Wow!!! I’m so glad I watched this. I’ve I installed many a ceiling fan, mostly for family and friends and I’ve never seen those awesome “wire” nuts!!! How friggin cool are those! I need those in my arsenal. They look extremely handy and better than reg wire nuts. Thanks my man 👍🏻

PRO TIP::: When possible put together the blades, light onto the ceiling fan on the floor first, instead of climbing up and down each time, it could be dangerous that high. Do as much as possible on the floor.

I appreciate your comment. I think it's easier for me to carry multiple light items up the ladder than one large unwieldy assembly.

Great video. But, always a but, should you had twist the rod until it snaps onto the the proper cavity of the ceiling bracket.

My question is how do you bring that 14 ft ladder home 😅?

@JustEnjoyingLife73 9 ай бұрын

Great question! I have one of those rooftop cargo carriers, so I just mount the two bars on the roof rack of my Odyssey, and I just put the ladder on top of the bars.

Nice video. Do you know if you can add an extended downrod to any hunter ceiling fan?

@JustEnjoyingLife73 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, sorry about the delay. You should be able to. You would just need to extend the wires.

The mounting bracket opening is supposed to face to the peak of the ceiling. Have you had any wobbling or any problems since you mounted yours sideways instead? I'm asking because I'm considering returning mine because I can't mount it properly.

What do you mean? My ceiling is flat.

@davidlanham5914 2 жыл бұрын

What size step ladder did you need to reach your ceiling? The tallest ladder I have is 12', and I'm unable to reach the upper downrod (6') attachment. So, I'm hoping I can just remove my dead Hunter fan from the lower end of the downrod, and install my replacement Hunter fan without having to replace the upper bracket.

I used a 14 foot ladder for the 16 foot ceiling. Menards rents out ladders. Lowes probably does too.

I was wondering if you were able to just attach the fan to the existing downrod?I have a 20 foot ceiling in my family room and can't reach the top.Having somewhere to put the excess wire seems like would be a problem.

I am trying to install hunter ceiling fan with downrod and I do not have the downrod accessories (hanging rod brockets). When can I I purchase the rownrod accessories (brackets)?

You mean something like this canopy bracket? www.ebay.com/itm/114742900191?hash=item1ab735b5df:g:U8wAAOSwPPBgXqWK

Hi. Is this normal that the downrod is not fully screwed into the base, part of a threath is visible outside? Doesn't look safe.

@JustEnjoyingLife73 2 ай бұрын

It's fully threaded. The set screw will also prevent it from coming undone.

Hi Thanks for the video, It helped with the down-rod install that I needed to do. The only question I have is you capped the blue wire on the ceiling but used the remote control? where did you install the receiver for the remote?

@JustEnjoyingLife73 Жыл бұрын

Glad to hear it was helpful! The remote receiver is part of the fan, so I didn't need to install anything additional.

@johnnytranna Жыл бұрын

Ok, thank you. I see you posted this a year ago, so they must have made a chamge. The remote is now separated and needs to be installed on the ceiling at the wiring junction.

Hi You can tug the receiver in the ceiling bracket with the blue wire connected if use a dual light/fan switch.

@vanderhoff66fu Жыл бұрын

I'm using the supplied downrod but the threads don't go all the way down. Also I don't have a hole for the set screw is this safe?

@JustEnjoyingLife73 Жыл бұрын

Is it a different brand? I would think that as long as you have several threads of engagement and as long as the downrod isn't stuck, you should be fine. Does it not have a set screw at all or just not a hole on the threads of the rod? Does the manual say anything about the set screw?

What model

@asvpab Жыл бұрын

Where did you hide the controller receiver inside of the fan?

@JustEnjoyingLife73 Жыл бұрын

I didn't have to hide it. It's part of the fan, so it's inside.

What size down rod are you using?

Are you looking for the length? It's 3 feet long.

Hola he comprado otro Hunter Exeter Costco parecido y me viene con dos tornillos chicos de diferentes tamaños y una arandela, pero en las instrucciones no me indica para que son, el ventilador esta completamente montado y funciona perfectamente, pero tengo la duda a alguien le ha pasado lo mismo?

Maybe you could try contacting Hunter to see if they can help.
