    Q:Does the remote have a reverse button?

    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello Joel, to change the direction of the airflow, the reverse switch is located on the side of the switch housing. Slide the reversing switch to the opposite side. Please refer to page 15 in the owner's manual. ~Michelle https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/8e/8e7a4c48-24c7-4b21-aef7-934fa2e6a2b2.pdf

                  Q:I want a white fan. The fresh white blades are not available so I?m looking at the Snow White. I also need a longer down rod but the compatible one does not come in Snow White, just fresh white. How different are the 2 colors? Could I use them together?

                  A:  Hello, we recommend a downrod in fresh white for this fan. The fan should be 7' from the floor to get the optimal airflow. If you need any further help, please reach out to us at 1-888-830-1326 or Customercare@hunterfan.com. ~Michelle

                    Q:I am replacing a ceiling fan without a light that is connected to a wall switch. I like the Builder Elite 52 in. Indoor White Ceiling Fan and am wondering if it can be run with a wall switch. The website does not mention it. Thank you, Linda

                    Answer This Question

                    A:  Yes mine was installed with a switch that also controls speed. Works great. Installed by an electrician 

                    by|May 22, 2022

                      A:  Yes it can. That is how mine is installed

                      by|May 23, 2022

                        A:  Yes, that is how I have mine connected. 

                        by|May 23, 2022

                          A:  Mine has to be started with the hand-pull.  My electrician either said it couldn’t be done or it was going to be a big hassle.  I can’t remember witch.

                          by|May 21, 2022

                            A:  Yes. I installed 2 of them in rooms that have wall switches with three 3 speed selector switches.

                            by|May 27, 2022

                              A:  Yes you can. The wall switch just supplies power to the fan, you would still use the pull chain on the fan to set the speed of the fan, i.e. high, medium, low (it also has an off setting after low). The wall switch would then turn it on or off to the last setting of the pull chain.

                                A:  Hello Linda, yes, you can add a wall switch to this fan. Here is the link for the wall switch we would recommend. ~Michelle https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hunter-3-Speed-Stepped-Fan-Switch-22691/202033415
