Doesn't look like they come with a remote. Cost much more for installation without remote.
Why does it cost much more for installation without remote?
I think Jklaro is trying to say if you dont have the remote, you have to get an electrician to wire up the wall plate with speed control instead. I usually get both remote and wall plate but I guess remote only makes sense when trying to save cash.
Sure but if you don't want a remote it's cheaper. He said it costs much more for installation without a remote which is wrong.
@Maverick-au: The extra cost of the remote might negate the extra cost of wiring in the wall plate. I guess it depends how the electrician charges.
Not really. The leccy has to wire the fan somehow, the cheapest option is via a light switch. All you'll need is a new twin (2 gang) wall plate (fan controller + light switch) for a non-remote fan. IIRC it took the 'leccy very little extra time to wire it with the controller.
We got a hunter installed about 3-4 years ago, and now the thing spins so slowly on the lowest speed that you'd probably get more air blowing it

A dead capacitor/s is very common and easy to fix if you or someone you know can use a soldering iron.
Same again for myself, replaced the capacitor and you getanother 3 -4 years. Just replaced a 10yr old 1400mm span one last month as it was starting to vibrate / swing a bit wilder on the higher settings.
I have smaller 1200mm span in the bedrooms and they are still going well after 10yr..might be just the bigger fans with the issues ?
Anyone else have got a ceiling fan such as these as I am wanting to install at least a couple in my house. Would love some more feedback.
I brought 2 Intercept II without light and 1 With Light - Approx 2 Years ago. Mounted by Me and used a Electrician for wiring (No Remote)
My Thoughts - If your using the light from fan to light up room - Not bright enough
I don't recommend these for bedrooms - Fan>
1. Motor is noisy
2. air movement is noisy
3. the harmonics from electric grid is louder than our cheapo ceiling fan.
4. Timber blades are warping
I would never buy Intercept II again -
I cannot comment on the other fans.
I have heard the DC motors do not suffer from Off peak Power line noise (Or what ever it is called)
Cheers
Pretty sure there was a post on here a while ago where someone mentioned they were fan installers and listed brands they would recommend. Been trying to find it, but no luck
Thanks OP, been looking for a replacement for a noisy fan. Leccy recommended Hunter Pacific.
FYI the Revolution 2 is on the Choice recommended list at 84%. And a 90% bedroom score. Looks like a real bargain, if black is your thing.
Saw that Aldi has their ceiling fans on reduced price now. Down to 59 (I think….)
Bunnings buy these fans from Crestwinds. They didn't have stock but they placed the order & price beat as well.
Is this company reliable? They only have the hunter pacific fans…
I had some Mercator DC fans installed. Super quiet, 6 speed, low profile with remote. Very happy with them.
Time to pricematch at bunnings
