EASIEST CEILING FAN EVER

In this video, Chris shows how he installed a Hunter Toledo 6-blade ceiling fan in his daughter's new townhouse. This fan is very easy to install because it has an integrated wiring harness that requires no splicing or wire nuts. Plus the blades snap on without the hassle of screws. Whether you've never installed a ceiling fan, or install them for a living, this fan will save you a lot of time and frustration.

I bought a similar one from Costco and was pleasantly surprised how easy they are to install the days. Nice video

[@handydadtv]

Thanks 😊

[@macsterguy]

Finally! Ceiling fans have come along way and easier to install!

[@handydadtv]

Yes indeed 👍🏻

[@noahschneider4711]

Great video! Made me feel better about installing 4 of these fans by myself. Took about an hour and a half!

[@handydadtv]

You bought 4 of the Toledo?

[@carolynpayne6096]

Good job

[@handydadtv]

Thanks 😊

[@AldoSubrotoPamudji]

That Fan blade is wonderfull just snap like that

[@handydadtv]

Yes it is.

[@user-jb9eb7re4o]

How do you get that globe off? I have one my fam wrapped the chain between the fixture and the blades. I need to disassemble it

[@handydadtv]

Push up slightly and turn counterclockwise.

[@JV-ro7vz]

I just installed one of these and im curious what the home automation solution is that you mentioned.

[@handydadtv]

I’ll be installing this a.co/d/09xMWHk5?tag=ha0d9f-20

[@toni46]

Do these "Hunter Express" fans with the easy wire connect work with, lets say, Lutron fan and light controls so that you can control the fan speed and light diming that way instead of having to use the pull chain or remote?

[@toni46]

A little bit more context about why I'm asking this. I called the Hunter to ask if the fan and light could be controlled by wall switches (both in general and the dimming/fan control aspect of the fan). He said no and that the only way my fan can be controlled is through the controller. (mine is the model 52758 which came with a controller not pull chain). I'm hoping he just didn't know what he was talking about. I like the fan but the controller is horrid.

[@handydadtv]

I can’t go against Hunter’s advice, but they are saying you can’t use BOTH. To use a wall control, you’d need to bypass the remote control module. If the remote control module is internal to the fan housing, you probably can’t bypass it. If it’s wired in-line above the ceiling mounting bracket (like most remote control fans), you can probably bypass it. Just understand you’re doing this at your own risk and will likely void the warranty.

[@toni46]

@@handydadtv Got it. The wiring harness of my fan is looks exactly like the fan you're installing and connects the same, but you're saying that if the control module is in the fan's body, then I probably won't be able to bypass it. Makes sense. However, I am able to turn the fan light on and off with one of the switches. I'm just not able to turn the fan on/off unless I use the remote or turn the switch off that gives power to the fixture. But, if I make power to the fixture hot all the time like you did then I should be able to use the switch to control the fan! I'll need to look more into this. Thanks

[@AntLive29]

Do you reckon a remote control is included?

[@handydadtv]

No remote with this model. I don’t recommend remotes living in a townhome because the remote channels are shared across all brands and your fans will be controlled by your neighbors. But a remote can easily be added to any fan: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH6mZ4iOpd1qo9k

[@ziadAlkhailani]

Couldn't you have attached the fan lights to the dimmer switch "the one to the left of the fan switch"? And then the fan could have its speed selector/ on off switch.

[@handydadtv]

Yes, if you didn’t want to control the fan light separately.

[@robertjoseph1592]

I think he meant move the wire to the recessed lights over to join up with the fan light on the simple switch. Then use the dimmer switch to provide variable speed to the fan.

[@robertjoseph1592]

Let me try again. Remove red wire from simple switch, and swap places with the black load wire on the dimmer switch. That provides variable speed for the fan, and the fan light goes on with the recessed lights.

[@handydadtv]

@robertjoseph1592 Right, it would mean joining the fan light to the ceiling lights so you couldn’t control the fan light separately. Then, you could either keep the toggle switch for the fan motor or swap it out for a fan speed control. (A lighting dimmer switch won’t work.)

[@shariberry3123]

Anytime I buy ceiling mounted lighting of any sort anymore, I look for products that say they are easy to install. Too complicated otherwise when I'm on a ladder.

[@handydadtv]

Good tip!

[@m3rdpwr]

So the electrician used one screw terminal, and one backstab. Not the proper way to do things.

[@handydadtv]

Not a code violation unfortunately.

[@m3rdpwr]

@@handydadtv I completely understand, I just look at it as, just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should. Haha

[@apex007]

For $200 I would have told the builder to go back and make the wiring on two switches. What a thief.

[@handydadtv]

LOL yeah
