Q. Can a ceiling fan be converted to remote control?

You can in fact change it such that it can be operated by a remote. You too may carry it out on your own if you so want and are interested. Obtaining a universal receiver and a remote control is a prerequisite before beginning work on this project. It is possible that you will also need to replace the capacitor if the one you are using is not compatible with the conversion. Do not attempt to deal with the electrical or electronic systems if you lack the necessary competence. Please refrain from doing so. In that situation you run the risk of destroying your current system.
