The father and son team of John and James Hunter created their first ceiling fan in 1886. Early Hunter fans were actually water driven, but later models were among the first lighting products to use electricity. Soon, Hunter was shipping ceiling fans throughout the United States, and to distant places like Africa, India and the Far East.
Today, Hunter combines this heritage of 19th-century craftsmanship with 21st-century design and innovation to create ceiling fans of unmatched quality, style and quiet performance. Hunter makes sure all of their other home comfort products - air purifiers, humidifiers, thermostats, portable fans, and bath exhaust fans - are as tough on the inside as they are beautiful on the outside - just like every Hunter ceiling fan since 1886.
