I just took down a 1988 Casablanca Fan. It’s heavy and solid. It even has the old fan control switch still. I’d feel bad trashing it because it still works just fine. Any recommendations on the best place to contact ceiling fan people in my area? I’d put it on facebook for free but I know there is a passionate community around these types of fans and I’d love to give it to someone in this community. I’m located in Western Massachusetts.

Opinions? Easy way to measure and do it myself?

I have a 2013 Hampton Bay fan. Lost remote, and the fan is currently in the OFF mode. I think I can remove the remote controller, and then I can turn the fan on and off by the pull chain.

I have done a lot of house electrical work myself, but just an amateur. I want to make sure I understand the wiring if I remove the controller. Can somebody assist on how I have to rewire it?

If anyone else out there has an old Panasonic WhisperFit EZ Dual Speed Ventilation Fan w/ Light that uses the CFL bulbs that have been discontinued, you can replace those with LEDs.

You just need GU24 LED bulbs that are less than 2" wide and 4-3/4" long. There are tons of options at cheaper prices that the one off-brand CFL you can find that advertises itself as a replacement for that particular set of models. You don't need to take my word for it either, just measure the dimensions of the CFL bulbs you are replacing to confirm the dimensions.

I spent an afternoon researching this to figure it out, bought some random brand 4k 1500lm LED bulbs that are smaller than the CFL dimensions, just installed them, and they work brilliantly. Hopefully, this can save a couple of homeowners a bit of time in the future.

Cover plate is not flush to the ceiling. How do I fix this
