If my old fan is on a wall control and my new fan is a remote fan,should I leave the old controller on?

[BuildDotCom]

@c903jerk Installing a new fan not according to manufacturer instructions can void the warranty. And potential become a hazard. But ultimately the decision is yours.

How do you install a ceiling fan or light in a spot that doesnt have the wiring there?

[BuildDotCom]

@asdfxyz1 We will be coming out with that video in the future. It's a little to complicated to explain here, other than speak to a licensed electrician, know your local building codes. And then install a new switch, if your box will fit it. If not install a new box. Run your wire up inside the wall through the attic. Then install a metal reinforced junction box in your desired location. Be sure to make all connections inside a box as well as use approved wire connectors.

@BuildDotCom You're being too diplomatic, tell him they are horrible and he should return it.

@cellphonzrock NO! There is a reason the people on here call them CRAPton. You just wasted your money. Watch some YT, videos everyone on here is replacing them because they SUCK!

[BuildDotCom]

@cellphonzrock It is great! Moves a lot of air.

[cellphonzrock]

@BuildDotCom Oh okay. How is the new fan? Is it powerful?

[BuildDotCom]

@cellphonzrock It sure was.

@BuildDotCom That old brownish ceiling fan you took down, is that a Hampton Bay?
