I currently have the unit hooked up separate. One switch to operate the heat lamp and a separate to operate the fan. There are instructions to wire on the same switch as well.

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..

No remote. The light and fan are operated by independent pulls. The fan can be on without the light, the light without the fan, or both on at the same time.

Nope, the remote works right out of the box with your fan. No additionalwiring or programming. Well worth buying so you can have the switch on your wall AND the remote next to the bed or on the coffee table.

No remote, but I already had a dimmer and control on the wall from the previous fan.

It does not come with one. It has a pull chain. Ours is operated by a wall switch. Usually you have to buy a fan that comes with its own remote.

The one I have came with a remote control. I installed it where another fan had been with a single pole light switch.

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.

Well, our fan is hooked up using the wall switch but you kind of need the remote to speed up and slow down also the dimmer is on the remote.

No, there is no remote. There are 2 chains hanging from the unit. One for the light and one for the fan. Also hooked into the light switch on the wall. I really like this fan. Is working well for me. Looks really nice, also.

Sorry, I don't know. We don't have a remote, we just pull the switch for the fan & the light. ( pull switches are more heavy duty than on older fans)

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.

The fan doesn't come with a wall switch but it can be wired to almost any type of wall switch. HOWEVER, the Minka is a three-wire European system so an extra ground line would have to be installed to use a wall switch. The remote and receiver come separately. It operates three speeds of the fan and turns the light on/off. I mounted the bracket for the remote onto the wall and use the remote as a "wall" switch. If you want the light off permanently you can remove the bulb easily. Or just don't turn it on. The frosted light fixture makes the bulbs pretty much useless anyway other than for a night light. Fantastic fan, though.

no unit works together. remote will control light or fan but you can not hook up light to separate switch and the fan to a separate switch on the wall. Hope that helps.

It does not include the remote. I paid $50 for the light kit. It is a beautiful fan and very quiet.

It does not come with a remote control. Also (just FYI) the switch to change the direction of the fans is under the light - i.e.: means taking down the light cover to get to the switch. Good news is that you only have to do that twice a year.

It seems to me the remote is the only way to control the fan and the light. Everything went well so far except for an accident a few days ago. My son played with the remote for a while and then somehow I couldn't turn off the fan. After half an hour struggle, no solution could be found on the specification. In despair, I had to shut down the electricity of the house, then turned it on. And the remote came to life again after that. I did wish it'd come with a standard wall switch as a backup.
