Ceiling Fans

Archive for the ‘Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan’ Category

my brand new ceiling fan fell off the ceiling (don’t ask) and broke right where the blade attaches to the fan. It is a metal fan blade attachment that broke. its not a normal looking piece and it sort of art deco looking. i asked someone to weld it, he told me he couldn’t since it was chrome. i’ve looked high and low and can’t find the part. the website tells me to go to home depot (apparently thier only retailer). home depot only sells standard fan blade attachments and not one like this one. anyone know what i could do besides buying another fan? it was a pretty expensive fan and was beautiful.

Home Depot is the worst when it comes to customer service! Have you tried Expo? It’s an upscale store operated by Home Depot. Even if they don’t have the part, they can order it for you. Ask them to do this. They have the catalogues and you can look through them yourself. Good luck!

I’m installing a Hampton Bay ceiling fan in my garage. The fan has a light kit and comes with a wireless remote controller that operates the fan and the light. I plan to remove the attached light kit and use the wires to connect to a ceiling mounted fluorescent fixture I’d like to install near the fan. Since I can’t easily hardwire a wall switch to operate the new light without poking a lot of holes in the drywall, I’d like to use the remote controller to operate the light. The remote controller says "incandescent only". But if the controller only turns the light on/off, with no dimming capability, is there any reason why it wouldn’t work with the fluorescent light? Would doing so damage the controller or cause some other problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

I don’t think it will damage anything and it should work as long as there is no dimmer. The only problem I can see is the wiring may not be heavy enough in the fan light. A lot of fan lights say 15 watt max or something like that. If it doesn’t work you can always buy Home decor conduit that goes on the outside of the wall and run a wire for a switch off of the wire that feeds the fan to operate your light.
