Ceiling fan question

embeth
12 years ago

I am trying to install ceiling fans (with lights in my living room). The room has been wired appropriately (ground, neutral, and two hot wires), and we have installed Lutron switches with controls for the light and fan speeds.

We did all of this before purchasing the fans, and now I am having trouble sorting out what fans I can actually install. All of the fans I am interested in appear to come with remote control! (which we don't want.)

After looking at some manuals online, I am wondering under what circumstances I can bypass the remote. In particular, some manuals show the remote receiver coming as a separate unit that gets installed on-site. If there are the correct number of wires coming off of the fan, can I just leave the remote receiver out and hook things directly to the wiring in the ceiling?
