    Sorry it took so long to respond. No, I just put the fan where a light existed. They keep the light pull chain "on" constantly and change fan speed with its chain. Only other thing different is that it is an older house so there is no ground. Not sure that would matter since it worked normal for a year. Thanks D.

    Everythongs OK. Thanks again for your time. D.
