    Default Ceiling fan in the addition


    I like the industrial look for this room. Looked far and wide for fans with multiple fan units. The majority built now are remote controlled or blue tooth for the smart phones. Not happening around here - no way. All light circuits in this house that I have wired myself have three-way switches to be controlled from more than one place, and on a separate circuits. Lights should always be on a separate circuit. Fans run 24/7. Downstairs with 14 foot ceilings and upstairs with 22 foot ceilings.

    Looks good......but it would really be neat with a third motor to slowly revolve the whole unit while the two fans are running. It could be done with a gear motor.

    That's true. Wanted one like that, looked at them. Several in in fact. Apparently now a days everyone wants every thing running off the smart phone - not going to happen around here. Some folks even sit on the couch watching reality television while their plug-in smoker does it thing. Just sayin...

    The individual fans rotate 90° from horizontal, which looks cool. When I did that though the light was "chopped" against the walls if you know what I mean - like an old film projector. The Hunter fans are top notch, heavy duty, and very well made. This is one that has been going 24/7 probably close to 20 years:

    Tracker, I like that setup. Never seen a double fan like that. Where in the world did you find it? Did you have to special order it?

    Sure did through Lowe's. There are some really cool one's out there, but require a remote and won't work off a three-way switch. Lowe's can get you anything you want, just name it. Provide a manufacturer and part number, it's a done deal. 5 % off on everything with a contractor's card. Just make sure the monthly balance is paid off in full, otherwise the interest rate is outrageous. Can't stand paying interest on anything.
