Are the remote components installed on the fan or do I have to install them?

You have to wire it into the fan before mounting. I chose not to use that feature because my house is wired with light and fan switches.

Sorry, we had a friend install it and I don't know. What I do know is we do use the remote and LOVE this fan. Works great and quiet.

Remote components are installed inside the fan body. However, you will do yourself a favor by buying a different fan. My fan worked fewer than 24 hours before it ceased to function. Looked online, and hundreds of people seemed to have the same problem. Would never buy this again.

For this remote to work the receiver / control unit must be wired in to the fan. If you already have a receiver/ control unit installed you can attempt to match the dip switch settings and control your existing fan. If you choose to install the remote system. I recommend that you hire a certified, licensed and insured electrician.

Nope! But there are instructions on how to install a remote control. Not worth it to me to have the remote, but the fan looks great!

My fan is controlled by a wall switch. When we were looking at this model online there did seem to be some that said there was a remote with the unit, but ours did not come with one. It can also be controlled manually by the pullchains. BTW, this fan is awesome.

Sorry for the delay, but I needed to return home to examine the fan. Replace the wall on-off switch with a multi-position fan control switch. No remote is needed.

I don't know. I have replaced my ceiling fans that do not have a remotes. I found that the remotes caused problems with the fans that could not be corrected and I decided to buy fans that did not have a remote.

You can get remote seperate. I caution you this fan is nice looking but a bit noisey

No. I purchased the remote that they were selling as an add on. This fan CAN use a remote but you WILL have to make some modifications in order for it to work. You are better off buying a fan that comes with a remote.

No, the oscillation pull-switch is on the fan itself and is not a feature that can be controlled by the remote.

look at your old remote. there should be a distinct number combination on a "dial". simply put that same number combination on your new remote to be able to control your fan. no electrician needed.

There seem to be conflicting answers here. Does anyone know if you need to install a receiver or not? How would the fan know to be controlled by this remote otherwise? It's currently hooked up to our existing remote which is broken. So how do I "tell" the new remote to control this fan?

Yes, ours is controlled by the variable speed switch from our old fan. Threw the remote away. Electrician did the install.

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.

You can use a remote with basically any fan that does not provide one, but you have to purchase it separately at your local Home Depot or hardware store and you have to modify the wiring to make it function

The fan doesn't ship with any remote features. So it would need to added by you.

No, you can not install a remote to operate this low profile fan. I was hoping to do the same but my brother (who is an electrician) informed me it was not possible. Sorry! I have NOT however, been at all disappointed with this fan. It's totally quiet when operating and I have no issues with being able to pull the cord to set the speed of the blades, depending on how quickly I want to cool down the room.

It is not on the remote control. Is on the fan but I have not looked to confirm yet.
