This is an easy DIY job. The wall switch can be left under the remote
control unit that sits in a caddy. The remote works by wireless
communication with the fan itself, but keep the old wall switch under
there for a power on/off that you don't normally use (nor want to use).
The instructions on the fan will explain all this. There's a Home
Depot sale in fans right now, I think. Just make sure the unit you
purchase comes with a remote control, otherwise you'll want to invest
in this accessory separately. The remote won't switch the direct of
the fan, forward or reverse, so this will have to be done by a switch
on the fan unit itself.
