    Ceiling fan speed
    I have a harbor breeze fan that operates quite slowly even on "high". Compared to the hunter. Can I get it to run faster?

    Is it at all possible that the fan is controlled by a dimmer switch (definite no, no) or a fan motor control switch mounted on the wall?

    CCBST please type your answer in the box labeled "Answer this question." Have you tried pulling the speed change, it might not be on high right now
