Most people need tips when buying a ceiling fan as there are so many styles available. Hampton bay lighting is just one such brand, but what applies to Hampton Bay applies to all brands. To help you with the different options we have provided some information for you by Jsonline. Notice what they say about ceiling fans:

Hampton Bay Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans are the jacks-of-many-trades, useful in nearly every home space and in virtually every decor. They are also a necessary element for homeowners looking to cut utility bills. If you need a new ceiling fan, it’s easy to get lost in the many available options, which is why some tips from lighting professionals can be helpful.
The American Lighting Association offers the following tips about how to use ceiling fans, integrate them into a decorating scheme, and size them specifically for your rooms.
The many uses of ceiling fans
Ceiling fans serve three primary purposes; the first is, of course, air movement. “In summer, ceiling fans create a ‘wind chill’ effect that makes the room feel 6 to 8 degrees cooler than the actual ambient temperature,” says Joseph Rey-Barreau, AIA, IES, associate professor in the College of Design at the University of Kentucky. “In winter, the direction of the blade movement can be set to a counter-clockwise direction, which will help to move the hotter air at the ceiling toward the edges of the room and then downward. This helps to distribute the heated air more efficiently.”
So many people make mistakes when choosing a ceiling fan. And this applies to all ceiling fans. Jsonline makes this observation:
A common mistake made with ceiling fans
“The better quality fans do not cost much more than the most inexpensive fans,” says Rey-Barreau. “A consumer should purchase a fan that has a good motor, and that is energy efficient. Buying a very inexpensive fan can be problematic in terms of performance.” Be sure to purchase your fans from an ALA-member retailer. They carry high quality lighting and fan products, and have professionally trained staff available to help you select the best products for your home.
If you are feeling overwhelmed at the large array of options with Hampton Bay products then take heart. I felt the same until I found this great little website Hamptonbay-lighting.net with great tips and advice.

My ceiling fan has a reverse button on the remote control however when it is pressed it does not reverse direction. The small power light comes on when I press it but it just goes in the same direction. What am I doing wrong?
Could you please include a link to or the URL for the Hampton Bay Replacement Parts Page. I spent some time looking for it without any luck. Thanks.

I have a fan/light issue. i turn on the switch on my remote and wall. i hear a click in the light like it normally would do but nothing happens. the fan does not turn on either. The fuse is fine. It worked the day before. Nothing change. Neither the fan or light will work. can you tell me whats wrong? Thank you
Hi Marc,
Couple of sugestions for you to check out. First let’s check the battery in the remote itself-it might just be faulty and need replacing.That may be as far as you need to go. The other thing to check is inside of the
remote-take the cover off and you should see 4 small switches-1-4 these need to be set correctly-you can refer to the manuel on this. You also mentioned the fuse being fine-what about the circuit breaker in the main-this could be on a no-fault breaker and that could be tripped. If it is -just return that breaker to the normal position.
Let us know if you need additional help.

I am having issues with the ceiling fan Hampton Bay Windward 54 White- Model# 55296 in all 5 rooms, first the light in the middle stops working, tried to change the circular tube light, and replacing the circuit inside the fan, but no success
, and now two rooms fan are totally stop working, replaced remote batteries, soo frustrated and disopppinted with Hampton Bay products, Home Depot suggest me to replace all 5 rooms ceiling fan, I would appriciate if you could help me and suggest me what should I do…
Hi Usman
I can understand your frustration. This is not good. You might expect one fan to give you problems but five!
How long have you had the fans and do you have proof of purchase and a warranty.
If you have had them within the warranty time frame, i would take them back to the store you purchased them from
with the warranty and receipt of purchase and demand a replacement or refund.

Hello,
The lights on my Hampton Bay ceiling flicker; not constantly, but most of the time. I’ve different bulbs and different combinations of bulbs, and that didn’t help. Also, the remote control dimmer for the lights doesn’t really work – i.e. it just the lights off, or on in a very dim fashion.
The model # on the internal mechanism is UC 7051R, and the serial # is CEI 117305. I can’t seem to locate this online anywhere.
It’s a white ceiling fan, with 4 lights – each blade is approximately 20″ in length with rounded edges.
I’m wondering if I need to replace the “brains” and, if so, what I need to order, and from whom.
thanks,
Dave Schmalenberger

I need a replacement of my ceiling fan bulb cover. I bought one from my local Home Depot. I was told that it was a standard one but it does not fit. I tried finding parts in the Hamptom Bay website but I think it was a Home Depot one. They only showed me kits but I only need the bulb cover. Where can I find this item?
Hi Michele,

I too have a problem with my remotes and the ceiling fan. One day it worked and the next it didn’t. I checked the battery and it was good, but I replaced it anyway. The fan and lights all DOA. Then I realized the other fan across the hall had also stopped working.
Any ideas?
Hi Brenda-
Sorry for your problems and honestly from what you are describing-with some fans working one day and not the next and a fan across the hall working-leads me to think you may
have some electrical wiring problem rather than a fan problem. I suggest that you have a certified electrican check out those circuits.
Hope this solves the problem.
Ed
Thanks Ed. We may have to go that route. We were wondering about some kind of remote interference. The fans have no wall switch other than the remotes. The 2 remote ones upstairs both work. The 2 downstairs with remotes don’t. Everything else in the house is problem free, including the fans without remotes. The only thing that I can think of that has come into the house or changed is a new cable box and 2 remotes, and I don’t know why that would cause a problem.
I appreciate your input.
Brenda
