The ability to turn your ceiling fan on and off with a remote control just makes life that little bit easier and more convenient. Luckily it's not that hard to add a remote control to your fan, even if it didn't come with one originally. See step 1 below to get started.
Remove each blade by removing the screws securing them in place. Set them aside for later.
Remove the canopy by removing the screws securing it in place. Let it drop.
Disconnect the wires powering the fan. Remove the fan and set it aside.
Place the remote control receiver into the canopy. Connect the wires and secure them with wire nuts.
Re-connect the fan wires and secure them with wire nuts.
Slide the canopy up to the ceiling. Secure it with the old screws.
Secure each blade to the fan with the old screws.
Pull the fan's fan speed chain so that it is on high speed.
Insert batteries into the remote control.
Turn your fan on with your new remote control.
