Shown in picture: Hunter Classic Original Ceiling Fan Model 23855 in Flat Black. Reversible Walnut/Oak Blades are included as shown. Comes with 3 Speed Pull Chain

The Hunter Original series of fans has the most powerful and durable ceiling fan motor on the market and is the only fan with this much power that is EnergyStar qualified. The Classic Original is a fan that has changed little in decades and is truly the most classic traditional style ceiling fan available. Featuring the most durable rugged cast-iron construction, the Original series of ceiling fans from Hunter are still the only fans on the market that can actually be oiled. There are original models that are over 50 years old which are still functioning like new in peoples homes across the country. Although the Classic Original fans come with 5 blades, you can install 4 or 5 depending on your taste. Installing 4 blades would be in keeping with the classic style of the older original fans.

Low, High or Vaulted Ceiling Installation Options
This ceiling fan can be installed on ceilings that are 8 or 9 feet high and can be angled up to 30 degrees without the need for any additional mounting hardware, so what is in the box will be sufficient. If you have a high ceiling or vaulted ceiling that is angled more than 30 degrees (or both), you may need a downrod or angled ceiling adapter in order to install your fan.

Minimum Ceiling Height Requirement: This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 95.83" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is lower than 95.83" then you may need to add a flushmount adapter or close to ceiling dowrod if one is available for the fan (see below). If you cannot find what you need to make this fan work in your room, please give us a call so we can check to see if there are any further alternatives.

Hunter Classic Original Ceiling Fan Comparison Review

How does the Hunter Classic Original Compare to the Average Ceiling Fan?

Quality Rating = 5 (average is 3)
With a Quality Rating of 5, the Hunter Classic Original is among the finest quality ceiling fans made. It will run smooth and quiet without wobbling or making noise and you can let it run 24 hours a day for years on end without any worries of the motor burning out.

Airflow = 6947 CFM (average is about 5755)
6947 CFM is a good amount of aiflow and is above average. We highly recommend ceiling fans that move at least this amount of air in order to provide enough wind chill effect to keep you cool. the Hunter Classic Original will allow you to raise your thermostat by several degrees, which will help you save additional money on your cooling bills.

Efficiency Rating = 80 CFM/Watt (average is about 86)
An Efficiency Rating of 80 is fairly average. Efficiency is defined by the EPA as the amount of airflow a fan produces (CFM) divided by the amount of electricity (Watts) it uses on high speed without any lights on. Efficiency is less important than Airflow because more CFMs allow you to raise your thermostat higher...which is where you will save the most energy. Efficiency becomes more important if you expect to operate several ceiling fans at the same time. (see calculator below)

Electrical Usage = 87 Watts (average is about 76)
87 Watts per hour is higher than average, so the Hunter Classic Original costs a little more to operate than other fans. Use the calculator below to estimate just how much it will cost to operate this fan in "Your home".

CFM -vs- Efficiency: CFM is KING! It is more important to buy a fan with higher CFMs than it is to buy a fan that uses less electricity. The highest wattage consumed by the most energy guzzling ceiling fan on our website is about 120 watts. So if you input 120 as the fan watts and run our calculator, you will see that it still costs less than 2 cents per hour to operate the most energy guzzling ceiling fan in most states. You will get more savings with a higher CFM fan than a lower Wattage fan because if your fan moves more air you will be able to raise your thermostat to a higher degree. Raising your thermostat by 10 degrees can save you up to 40% on your cooling bills. Choosing a less powerful fan because it uses less electricity can be the worst mistake you can make because it will not cool you off enough to allow you to raise your thermostat to a high enough level without becoming uncomfortable. This is why CFM is so much more important to consider than Wattage.

    QUESTION: Hello, Your website is THEE MOST informative and helpful and once I narrow my decision I will happily be purchasing my fan from you. I am between the Hunter Classic original, the Emerson Premium and the Emerson Carrera Crande DC. All have various pluses and minuses for my application. I would like to know how much risk of oil leakage the Hunter poses..?

    ANSWER: I have been in the ceiling fan business for over 25 years and during that time have never had a custom report that oil leaked from their Hunter Original ceiling fan other than when they took it down and moved it. You just need to be careful not to tip the fan too much when there is oil in it. Once installed, it won't leak.

    QUESTION: I would like to mount the Hunter 23855 with a 24 inch down tube. is this accessory avaliable in flat black, and how can I purchase it?

    ANSWER: The recommended downrod from Hunter for the Flat Black Original ceiling fan is model 26227, which is a 24" Black downrod. Although it is not necessarily a matte black, it is very close and will look just fine. To verify this, here is a link to the page on the Manufacturers website that makes this recommendation: Hunter 26227 24" Black Downrod.

    QUESTION: I have a very old Hunter ceiling fan and it has a noise out of every rotation. can we oil it or can you give any suggestions as to what to do?

    ANSWER: If the fan you own is a cast iron Hunter Original ceiling fan, then yes...you can (and should) oil it. If it is not an original model, then you cannot oil it and it may either need service or need to be replaced. You can find the Instructions for Oiling a Hunter Original Ceiling Fan Here!. If you email me a picture of your Hunter ceiling fan, I will be able to let you know if it is an Original model that requires oil. Email to: gregt@hansenwholesale.com

    QUESTION: Would it be possible or cost effective to replace the motor in an Original Classic Hunter Fan? Oil was not put into it when it was installed but added months later. The fan worked for a short time after that. I get nothing but hassle from the person who installed it. Thanks. t

    ANSWER: The motor for the Hunter Original ceiling fan is not sold separately since pretty much all there is to the fan is the motor, blades and mounting hardware. So even if it was available, it would not be cost effective to buy just the motor. However, I will say that the Hunter Original ceiling fans are built very rugged. It has been my experience in cases where the oil was not put into the fan, or the oil was allow to dry up, that after filling the oil reservoir you can usually get the fan going again by simply turning it on and giving it a push start. If you get it going like this, just let it run for a few days to work the oil back into the bearings without turning it off. It is quite possible that your fan will make a full recovery and last the remainder of your lifetime. So there may still be hope for your fan. If this does not work, then you will need to bite the bullet and replace the entire fan...and next time, make sure the oil is put into the fan before it is used.

    QUESTION: I have two hunter classic ceiling fans that were controlled by same variable speed switch. after couple years of use, the second fan, furthest had difficulty starting unless prompted with broom handle. seemed to be getting worse over time so I removed the variable switch (thinking it was defective), and replaced with 20 amp simple on off switch. issue continues. what might be wrong with the second fan?

    ANSWER: Hunter Original ceiling fans need to be oiled periodically. It sounds like you simply need to add some oil. Here is a link to the Hunter Original Owners Manual where you can find instructions on checking and adding the oil.
