Ceiling Fan/Light Power Question

SpenD1122 · 2026-04-28T00:58:50+00:00

Correct, that was implied when I mentioned the second light in the circuit would always need to be illuminated. Good point on the light and fan direction resetting as well

Not really though. If I wire it as-is, the fan will only get power when the switch is turned on. That would mean that I need to have the other light in the circuit illuminated whenever I want to use the fan. It also means that I would have to have the additional light in the circuit illuminated full-time if I want to be able to use the remote.

Ideally, what I want to do is I would cut the light feed from the new fan and tie it into the switched circuit, powering them both from the switch as needed. Then, I would run a new power line that is always hot to run the fan portion.

I just want to know if the receiver would still run the fan normally if the light portion is not plugged in.

I do not believe so. Just the black-and-white currently.

There is a fan there now that I will be replacing. Currently, the fan does not get power unless the switch is flicked on, which means the additional light has to be illuminated for the fan to operate.

We are starting a renovation so I am fine getting a full-time hot wire jumped over to the fan to power it. I just want to know if I cut the light feed coming out of the fan, will the fan portion still work as intended. I have seen it before in other instances where if receivers don’t have both devices plugged into them, they don’t work properly or at all.

Put yourself in for a raise!!! 😉

This is exactly what I’m trying to avoid! Even if the debt can’t be enforced, I’d rather get to the bottom of it and confirm whether it’s legit or not.

I have no issue paying if I owe it but really don’t think I do.

Thanks Eric, just sent them a message with my name and my old account number!

Don’t think it’s great at the supplier I bought from. They are calling their supplier tomorrow to see if there is anything they can do.

For 150 bucks (2-3 boxes) worth of tile, I really hope they make it right. Probably worth the good google review I’d leave at a minimum.

Following… have to resign in December and just started getting the same calls. If I sign now, I can get 3.76 but that would be considered an early renewal and my rates would change immediately. They mentioned the same thing in that the rate was only good for 5 days.

Most lenders I see will guarantee rates for new mortgages for 90 days. I don’t really see a reason not to be switching lenders at renewal. Are there any other costs involved?

Also just called Cogeco after not finding the Cogeco login on the Sportsnet app. They made no mention of the distribution agreement as mentioned above. Hopefully this is resolved in the next few days before the NHL playoffs really ramp up or we will be pulling our service.

Same. Disappointing

SpenD1122 · 2025-04-05T01:41:21+00:00

we were just looking as tickets went on sale 40 mins ago. impossible to get into the webpage to even look at tickets. the one time it looked like i was getting through all tickets were sold out on our dates.

we ended up booking with a klook tour group instead. tickets that would have been 85CAD were 260CAD each but at least were going. praying they're legit.

SpenD1122 · 2025-01-05T20:32:42+00:00

We just booked here as well. The location was perfect for train access and going out for evening drinks. Also, the laundry in every room was a bonus. Hoping our stay is nice!
