Hunter ceiling fan installation in Lithia, FL
Hunter has been building ceiling fans for over 135 years, and its HunterSMART line brings Wi-Fi and voice control to that same engineering. We mount Hunter fans on properly rated boxes and get the wiring right for both standard and app-connected models, with same-day estimates and 24-hour emergency service.
What HunterSMART adds to a standard fan
App & voice control
Adjust fan speed, lighting, and schedules from your phone or through Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit.
SureSpeed & DC motors
Higher-efficiency motor options deliver stronger airflow while using meaningfully less energy than older AC fan motors.
Integrated LED lighting
Many models pair a dimmable LED light kit with the fan, controlled from the same app for a genuine two-in-one fixture.
Your wall switch has to stay on for app control to work
HunterSMART fans rely on a Wi-Fi receiver built into the fan itself to accept remote commands. If the wall switch controlling that circuit is turned off, the fan loses power entirely and won't respond to the app, voice commands, or schedules.
- We can wire the switch so it can't be accidentally flipped off, keeping the fan's remote control always available
- A wall-mountable remote is typically included as a more traditional on/off option alongside app control
- If you want a genuinely off wall switch, that's still possible, it just means the app won't reach the fan while the switch is off
We walk through this tradeoff with you before installation, so the setup matches how you'll actually use it.

Common questions about Hunter ceiling fans
What's the difference between SimpleConnect and HunterSMART?+
They're the same Wi-Fi smart fan platform. Hunter rebranded SimpleConnect to HunterSMART on many newer products, but the underlying app-based control and voice assistant compatibility work the same way.
Why won't my HunterSMART fan respond to the app?+
The most common cause is the wall switch controlling the fan's circuit being turned off, which cuts power to the fan's Wi-Fi receiver entirely. The switch needs to stay on for remote control to work.
Does Hunter work with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit?+
Yes, HunterSMART fans are among the few Wi-Fi ceiling fans compatible with all three major platforms, and were the first ceiling fans to earn Apple HomeKit certification.
Can I add a Hunter fan to an existing light fixture location?+
Only if that location has a fan-rated box, since standard light boxes generally aren't built to handle a fan's weight and motion. We check this before mounting anything.
What does the SureSpeed guarantee mean?+
It refers to Hunter's higher-performance DC motor fans, which are built to deliver significantly stronger airflow than typical competing models, on top of using less energy.
