The joy comes after the install, when sitting under it, sipping on some ice tea and watching the ball game!

Which hospital is involved?

I remember the first time I put one up was a pain . The lasy couple thousand went pretty smooth.

How about separate switches for the light and fan?

The fan motor is made to come on in the highest speed setting first. By switching it at the wall you could have the fan in low, cut it off at the wall switch, and when you turn the switch back on the fan starts back up at the low speed setting. Not good for the life of the fan.

I have been putting off installing one at the farm for about 6 months.Mom finally got tired of waiting and hired someone, who I happily paid..

I heard an electrician tell his helper the other day “watch out for that 220, it’ll make ya dicc hard”

gonna have to save this for future reference ...

Starting the fan on low could possibly cause the fan to only last 19 years, 11 months instead of 20 years

It's out of balance....should have included a kit that includes a temporary weight to clamp on the blades, then the permanent weights with double-sided tape. You clamp the weight on the blades and move it around until you find the sweet spot that balances it.......once you find which blade and where on the blade is the sweet spot, you stick the permanent weight on it and you're good to go.

I remember as a kid when my Dad installed them in our house. He would be duck taping quarters, pennies, nickels, and dimes on the blades to try to balance those old things. I guess they have progressed to some degree, but they have a long way yet to go.

I don't do any electrical work without this tool.

I put one of these under the deck on our patio. I wasn't going to run an electrical box over to it, so I found this one. It's been great.

I have one on separate light , fan switches , been up and running 28 years, been on low for all those years. It only gets turned off for blade dusting or if someone turns it off by mistake.

MUST HAVE TOOL !

I replaced the one on our screened in patio two weeks ago. While it was down, The Boss asked if we (meaning I) could run outdoor lights to the pergola attached to the patio. I had to go up in the attic via the garage and make my way to the back of the house. Extend myself to driill a hole and have her feed me the wire to pull back to the ceiling fan. That was the easy part. I then found out I had some how gotten wedged and now had to figure out how to do a 180 without falling through the roof. The sun was rising and so was the attic temp. I ever so slowly performed an old man magic act and managed my escape, while holding onto the drill and wiping sweat from my eyes. BTW, those headlight flashlights you can get at Rural King are worth every penny for probing around attics. So now The Boss has her party lights wired to the ceiling fan light switch. We now sit outside at night and never turn on the light underneath the ceiling fan.

I like to do electrical work, but I won't even change a damn light bulb with one of these or a volt meter. I absolutely despise getting popped. Having to test electric cattle fences with my fingers did that to me as a kid.

Those who can't do... Teach.

I think ive installed 4 in my current house. My favorite two were in my kids rooms, they have a vaulted ceiling and the very center of ceiling is maybe 3 ft wide and has to be at least 12 ft tall. That is where the hook up for light fixture/fan is. I had to take the doors off the hinges to fit my dining room table in their room to then put an 8 ft a-frame on top of the table to install them and it still barely reached. I got to do that twice. I didn't drink near as much installing those due to the altitude.

I never really thought they were that hard to install. Use the little "wire" hook to hang it from the box while wiring it up, and install the blades after the motor is hung.
