This is to replace an outdated existing fan that both light and fan plug in. Does this get "hardwired" or do the light and fan vent plug in?

Fixture itself is hard wired. If you have the same model that you are replacing the internal assembly should be able to be used and plugged in.

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

If you are not replacing the housing and it is the same housing then they just plug in if not the same housing as the existing then yes it will need to be hardwired

This is intended to be wired directly to the fan motor wire, with the light on a separate switch. Unfortunately it is not an all-in-one solution for both light and fan.

Comes with electric cord and plug already attached. All you need is a receptacle. You could hard wire if you wanted but I don't see the need. Great fans. I don't think you will be disapointed

No. It's ceiling mounted like a ceiling fan. No plug must be wired to a light switch.

No, you plug it in. It's a nice fan but like I said it really only has 1 setting =)

The fan and the light can be controlled separately. They can be either both on, both off, or one or the other on. I have the light wired into the room light switch, whereas the fan is controlled by a pull-chain switch. These fans are very versatile for different wiring arrangements, either by a competent do-it-yourselfer or an electrician.

You have to wire it into the fan before mounting. I chose not to use that feature because my house is wired with light and fan switches.

Yes you plug it in, no need to have an electrician hard wire a light for you. It works very well.

Not really, still need the light switch to send power. Switch will be in the on position permanently, and the light and fan controlled by remote.

the unit is all pre-wired and easy to install from a single set of wires as long as you don't mind both light and fan on at same time. it's a great fan, we have had ours for 6 months so far with no problems.

Our builder had all the electrical hookups installed in the ceiling so the installer didn't have any trouble hooking it up. The unit didn't come with a electrical cord so I bought one at Home Depot. Not sure about the fan in the summer.

Don't really know what your question is...but if you are asking about the electrical hookup- it is 12V DC so you need a circuit to wire to. The fan works great.

No you don't The wiring for your light will work just fine. The only thing is both fan and light come on at the same time but that is what we wanted.

We had ours installed by a friend that knew wiring and they mentioned that it was a commercial fan and required a larger hole and exhaust fan vent than what we had in the bathroom. He did not mention the wiring in terms of it being difficult.

Handles the fan heater and dome light version of the whisper fan, check which model you have and have electrician install. Needs multiple wires.

I am not an electrician, so take that into account. To be separate, I believe you need to have an existing light/fan switch and wires installed in your bathroom. Otherwise, you'll need to handy electrical wiring to install a new dual switch with one for your light and one for the fan. I simply replaced an existing fan which had it's own switch. All the best.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.
