One of the most convenient aspects of a Hunter fan is the modularity of the mechanisms. Around the motor and its casing, a variety of stylish accessories can be attached.
Starting at the top of the unit, the first of the Hunter ceiling fan parts is called the mount. The mount is a metal fixture styled to match the body of the fan. It is bowl-shaped and attached directly to brackets in the ceiling. The purpose of the mount is to cover the electrical work within the roof and conceal the hole needed for it to run through. Though most fans come with their own matching mount, there are selections of designs that can be installed for vaulted ceilings.
The next, and possibly largest, of the Hunter ceiling fan parts is the downrod. A downrod is a tube made of metal that stretches from the mounting on the roof to down to the fan itself. It acts both as a support and as a way to contain and hide the electrical wiring. Hunter offers downrods in a many of finishes and sizes, some as long as 15’.
The next of the Hunter ceiling fan parts is optional. Lighting fixtures are offered that can be attached to the fan in the center so the lights hang below the blades. There are a wide variety of styles available, from modern bullet lights to glass dome lights. However, unlike the downrods, it is not possible to select different finishes for different models.
There is also an opportunity to customize or buy different sets of blades for the fan. Unlike the very classical metal finishes provided for other Hunter ceiling fan parts, there are actually some very quirky blade options. There are beautiful hand-carved wooden blades available, as well as blades that are painted like surfboards, or with children’s designs on them. Because of the modularity of the fans, this makes it possible to install a fan in a child’s nursery and upgrade the blades as they mature.
The final of the Hunter ceiling fan parts is the control unit. The control unit is mounted on the wall near the fan, like a light switch. It is used to control the speed of the fan. There are a range of options here, but the selection of styles is very limited. The choice comes down to a panel with a twisting dial, push buttons, or a series of sliders. There is also an option to install a remote sensor and just use a separate remote control to operate the fan.
In all, Hunter Fan has learned how to make a line of useful, stylish fans that have developed over the many years it has been in business. With a wide selection of finishes, accessories, and basic packages, Hunter fans are a proven choice for improving any home.
