Wow!!! I’m so glad I watched this. I’ve I installed many a ceiling fan, mostly for family and friends and I’ve never seen those awesome “wire” nuts!!! How friggin cool are those! I need those in my arsenal. They look extremely handy and better than reg wire nuts. Thanks my man 👍🏻
PRO TIP::: When possible put together the blades, light onto the ceiling fan on the floor first, instead of climbing up and down each time, it could be dangerous that high. Do as much as possible on the floor.
The mounting bracket opening is supposed to face to the peak of the ceiling. Have you had any wobbling or any problems since you mounted yours sideways instead? I'm asking because I'm considering returning mine because I can't mount it properly.
Hi Thanks for the video, It helped with the down-rod install that I needed to do. The only question I have is you capped the blue wire on the ceiling but used the remote control? where did you install the receiver for the remote?
Ok, thank you. I see you posted this a year ago, so they must have made a chamge. The remote is now separated and needs to be installed on the ceiling at the wiring junction.
What size step ladder did you need to reach your ceiling? The tallest ladder I have is 12', and I'm unable to reach the upper downrod (6') attachment. So, I'm hoping I can just remove my dead Hunter fan from the lower end of the downrod, and install my replacement Hunter fan without having to replace the upper bracket.
I was wondering if you were able to just attach the fan to the existing downrod?I have a 20 foot ceiling in my family room and can't reach the top.Having somewhere to put the excess wire seems like would be a problem.
I am trying to install hunter ceiling fan with downrod and I do not have the downrod accessories (hanging rod brockets). When can I I purchase the rownrod accessories (brackets)?
Great question! I have one of those rooftop cargo carriers, so I just mount the two bars on the roof rack of my Odyssey, and I just put the ladder on top of the bars.
Is it a different brand? I would think that as long as you have several threads of engagement and as long as the downrod isn't stuck, you should be fine. Does it not have a set screw at all or just not a hole on the threads of the rod? Does the manual say anything about the set screw?
Hola he comprado otro Hunter Exeter Costco parecido y me viene con dos tornillos chicos de diferentes tamaños y una arandela, pero en las instrucciones no me indica para que son, el ventilador esta completamente montado y funciona perfectamente, pero tengo la duda a alguien le ha pasado lo mismo?

Thankyou for all your hardwork recording this video!
You're very welcome! I really appreciate your comment!
Great tutorial. Logical and well-thought out.
Thanks for showing how to change the long downrod!
You're welcome! That's exactly why I made this video.

I appreciate your comment. I think it's easier for me to carry multiple light items up the ladder than one large unwieldy assembly.
Thank you !!! Great job
Looks good but I don't recall seeing this lol
Great video. But, always a but, should you had twist the rod until it snaps onto the the proper cavity of the ceiling bracket.
Thank you
Nice video. Do you know if you can add an extended downrod to any hunter ceiling fan?
Hi, sorry about the delay. You should be able to. You would just need to extend the wires.
The mounting bracket opening is supposed to face to the peak of the ceiling. Have you had any wobbling or any problems since you mounted yours sideways instead? I'm asking because I'm considering returning mine because I can't mount it properly.
What do you mean? My ceiling is flat.

Glad to hear it was helpful! The remote receiver is part of the fan, so I didn't need to install anything additional.
Ok, thank you. I see you posted this a year ago, so they must have made a chamge. The remote is now separated and needs to be installed on the ceiling at the wiring junction.
@@johnnytranna oh interesting, thanks for the update!
Hi
You can tug the receiver in the ceiling bracket with the blue wire connected if use a dual light/fan switch.

I used a 14 foot ladder for the 16 foot ceiling. Menards rents out ladders. Lowes probably does too.

You mean something like this canopy bracket? www.ebay.com/itm/114742900191?hash=item1ab735b5df:g:U8wAAOSwPPBgXqWK
Hi. Is this normal that the downrod is not fully screwed into the base, part of a threath is visible outside? Doesn't look safe.
It's fully threaded. The set screw will also prevent it from coming undone.
My question is how do you bring that 14 ft ladder home 😅?
Great question! I have one of those rooftop cargo carriers, so I just mount the two bars on the roof rack of my Odyssey, and I just put the ladder on top of the bars.
I'm using the supplied downrod but the threads don't go all the way down. Also I don't have a hole for the set screw is this safe?
Is it a different brand? I would think that as long as you have several threads of engagement and as long as the downrod isn't stuck, you should be fine. Does it not have a set screw at all or just not a hole on the threads of the rod? Does the manual say anything about the set screw?
What model
What size down rod are you using?
Are you looking for the length? It's 3 feet long.

Maybe you could try contacting Hunter to see if they can help.
Where did you hide the controller receiver inside of the fan?
I didn't have to hide it. It's part of the fan, so it's inside.
The fan wobbles if the downrod is not plumbed
If the fan wobbles, the blades need to be balanced.
Can I install this hunter ceiling fan without a rod?
That's a good question. I'm not sure. I would try emailing the manufacturer or checking out the manual for the fan you want to install.
You need the rod to hang most ceiling fans. Some manufacturers sell flat ceiling fans without the need of a rod.
Eww, too modern!
Hunter fans are poor quality.
We have remote controlled Hunter fans in our house that we purchased over 29 years ago, and they are still in service, so Hunter has served us well.
