Hunter 51059 Low Profile IV 5-Blade Ceiling Fan, 42-Inch, White. Does it require installation of the wall control... or can I controlled by the chain

I use the fan with a wall switch & the pull-cord varies the speed. There is a there is a switch on the fan for forward or reverse. I do not see another place for an on/off cord, but perhaps the electrician had the choice of parts when he installed it. It's been a while...sorry.

You can hard wire the fan to the junction box on the ceiling. This allows you to use the chains for the light and the fan speed. You must enter the room and go to the fan to operate it. Also of note is the wireless remotes available that will operate the fan from where the remote is mounted, most times at the doorway of the room. Then there is no need for a switch wired to the house circuit. Hope that helps; and remember to turn off the circuit when installing.

you turn the power on using the wall switch but then control it using the chain

The fan has a pull chain for on/off and speed, also a toggle switch for direction reverse. Most all of the Hunter fans can go wall control or pull chain, unlike Casa Blanca fans.

This fan does not have automation controls. If you give power to the fan it comes on. If you give power to the light, that comes on. If you give power to the night light, that comes on. If you buy this fan, you will want to purchase any automation controls you install separately.

The fan itself can be installed but the cowling that conceals the wiring at the ceiling doesn't work right out of the box on a slanted ceiling. I have several Classics installed on slanted ceilings and had to create spacers to complete the installation. I have heard that Hunter has hanging system that addresses this, but I haven't seen it and believe that it only works with the lighter weight fans.

I don't think you have to attach the pull chains. I think it already comes with the fan. My contractor installed it though

No u need to use the remote to control the light and fan speed. It is the most easy way to install it. If u have two switches on the wall u don't need the remote. But most homes don't have that..

It does not come with a remote control. However, Hunter does offer an optional handheld remote control which can be installed on their fans. The receiving unit goes on the bottom of the fan housing and is about 3 inches long.

Hello. This ceiling fan does not include a wall mount or hand held remote. The speed may be controlled using the 3-Speed Pull Chain and also features a Reverse Slide Switch on the motor. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hello. I actually think that the wall control is the best way to control the fan. Rather than a remote (that could get misplaced), the wall control is a stationary control that allows you the same function. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help. -Beth

Our fan was put in a two story foyer so I actually rented scaffolding and had an electrician install the fan and wire. I don't think that there was any problem for the electrician and the size of the remote and reciver are not an issue. He installed the fan so a light could be added and controlled later. Frankly, I would recommend an electrician install for you unless you are a pretty good 'wire twister'. We love the fan...very quiet. We run it constantly and it is on a 5 foot drop pole...no movement ...no noise. definitely pleased with the fan!

This fan has pull-chain control (hanging strings as you call them.) One is to control motor on/off and speed and the other turns the light on/off. They are not visible in the photo but they are included.

I bought Hunter's "3-Speed Fan and Light Dimming Remote w/ CFL Toggle" for mine. You will need a 9v battery for it as it's not included. Easy to put in while installing the fan. I fastened the control unit to the ceiling plate with a wire tie. Easy to understand instructions and all wiring is clearly labeled. Be sure to set your codes for the module and remote before installing (keeps one remote from interfering with another.)Hunter 27206 Ceiling Fan and Light Universal Remote ControlJust be aware that they say not to use the fan's pull chains after installing the remote, so tuck them away or cut them off (just be sure fan is set to highest speed and that the light is set to 'on').

The fan offers a few ways to wire the light and fan. You can wire so that the wall switch turns on the fan AND light, then you use the two chains to select the light, the fan, or both. Another way to wire is use the wall switch to turn light on and off, then use the chain to turn on the fan when you need it. I only had one switch so I chose to wire the first way. Wiring instructions for the options I mentioned are included in the documentation.

Hunter has a wall switch designed for that reason. If you call them and give your fan model number they will give you all of the informationyou need.

No, this fan does not include a remote control It is operated with a pullchain per the manufacturer specifications.

It is operated from chains. However, they are very nicely placed. they come straight down in the center of the fan. I added a light, and it has openings for the chains. This is the most convenient one with chains I have owned.

I attached the pull chains and cut them down really short, I guess you could set up fan speed and then detach them using the switches to control everything though :0)

You do not have to use a Broan wall control. (This answer was provided by my partner, an electrician, who installed ours,)
