Installing a remote control only requires lowering the fan canopy at the ceiling and installing a remote receiver. No connections are required at the fan itself. It is just as easy as installing a wall switch, but you do need to use a ladder. I'm too lazy to walk from my recliner to the wall switch to turn on the ceiling fan.
