Hello Group.

I just installed a ceiling fan but the darn thing turns soooooo
sloooooow.
I called hunter tech support which is the worst i have ever seen.

When I saw the thread title, I thought you were trying to FIND the
world's slowest ceiling fan... My wife loves the fans, and I hate
them. I work in an over air-conditioned environment and have cold air
blowing on me all day. I'd like some relief from that at home, but
the missus insists on having fans running all the time. I was hoping
to find out that there is a really slow fan out there that I could
tolerate. Maybe I should just yank the capacitors on the ones we
have.

or you can take lessons from me on wiring a ceiling fan .
to be honest with you i am still wondering about the ground wire. I am
not
sure
if it is right.
i think ceiling fans work great with an air conditioner even if it is set
on
the slowest speed.
i love it and once i find out about the ground wire i will be putting the
other one up in the bedroom.
i can understand your wanting to get away from it from time to time.
right
now i have the AC and fan on the lowest settings.

Actually, I have 4 ceiling fans in my home and none are grounded,
The guy that installed the electric box in the ceiling only used 2
conductor wire (black and white). I tied into that - white to white
and black to black.

When I wired up the fans, I just wired the green ground wire on the
fans to the small screw on the electric box in the ceiling. Maybe
someday I will run a ground wire from the boxes to the circuit breaker
box, but the fans work fine without one.

You don't need the ground wire connected to anything to make your
fans work.

Thanks Jim.

the fan does work fine. i was just worried about safety issues i may have
been unaware of.
fan works great - no wobble even .
looks like tomorrow the bedroom fan is going up .
