Windward IV Ceiling Fan

I bought the Windward IV Ceiling Fan from Home Depot to replace the old, slow ceiling fan that came with my house’s master bedroom about 12 years ago. I have been very comfortably blown-away ever since. The old fan, for some reason just never did move much air. The other problem with the old fan was that the remote would receive interference and the light would randomly go off and on in the middle of the night. For that reason it stayed off. Having suffered 12 years of warm, uncomfortable summer nights in the upstairs bedroom, I thought it was finally time to do something about it.

Installation of the Windward IV Ceiling Fan

I won’t waste your time explaining how to install the Windward IV fan. There are plenty of good instructions. I put the video below on my laptop and followed it one step at a time.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that installing the fan is more complicated than it really is. Installation is every bit as easy as the video explained. There is one caveat and I will give you one huge tip that will save you time, money, headaches, and possibly even a bill from an electrician. Make sure you completely uninstall your old fan. I ended up with an extra red wire that I did not know what to do with. After trying several different wiring combinations, I could not get the fan blades to spin properly and the LED lights continually blinked. The electrician very thoroughly inspected the wiring inside the wall plate where the old fan was installed and noticed the remote was still connected. This completely explained why the wires didn’t match like they did on the video. He simply snipped the wires from the old remote and replaced it with the new Windward IV remote. In 20 minutes the fan and lights were working like a champ. Let me tell you what I really like about this fan.

Windward IV Benefits and Features

The Windward IV remote can be temperature controlled via a thermostat so it turns on or off based on the internal temperature of the room where the ceiling fan is located. There are three fan-speed settings which work like a toggle. The light, of course, can be turned off without use of the fans at all. Here’s a cool feature: The included LED lights are dimmable via the remote. To dim them, simply, press the light button and hold. The lights when turned off and back on will resume back to their previous brightness state.

Ultra Quiet Fan

The thing I might like best about the Windward IV fan is how quiet it is. Even on full speed, you can barely hear the motor above the sound of the air moving beneath its blades. It really is a high quality, smooth-operating, well-built ceiling fan. I highly recommend it.
