The 8 Best Fan Motor switches (2023 reviews)

We are personally inclined towards lutron fan motor switch, it is not so pricy, but it overachieves its purpose and outstanding in important aspects. The LUtron diva 3-speed fan switch helps you achieve the ideal comfort level for your home. It provides 3 quiet fan speeds for comfort. The switch turns the fan on/off, and the slide on the right controls the speed of the fan. This switch adjusts the voltage to the fan to change speeds.

The DVFSQ-F is rated to operate a single 1.5A paddle-style ceiling fan. It allows 3-way usage to add to that fits available box space. The DVFSQ-F is designed to work with most 3-speed ceiling fans which are typically only controlled by pull chains and do not have remote control technology or a manufacturer provided wall control. It is a great way to control the speed of your fan without pulling the string.

Why We Like This:

Clean and simple, no more batteries
Turns fan on and off to preset level and slider adjusts fan speed
Clear direction made the wiring easy

Best For price: Westinghouse Lighting Fan Motor Switch

Buy on Amazon

The Westinghouse Lighting 7787200 ceiling fan wall control replaces a toggle switch and can be used with most ceiling fan brands. This is a great fan control switch with a nice low speed to move the air without creating a draft. The tactical feel is terribly clunky requiring much too much force to change positions. This one gives you a fourth even slower.

The wall plate is removable from the switch. This is way better than getting on a chair to reach the chain of the ceiling fan on a 10ft ceiling. The lowest speed is slower than the switch on the cieling fan. These switches are straightforward and easy to use.

Why We Like This:

Great fan control set fan chain to highest speed
Control fan speed without reaching for a pull chain
New and hot release

Best For exhaust Fan: Leviton Fan Motor Switch

Buy on Amazon

The leviton fan motor switch is capable of outshining several other switch featured in this list in overall features in its price range. This is a pretty small full size bathroom. It can be tight on a single gang box, but if you have ever installed a dimmer switch this one will be just as easy. It works with, or without, a neutral wire and, no need to determine which is the load or the line wire. You need to run the fan for quite awhile once the shower turns off and this sensor/timer will stop before it clears all the humidity. The water is already running so the extra fan noise isn’t jarring.

If you have a regular bathtub / shower setup with a curtain, this should work just fine with the defaults.

Why We Like This:

An inexpensive way to protect your bathroom against damage from humidity
Automatically turns on within 2 1/2 minutes of shower
Awesome little switch that automatically turns on when your bathroom gets too humid

Best For seamless Installation: Lightinginside Fan Motor Switch

Buy on Amazon

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention lightinginside fan motor switch for regular usage. It comes with a smart option, can be controlled by alexa or google assitant and app control no matter where you are. They work great as regular wall switches. It only takes one tap to the switch to turn it on or off, there are other wi-fi switches that require a double tap. They have the same tuya/Alexa limitation as every other device that has more than one item to control. The installation isn't difficult but you must have a neutral wire.

This is the first one that actually works without creating motor noise. It uses the Smart Life app for additional control. It is easy to replace a standard wall switch to allow for accessible ceiling fan control.

Why We Like This:

Really nice switch and support is fantastic
14 levels smooth and broad dimming range（10%-
A well-working, attractive fan/light wall switch
You can operate the fan and light independently

Best Maneuverability: Aoprofree Fan Motor Switch

Compared with other switch in this category, the aoprofree fan motor switch has a convenient design. The 3 speed 4 wire pull chain switch fits many ceiling fans including hunter, hampton bay, harbor breeze, westinghouse, litex, minka, and casablanca. It comes with the wires pre-installed like this one does. It is an exact replacement for controlling a ceiling fan motor speed.

The fan is in a room that doesn't get used much that's ok as long as the fan works. It is easy to replace just remember the color code placement for the new switch. It is easy to install although the wire colors are different. The fact that this one has the wires pre-installed makes installation so much easier.
