Ceiling Fan Remote Controls

Why get a remote control for ceiling fans?

Today, we're used to controlling almost every household appliance and fixture with the simple touch of a button. Some ceiling fans come with remotes, while others do not – but you can still bring some of that high-tech innovation to any Hunter fan by using our compatible ceiling fan remote accessories. Find the right Hunter or Casablanca fan remote to make your fans both easier to operate and more energy-efficient.

How Do Ceiling Fan Remote Controls Work?

A ceiling fan remote control communicates with a compatible receiver installed in or connected to the ceiling fan. When you press a button on the handheld remote, the receiver gets the signal and tells the fan to perform the selected function, such as changing speeds, reversing direction, or adjusting the light brightness.

Some remote kits include both the handheld remote and receiver, while other replacement remotes may be sold without a receiver. If you're adding remote functionality to a fan that didn't previously have it, you may need a compatible receiver in addition to the remote.

What types of fan controls are there?

Lost ceiling fan remote? Don’t have one but want the convenience of wireless fan control? At Hunter, we offer universal fan remotes and replacement ceiling fan remote control options. Learn more about the various kinds of controls available below.

Fan wall controls & wall-mounted fan remotes

Instantly make any room in your home more functional with an easy-to-install, ceiling fan remote control wall mount. A ceiling fan wall switch plate may contain buttons, slides, or twistable knobs depending on the design. If you have hand-held fan remotes, you can install a wall-mounted cradle to the wall to hold your remote when it’s not in use so you always know where to find it!

Our convenient ceiling fan wall switch and remote selection lets you set your fan at an optimum speed, adjust lighting, and even change the direction of the spin – without a ladder.

Hand-held ceiling fan remotes

Gone are the days of awkwardly grasping for the pull chain on traditional fans. Use a universal ceiling fan remote to adjust your fan's settings from anywhere in the room. Pairing hand-held remote controls with your fan lets you increase or decrease the speed and change the spin direction with just a few clicks. With select models, you can also use the fan and light remote to dim your lights and set the perfect mood. Each ceiling fan remote control features a sleek, modern aesthetic and is designed with the same attention to detail and top-notch craftsmanship you expect from the Hunter name.

Replacing a Lost or Broken Ceiling Fan Remote

A lost or broken remote doesn't necessarily mean you're stuck using your ceiling fan without convenient controls. A compatible replacement or universal fan remote control can help restore the functionality you use every day.

Start by identifying your ceiling fan model and determining whether the existing receiver is still installed and functioning. In some cases, you may only need a compatible replacement handheld remote. In others, replacing both the remote and receiver may be the best option.

Always review the compatibility and pairing instructions for your specific fan, remote, and receiver before installation. Once properly paired, your new ceiling fan remote can put convenient control of your fan's speed, lighting, and other compatible functions right back in your hand.

Ceiling Fan Remote or Wall Control: Which Is Right for You?

Both remote controls and wall controls offer convenient alternatives to traditional pull chains. A handheld remote lets you adjust your ceiling fan from virtually anywhere in the room, making it especially convenient for bedrooms, living rooms, and spaces with high ceilings.

A wall control provides a dedicated location for operating your fan, so you don't have to worry about misplacing a handheld remote. Some homeowners prefer having both options when their ceiling fan supports them.

The best choice depends on your fan's compatibility, how you use the room, and how you prefer to control your comfort. Whichever option works for your space, Hunter offers ceiling fan controls designed to make adjusting your fan simple and convenient.
