Ceiling fans can be wired with many different kinds of switches. The type of switch required depends on how the fan is being used, and the wiring configuration that is required in order to operate the light and/or fan.
A simple way to control a fan is with a wall switch that has both a standard on/off switch as well as a dimmer built in. The 17001-F3 model from ENERLITES is a great option for this, and swaps out the standard pull chain for sleek, user friendly slider controls that allow you to easily move between 3 quiet fan speeds and a full range of lighting levels. This feature also helps conserve energy by keeping the fan and lights at lower levels when they are not in use, making them more efficient.
The other popular way to control a fan is with an independent remote control. This is the most flexible option, and allows you to adjust both the fan speed and the direction of the blades from anywhere in the room. Many models come with wall mounts to keep the remote conveniently near the door, so that it is easier to remember to turn off the fan when you leave the room.
There are many different smart ceiling fan switches available on the market, which offer new features like Alexa or Siri integration, without the need for any extra or complex wiring. The Lutron model is a great example of this, and is relatively inexpensive for the level of functionality that it provides.
