Remote control ceiling fans let you change speed and light without getting up.
Remotes and wall controls
Remote or wall control — which is better?
A wall control cannot be lost and suits a room where the fan is used the same way every day. A remote gives you speed and light control from bed or the sofa, which is what most people actually want. Several models support both, and that is the safest choice if you are unsure.
What happens if I lose the remote?
Replacements are available for most current models, and we stock them under fan accessories. Order the remote specified for your exact fan — a generic remote will usually not pair, and fitting a non-original one voids the warranty on the whole unit.
Will two fans in the same house interfere with each other?
They can, if both are on the default frequency and within range. Most fans let you change a DIP switch or re-pair the remote to a different code so each responds only to its own handset. Worth sorting at installation rather than afterwards.
Does the wall switch still work with a remote fan?
It isolates power to the fan, which the fan needs in order to receive remote commands. If the wall switch is off, the remote will not work. Most installations leave the switch permanently on and use the remote for everything.
