain switch on your ceiling fan. Gently pull the chain to remove it from the fan housing.

4. Install the Remote Control Receiver

The remote control receiver is a small device that will be installed on the ceiling fan housing. Follow these steps:

Locate the wire connectors on the ceiling fan housing. These are typically labeled "Light" and "Fan."
Connect the black wire from the remote control receiver to the "Fan" wire on the ceiling fan housing. Use a wire connector to secure the connection.
Connect the white wire from the remote control receiver to the "Light" wire on the ceiling fan housing. Again, use a wire connector to secure the connection.
Secure the remote control receiver to the ceiling fan housing using the provided screws.

5. Connect the Remote Control Receiver to the Remote Control

The remote control receiver and the remote control communicate wirelessly, so you don't need to run any wires between them.

To pair the remote control receiver with the remote control, simply follow the instructions included with the remote control kit.

6. Test the Remote Control

Once everything is connected, turn on the power to the ceiling fan circuit and test the remote control. Make sure you can adjust the fan speed and direction using the remote control.

7. Secure the Remote Control Holder

The remote control kit typically includes a holder that allows you to mount the remote control on a wall or other surface. Choose a suitable location for the holder and mount it according to the included instructions.

8. Enjoy the Convenience of Remote Control

Your Hunter ceiling fan is now equipped with a remote control, giving you the convenience of adjusting the fan settings without having to reach for a pull chain.
