I went on a fishing trip this weekend to Ashtabula, OH with some friends. We stayed in a house that had 6 ceiling fans in it...Apparently the owners didn't take good care of the fans as you will find out why in some of the pics Dining room: Late 80s/Early 90s lighted housing hugger. I like the style w/ the 5 lights better...Litex?  One of the bedrooms: Encon Princess??  Unknown 90s hugger. It was in the room I stayed in and was a real noisemaker!  This one was in the front room and mounted with a swag kit...doesn't look safe  This one hung in the kitchen...maybe Hampton Bay from the 90s?  |

Greasy, warped, ent, dusty, old..just plain disgusting! I bet with some TLC they'll be AGAN (as good as new).

The illuminated Hugger is a Litex for Harbor Breeze from 1999. The fan itself is manufactured by Air Cool.

Nice pictures, John! The 1st one is a Litex (Harbor Breeze) like Perrey said. The 2nd one looks like an Encon Princess. The 3rd one.... I don't know - maybe Wal-Mart or Encon?  The 4th one I'm not sure... CEC maybe. The 5th one could be Hampton Bay, Litex, or Harbor Breeze. (Or something like that) Nice sightings! ;D |

The switch housing hanging by the wires. Hum I wonder if that un screwed or snapped off.. My Casablanca Delta I got years ago arrived with the switch housing bent, and ended up breaking the metal. This was all due to a bad packing job..

For a minute I didn't catch the hanging switch housing. I know you can pull those wires completely out and destroy the motor that way.

I'd ditch the contemporary hugger, since it was a noisemaker!!

The lighted housing hugger was the only one worth keeping, but I'd replace the fans with Emerson 1895s or Palm-Air spinners. As for the kitchen, I'd go with a smaller fan like a smaller Emerson Northwind or Hunter Silent Breeze. I'd definitely hang an 1895 or Hunter Mayfair in the front room!
I'd probably put Hunters in the upstairs.
