CLASSIC CONTROL MEETS MODERN PERFORMANCE

Pull chain ceiling fans offer a tactile, no-fuss solution for controlling airflow and lighting in your space. With the simple pull of a chain, you can switch between fan speeds or turn the light on and off—making these fans ideal for bedrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and more. They’re especially well-suited for those who prefer not to rely on remote controls or smart apps for everyday fan usage.

At Hunter, we design pull chain fans with the same attention to detail and performance as our remote- and smart-controlled models. From the motor to the blades to the light kit, every element is crafted for dependable comfort and style.

BUILT TO FIT YOUR SPACE

Our pull chain fans come in multiple sizes to accommodate rooms large and small. Choose compact 36- or 42-inch models for smaller rooms like guest bedrooms, closets, and breakfast nooks. Or go with a 52-inch pull chain fan for your living room, dining area, or master bedroom.

Each model is engineered for virtually silent operation using Hunter’s signature WhisperWind® motor, so you get strong airflow without the noise. Need even more control? Many of our pull chain fans are compatible with Hunter remote control accessories or wall control kits for added convenience when needed.

PULL-CHAIN FANS WITH LED LIGHTING

Many of our ceiling fans with pull chains also come equipped with energy-efficient LED lights. These integrated or bulb-based lighting options allow you to illuminate your space without sacrificing style or performance. LED fan lights are known for their long life, low energy usage, and minimal heat emission, making them ideal for everyday use.

Looking for a pull chain LED fan for a bedroom, home office, or kids’ room? Hunter offers models with dimmable LED lights so you can set the mood with just a pull. For more lighting inspiration, browse our entire LED ceiling fan collection.

STYLE OPTIONS TO MATCH EVERY ROOM

Whether your home leans modern, rustic, industrial, or farmhouse, Hunter has a pull chain fan to match. Choose from:

  • Matte Black or Brushed Nickel finishes for contemporary spaces
  • Fresh white or bronze finishes for coastal and cottage styles
  • Classic wood blade designs for a warmer, traditional feel

Many fans also feature reversible blades, giving you two finish options in one. With flush mount, standard, and angled mounting options, it’s easy to find the right fit—both visually and functionally—for your ceiling height and room layout.

INDOOR AND OUTDOOR READY

Hunter’s pull chain ceiling fans aren’t limited to just indoor use. Several models are rated for damp or wet locations, making them an excellent fit for covered porches, patios, and sunrooms. Enjoy year-round air circulation outdoors with a fan that’s built to handle humidity and moisture.

Browse our outdoor ceiling fans to find pull chain models that match your exterior spaces and extend comfort beyond the walls of your home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does a pull chain do on a ceiling fan?

A pull chain on a ceiling fan is used to control the fan's speed and light. A fan can come with one or two pull chains. Pulling the speed chain once or twice will change the fan's speed while pulling the light chain will turn the light on or off.

Can a pull chain ceiling fan use a wall switch?

Yes, Hunter fans that come with pull chains are compatible with handheld remotes and/or wall controls.

How do I fix a broken pull chain on my ceiling fan?

To fix a pull chain on a ceiling fan, you can start by turning off the power to the fan. Then, remove the fan's light bulb cover and unscrew the screws holding the light fixture in place. Next, locate the pull chain mechanism and use pliers to remove the nut holding it in place. Replace the pull chain with a new one and reattach the nut. Finally, the light fixture is reassembled, and the power is turned back on to test the pull chain. See our complete guide to ceiling fan fixes for more tips.
