*Easy install, so far Works great **Fastly.Cool** !*
Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. czcams.com/users/postUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.
Hey bro just wanted to say thank you all the way from spanaway Washington.. thank you for walking me through the process of installing my ceiling fan video was simple easy to understand.. at first blu and black wire scared me but you explain it very well now jobs is done.... thank you both my 13yr old and 6yr old learned how to install our own ceiling fan together as a family project
Thanks for the info. I've installed dozens of ceiling fans, but never a downrod extension. You helped me a lot, dude!
I’m glad I could help Bill! Stay tuned for more videos!
You are a real natural at explaining things. Really appreciate the great video and also your speaking clearly and slowly. Great teacher. Thanks!
I appreciate that Ron. Thanks for watching!
I bought an older home with an improperly installed fan. This video saved me lots of time and trouble. Thank you!
You are welcome. Thanks a lot for letting me know it was horrible. Be sure to subscribe!
I watched a couple of other videos and I'm so happy I found your channel..this was so much better detailed and thank you for showing everything
I'm taking down old fans right now so this video is very helpful for the reverse process too! Thanks so much!!!
I have a project ahead of me to replace a stock light/fan and install a Harbor Breeze fan...your video just gave me hope after watching some other ones. Day later now: done job. Hardest part was taking down the old builders original. Thanks again for your help!
very helpful, especially getting the long downrod part together, thanks!
You are welcome. I’m glad you found a video help. Thanks for watching!
You literally saved my life! Had the exact same fan and down rod and got a little overwhelmed when I unpacked everything.
John Fitzgerald I’m glad the video helped you out! That’s not too bad to do after you know how to do it. Good luck on your projects!
The Excellent Laborer you definitely made it so much easier to follow than the box directions. I appreciate the time you took to help a novice out like me!
Found my mistake. Bought the flush. Thanks for this! Saved me a headache.
Glad I could help!
I was able to change my ceiling fan and add a downrod thank you for your video it was extremely helpful!!!
Great! I’m glad I could help 😎🔨
Thanks for your video and detailed instructions as I was unfamiliar with the new types of hanging celling fans ,especially with down rods, and it's what I thought that the bulb shape at top of rod must fit in socket so it's safely secure and your hands are free to do the wiring.
You are welcome! I’m glad I could help. If you have never done it before it probably was pretty helpful. Thanks for watching!
Hello Josh. I might have already left a comment in the past, but let me just say. I have used this video on multiple occasions installing this brand of a ceiling fan. You did an awesome job. And even though there are other videos out there, it's just something about yours. Again... Awesome job~!
Thanks a lot Mark for taking time out of your day to let me know! Viewers like yourself is what keeps me pressing that record button every week. I want to wish you luck with all of your future projects! Take care!!
Thanks! I purchased this fan and your video helped tremendously.
Great video! Purchased a used one and this video help tremendously.
I am so glad I was able to help you! I appreciate the comment also. Be sure to subscribe!
Thank you for an excellent explanation of how to install this down rod extension!
Thank you Sir, you really helped me get through the downrod adaption.
You’re welcome Perry! I’m glad I could help you. Good luck with your project!
Nice job. Good explanation of steps. Thanks for posting!
Thanks. I’m glad it was helpful for you!
After 6 useless video yours helped me because you assume the viewer doesn't know how to do this. I mistakenly took off the screws on the downrod without noting which screws went where. Dumbest thing was to put all screws in one place then could not remember which one went where. Thanx for showing the rod as it was before removing the screws.
I’m glad I could help you get your fan project done! They can be a pain sometimes!
Neat house! I like the cathedral look to it too! That ceiling fan looks perfect for the space! Although I'm not a fan of modern houses, i think this one looks amazing
Thank you! I do like cathedral ceilings as well. I hope you found this video helpful!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Your welcome!
Daaammmmmnnn I wish I had found this video first. The only videos I was finding was how to install this fixture. But not the rod extension
My big question: how do you determine how long the downrod & fan width needs to be to make sure the blades don’t hit the ceiling? My cathedral ceiling is roughed in for a light and I know it’ll need a downrod. Just need help with the length. Thanks!
