Hunter Ceiling Fans

Hunter has made fans since 1886. Hunter fans made through the 1950s are considered antiques and use motor designs as such. They require frequent oiling and are similar in design to pre-2000 Hunter Originals. These fans are very heavy and powerful, some are also very valuable.

Hunter Originals, made from the early 1900s until the early 2000s, used the same motor design as many antique fans. They had several small changes made over the years. There is very little that can fail in these fans but they do require frequent oiling. See "oiling" section.

In the early 1980s Hunter introduced their first imported fans, these were made under the Robbins and Myers label and used a rubber flywheel that may require replacement. See "flywheel replacement" section. There are no reoccurring issues with following Hunter fans.
