    *Great unit that’s easy to install and use. It’s relatively quiet compared to window units and **Fastly.Cool** , and it cools down our whole living room, side room and bathroom; which is a large space for any unit to cool.*

    Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. kzread.infoUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.

    So, I have the directions that came with the fan BUT the unit I live in is 50 years old and there were a bunch of wires stuffed in the ceiling. After watching your video, I realized I had to dig, and I mean dig a black wire out. What you said about doing the 'hot' last made so much sense! All other videos I watched didn't mention it. Thanks for keeping it simple but smart! I just installed a ceiling fan (patting myself on my back)

    When you are buying parts for this project, don't forget box connectors (also called "Romex" connectors) for the ceiling box wire. This is an Electrical code MUST. A 1/2" connector (also called a 3/8" connector in some circles), is installed in the pancake box shown and the house wiring is pushed through it and secured snugly (don't over-tighten) with the screws provided.

    Ok i have a red, white, black, and copper wire from ceiling. On fan, there is blue, white, black and green. The switch has a dimmer. I hooked up red to blue, black to black, white to white, and copper to green. Lights(blue red) work but motor (black)does not. I disconnected the black from fan and tied to red and blue. Motor turns but loud humming noise. And it’s regulated with dimmer now. I know this isn’t the right way to connect fan but I’ve had the same problem in another room. I’m assuming the black wires are not live. Do I need an electrician????