Enjoying the videos Josh!
Thanks friend. Building your own house is rewarding but it’s not easy! Thanks for watching
Thanks just what i needed.
No problem! Be sure to subscribe and more to come.
Quick question Was the house pre wired like that where you had a 12-2 from the 3 way system for the light and a 12-2 for the fan or did you wire it like that
Yes, I did the wiring with the 12/3
Great filming and instructions. Thanks
I love this fan
Thank you! Great explanation!
I’m glad I could help you. Thanks for watching!
I have a down rod extension but it's mounted to a flat ceiling, so the fan moves like a pendulum when on. Do I need to buy another part to replace the down rod?
More than likely you need to get the balancing weights that attach the fan blades. I don’t have too much experience with the balancing weights but I have seen it done in the past
Awesome. Thanks for a great informative video!!
You are welcome Stefan!
I’ve got a similar fan but because of the angle of my ceiling the canopy wouldn’t attach. So I had to get a canopy adapter kit which has a larger opening for the downrod to accommodate the angle. The problem is that neither the bracket nor the plastic ball that come with the canopy adapter kit have a place to screw in a ground wire. The directions say to screw the ground wire into the small hole in the downrod, but my downroad only had the two big holes for the metal peg to go through it.
nice video! I wonder how to install downrod fan on a sloped ceiling, do we need a particular bracket?
The ceiling fan will come with the bracket. You do not need a special mounting bracket. Thanks for watching!
Coastal Creek by Harbor Breeze: The glass globe has two holes drilled in it about 1 inch apart. The larger hole is for slipping the the mounting post. The smaller hole is for the pull chain activating the fan switch. The slightest pressure as the chain pulls through the globe activating the fan will cause the globe to crack and become useless. Mine cracked the first day after I installed the fan. This is a design flaw and anyone should know when you put holes in thin glass that close together a crack is likely to develop.
I see what you are saying. The chain could potentially crack the globe if pulled hard on the wrong angle.
Great video. Thanks a lot.
How long is that rod?
My builder told me that my fan is going to wobble and knock because he put in a 36 inch rod. I call lies, but what is your thought?
Great video thanks.
Thanks for the help.
No problem Nick!
thanks for the help!
Thanks
excellent video. Cut down a lot of time
Thanks! I’m glad I could help!
Hands down the best video out there for a Harbor Breeze fan install
Charleston Booth Team Thanks a lot for the comment. I hope it helps a lot of people. Share it!
Make sure to attach your fan blade screws tightly because they will come lose and stop the fan motor from working.
What is the fix for an old remote controlled fan works but only at a very slow speed?
I’m not sure to be honest
Great vid...but why is the downrod threaded at one end??
Hey Jeffrey! This rod came threaded but does not serve a purpose for this installation. It’s a universal Rod. So maybe some fans require the threads. Thanks for watching!
I have never installed a ceiling fan and after watching your video it seems pretty easy, kinda, lol. I also have to take down my old one and I hope I can use the down rod from it on my new one? Thank you!
Dana Tate I’m glad the video is helping you. Yes you could probably use the downrod from the old fan. Just see if it adapts. Be sure to subscribe!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Awesome! Thank you and I sure will! 😘

Dana Tate Be sure to ring the bell so you get a notification every time I release a new video 😉
GREAT VIDEO! 👍 you're very good at explaining well and demonstrating. Can you be hired out? 😉 Thanks bro!
I don’t know why my FAN chain is not able to pull from the chain. It’s like sticky and jammed. I always have to turn the fan off and pull it from the base of the string
I noticed the downrod is threaded, why is that if you didn't use the threading?
Why a pull chain fan... How you gonna reach the chains?
Why can’t my down rod connect to my fan?
Why the hell is the longer down rod threaded?
Bro skipped the part about reassembling the rod
Just put it back together in the reverse order you took the other one apart.
should have shown how you mounted fan box. video worthless
