Can this fan be hard Wired?or can it be mounted over an outlet so the cord is hidden?

I would never recommend installing anything over the top of an outlet. And I would think that hardwiring would negate any warranty. Mine is mounted above an outlet and the wiring is bundled to the side to minimize footprint and improve aesthetics.

You can cut the cord and hard wire it or you can mount it over an outlet. Fan works great!

You could do that, if you are going to go that route. ?, I would buy a quality extension cord and wire it in to the thermostat box on the fan. I put mine on a light switch so I could turn it off in the winter months.

Apparently yes. Manufacturer says, "When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. That means yes (I think). Also, another reviewer installed it in a wall to the outside. Don't know about that myself - I mounted mine in a previous ceiling location, but it's a very good, very quiet fan.

I haven't done it yet, but it should not be difficult at all. The fans are mounted to a hinged plate that opens. You can completely remove them from the unit. They are plugged into the power supply, not hard wired. So you simply unplug them, release a couple of latches that secure them to the hinged plate and take them out.

I suppose, if you really know what you're doing. There is a 2-conductor wire that exits the bottom of the metal cabinet. If you punch the appropriate size hole for an EMT or plastic conduit I suppose you "could" hard wire it. Seems like a lot of trouble. If you want to hide the cord you could use a piece of paintable plastic wire mold--the kind used to hide wall-mounted TV cords. Another option would be to install an outlet to the side of the metal cabinet where the wood frame would conceal it, or use a "clock outlet" which is recessed, mounted directly behind the unit.

It has a standard 110V plug - so, as long as there is an outlet nearby, it is just like plugging in a lamp.We ensured the fan brackets (on ceiling) were mounted into the floor joists, so it was secure. But, for the electrical, it is just a normal plug.We bought 2 and love them.

Yes, mine is wired that way. This is a beautiful, elegant, Quiet fan! You'll love it!

My husband was an Industrial Electrician for over 30 years. He bought a medium duty extension cord (long enough to reach from the fan mount to a plug inside the utility room -- close to the dryer). He drilled a small hole in the floor behind the dryer, cut one end off the extension cord, and inserted it through the hole to the fan underneath the house (our house has a conventional floor). That end connects to the fan and leaves the other end inside the utility room to be plugged into a regular plug. However, he said that the fan could be hard wired if that is your preference or to meet Code for your area. My husband was an Industrial Electrician for over 30 years.

We have not installed this unit yet, but I checked it and there is no way it can be plugged into a wall outlet that I can see. You can get battery-operated detectors, which we have in addition to the hard-wired units, and I suggest you get a couple of those.

It is meant to be hard wired in and doesn't come with a cord. It is not a suspended unit. It is ceiling mounted.

It is hard wired to the motor, and inside the fan shroud. I suppose you could mount the thermostat at a different location if you really wanted too, since it is in a separate housing with some effort, but why would you want to? Is the fan going to be in a radically different place than the thermostat? If the fan is on the temperature in the attic is going to even out pretty quickly.

It has a nice cord with plug, however you can.cut it off if you need to hard wire. It's not built for out door, however I use it under our eve pointed down at our patio table ...very nice. The cord in my circumstance could have been a bit longer 18" more but no big deal...nice quiet fan

This unit can be mounted to the wall, and then plugged into an electrical outlet (which should be a GFCI). Yes, you can plug the "curly cord directly into an outlet."

I installed mine hard wired to the ceiling. There is a length of metal piping to conceal the wires. It was a bit too low for my hallway so I had to cut a few inches off with a pipe cutter. Good luck :)

it gets hardwired in it's enclosure but then the fan and light plug in. The fan works well but it is a little bit loud. I guess because of the amount of air it moves. There will be a wiring diagram enclosed

Sure it can be hardwired. Just cut off the plug on the cord and connect your wired. Not sure about removing the plug cord completely and directly connecting

Hi Kathleen. It is hard wired to the ceiling. My husband installed it so I'm not sure but I don't think it came with an option to plug into the wall, although I'm sure you can get someone to make it that way if that's what you are looking for.
