Minka Aire Concept II Ceiling Fan Installation

Learn how to install a Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan in your home from Del Mar Fans & Lighting. Our Minka Aire expert walks viewers through each step of the flush mount installation process. The Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan install requires 75 percent less time than traditional hugger ceiling fans.

For the Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan install, you will need a Phillips-head screwdriver, a straight-slot screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, and a ladder. Confirm all ceiling parts are included in the original packaging and use the owner's manual as a guide. Turn off power at the circuit breaker box.

To begin the Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan install, secure the hanger bracket to the junction box. Hang the motor housing from the hook on the bracket. Insert the receiver unit into the bracket. Connect the ceiling fan, receiver and house supply wires with the plastic wire nuts provided. Secure motor housing to the hanger bracket with the screws provided. Insert the fan blades into the slots on the motor housing. Install the 100-watt light bulb and glass shade to the motor housing.

*Love it! Keeps the room very **Fastly.Cool** . The manual states it comes with a year warranty and 5 year part replacement. The compressor makes the typical sound...small price to pay for AC.*

Watched this video and then went to install my new Concept II fan. Had to take an old ceiling fan down first, then installed the new fan. Did it all within forty minutes and it looks great and it works! Was careful to give the glass light cover a 1/4 inch turn in hopes I can remove it if the need should arise. I am a 62 year old female and cannot believe I did this all by myself. Do admit that I texted my sister to let her know if she did not hear from me in an hour to call for help! Was very simple but the motor was heavy for me. Thanks for the video!

Thank you, Zachary! Installing a ceiling fan definitely doesn't have to be difficult. As long as you have the right tools in front of you and can follow the step by step directions, you should be enjoying the cool breeze of your fan in no time! We hope that our how-to videos can help everyone to see how simple of a task it can be!

Hello Meghan - The red wire is hot as well. The Concept II fan only requires one hot wire to successfully install. Since you have 2 switches at the wall, you may opt to use both. Thereby, there would be able to turn the light ON or OFF as you enter or exit the room. To accomplish this, simply detach the "blue" wire from the factory installed receiver and connect directly to the "red" wire. The only drawback from this application is the inability to dim the lights since the blue wire is NOT routed through the receiver. We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your comment, Douglas! We are so glad that you enjoyed it!

Thank you Sir, your demo was helpful of how to change the Minka Aire Concept II flush mount bulb

Jim Conner - Are you trying to program that remote control for another fan? Other than the one the fan in the other room that you are receiving a signal for? If this is the case, you have to make sure that the fan that you are trying to program with the remote control has a different frequency than the fan in the other room. You will have to locate the receiver in the fans canopy and create a new frequency combination using the dip switch settings. You will then have to change the dip switch settings in the remote to match your fans dip switch settings. You should then be able to program the remote for that particular fan without receiving a signal for the fan in the other room. Please let us know if this is not what you are referring to and if you still need additional help! Thank you!

According to the Minka Aire Concept Installation instructions, your fan should have come with a blade removal tool. It looks like a circle attached to a hooked piece of metal. You can remove the two screws, washers and rubber covers from the motor housing. Then remove the blades by pulling the safety pin via the opening above the blade in the motor housing. We hope this helps!

I bought 3 of these 2 years ago - great products. One of them recently has not worked with remote - I could previously reset the remote/receiver in the normal way. Now, the only way to get communication is to take fan down and rescrew connections, put it back up, and it resets when I push stop button in normal way. This lasts for a couple hours and then no communication again. Does this mean that the green receiver is going and needs replacement? Have replaced battery, tried other pin combinations.

There a so many types of washers provided with this fan. I know the directions mention using the a lock washer and a star washer to connect the mounting bracket to the ceiling fan box, but what are all the other washers used for?

Hi I also have the additional red wire coming from ceiling not shown in the video. My prewired room has 2 switches for fan so you can control light dimming and fan speed independently with 2 knobs. My concept 2 also has a remote control with it. How do I wire this fan so I have full control at the wall and on the remote?

Cool video I have one but I wonder what year they where made

[randysmith]

Great fan and easy to install, a blade removal video would help owners

When re installing fan blades after the fan has been in use - use a little 3 in 1 oil on the blade itself on the slot and hole on the blade not the fan shroudding. Makes it a whole lot easier to insert the fan blades...

[prabhagopinath]

Excellent video. I need to replace the receiver in one of my fans. Any tips on how to dismount the blades so I can drop the fan and hang it by the hangar to access the receiver. thanks

I have two of these fans. Was going to install myself. A bit cumbersome! But this demo would have been very helpful. Our joist box needed to be changed. Too small, too old (1988).

I have 4 minka fans. On one of them, the remote no longer works. I think it is an older minka fan. How do I access the dip switches so I can reconnect my remote? I've tried the hack wherein one turns off the fan at the breaker and then holds the stop button for ten seconds but it doesn't work with this fan.

Can the light be replaced for the new led plate in these old Concept 2?

[shardt]

I love my 2 fans...BUT...I use a remote to turn them off and on....Altho I use the recommended battery size, with 3/4 days, I have to install a new battery. What am I doing wrong? I have a 3rd one in NY, and it holds a charge for months!
