Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 3-speed and a 4-speed fan control?

A 3-speed switch offers Low, Medium, and High settings. A 4-speed fan control adds an extra speed level, allowing for finer adjustment of the airflow to suit your preference.

Can I use a regular light switch for a fan?

You can use a standard on/off switch to turn a fan on or off at the pull-chain's preset speed. However, you should never use a light dimmer to control fan speed, as it will damage the motor.

What is a fan/dimmer switch?

A fan/dimmer switch is a dual-function control that features a fan speed adjuster and a light dimmer in one unit. This allows you to set both the breeze and the light level from one electrical box.

Why does my fan hum when I use a wall control?

Humming is usually caused by using a "fully variable" control rather than a stepped 3 speed fan switch. Stepped controls use capacitors to change speeds silently, whereas variable controls can cause electrical noise.

What is a fan/light combo switch?

This is a standard stacked switch that provides two independent on/off toggles or rockers—one for the fan and one for the light—without the dimming or speed-stepping features.
