A remote control will also have 3 speeds and it will allow you to control the fan from anywhere in the room.

A fan control can be purchased from Lowes or Home Depot. I would not suggest a remote control as it might be misplaced and wiring would need to be done at the fan. If you are unsure of how to install the switch please have someone experienced do the installation. It looks simple but a poor installation can cause injuries or a fire.
