You can swap out the wall switch, but you need a special switch designed for ceiling fans, not a regular rheostat. I think most of them will only have 3 speeds, but you can get one with a sliding switch. But, I would suggest that you consider buying a universal remote control instead of the wall switch. A remote control will also have 3 speeds and it will allow you to control the fan from anywhere in the room.
