EXCELLENT! How to remove the cover to clean it or change the bulbs? His info at 16:52 should help. In about four seconds, this fast, informative video answered the question Google couldn't help with. Thank you.
This video was excellent. For a person who has only installed two ceiling fans in his life, this video helped me cut down time and frustration installing my fan. Thank you.
I installed this fan in the oil rubbed bronze finish a couple of weekends ago for a family friend. Super easy especially love those quick install blade arms wish all fans had this feature! Love the videos keep it up.
I've installed this fan in the oil rubbed bronze finnish and I assembled the fan on the floor with the arm's and the light kit, then installed it and added the blades. Just thought I'd share this quick connect hack.
Great video and used it for step-by-step replacement for fan in our master bedroom. One wrinkle though, we have a red wire coming out along with black and copper. I did a quick look-up and it seems red could be for the light separately. We ended up putting the black and blue from the fan with the red and black from the house but it has created a situation where things don't seem to be quite right with the switches on the wall. Should we change it so the red is with the blue and black to black separately? My main concern is not wanting to start any shorts or hazardous situations. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Let me start by saying that I am not a licensed electrician and you should always consult with an electrician if you wiring varies from the instructions. That being said, in general a red wire is typically a wall switch wire. You can either cap the red wire and connect the fan's blue and black wire to the house black wire. That would let you have regular control of the fan via the pull chains. Or, you can wire the fan's blue wire (light wire) to the house red wire and the fan's black wire to the house black wire - this would allow you to turn the fan's light on/off with the wall switch. Please note that the light would need to be turned on using the pull chain initially, then the switch would take over control of the light. Hope this helps!
Thanks for your professional and efficient work in this video. I want to install a remote control. Because of the transmitter, it seems like power wires will not be able to come through the center of the mounting bracket instead through the open space on the side. Is this unit not designed for remote control?
Thanks for watching. This fan can be installed with a universal remote control. When installing the remote, just pull the house wires to one side of the mounting bracket and the fan wires to the other side. The receiver will slide into the mounting bracket and rest on top of the ball of the downrod and wires. You can see the general process by watching the universal smart remote installation video - ua-cam.com/video/1jRqtwj1xu8/v-deo.html
Check balance for fan wobble in steps. Remove rubber screwed on stops and turn on fan to check for wobble. Install arms turn on fan to check for wobble. Install blades turn on fan and check for wobble. Why! So you know it is motor or arms or blades that caused a fan wobble. So install and test in steps.
those are good ideas, but wobble can also be cause by an improperly seated ball in the mounting bracket, a loose motor collar screw, or loose outlet box. Your troubleshooting steps are on point though! Thanks for sharing.
I'm installing this fan, I got the fan to spin but the lights wont come on. I traded the light kit out but it still won't turn on the lights. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
i would check that the blue wire from the fan is properly connected to the house wiring (blue fan wire to black house wire) - MAKE SURE THE BREAKER IS TURNED OFF BEFORE CHECKING. Then i would check to make sure the light kit wiring is properly connected to the wires at the base of the fan. If all of the wiring is connected properly and the light still doesn't work, I would call Hampton Bay customer service at 1-855-434-2678.
This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever encountered on UA-cam. Well done. This really helped me out a lot.
Thanks! Glad it helped!
I agree!!!! I'm super impressed.

Thanks! Those quick install blades are super easy!
Excellent video 👍I didnt bother reading the instructions. Instead, I installed my ceiling fan by watching your video. Thanks for making it so easy!!
This video was incredibly helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!

Great explanations: Thank you so much. Blessings!!!
Thank you. I did it step by step and it up and running.
The instructions in this video also apply to the Rothley II model. Thanks! Didn't even need to open the instruction book haha
We did a separate video for the Rothley II fan - ua-cam.com/video/KW5m1_H8iEo/v-deo.html the installation is very similar.
@@ceilingfans101 very helpful thank you

How do I connect the ground connection if we didn’t use the rod with the green wire?
There's a green wire on the mounting bracket. Just connect that to the house ground.
I need to install a fan on a slope ceiling and with a chain to connect to an exterior /wall outlet, do you a have a video of that?
Long 4 foot pipe. Tape dental floss to wires. Vacuum suck dental floss thru pipe. Pull wires thru pipe via taped dental floss
very helpful video, 1 minor correction needed. u said "switch down for hot weather, switch up for warm weather", u meant cold, not warm. thanks
Thanks for pointing this out. The video is shot in Florida and we don't get cold. We have 2 seasons - Hot and Warm. lol Glad the video was helpful!

I am having the same issue. Did fixing the wiring get the lights to come on?
@@seansavage9769 yeah I had the blue wire on the wrong wire from the house
I have the same issue as lights are not getting on.
I have connected blue wire to the red wire coming out of ceiling.
Hello, Great video, can this fan operate with a wall switch?
yes, this fan has separate wires for light power and fan speed power and can be wired to operate via wall switches.
What hanger pin? What are you on about? There's not one here at all.
There is a hanger pin that olds the downrod as shown at the 8:53 mark.
Do I need to shut the power off in the entire room before installing?
Yes, as we said at the 1:57 mark "please make sure the electricity is turned off at the wall switch and the breaker box".
Awesome video. Thanks for the help
Thanks for watching, glad it helped out!
Could you do a video on a Hampton Bay Southwind 52" ceiling fan with remote
