Fan Maintenance Tips
- Clean Blades Regularly: Dust build-up causes imbalance and wobbling. Wipe them down monthly.
- Check Screws: Vibration can loosen screws over time. Tighten the mounting bracket screws annually.
- Lubricate: Some older fans have oil ports. Check your manual and add oil if the fan starts making grinding noises.
- Listen: If you hear clicking or buzzing, turn it off and call a professional before the motor burns out.
Seasonal Fan Usage
Summer Mode
Set your fan to rotate counter-clockwise. This pushes air down, creating a wind-chill effect that keeps you cool.
Winter Mode
Switch your fan to clockwise at a low speed. This pulls cool air up and pushes warm air trapped at the ceiling down.
Common DIY Mistakes
Continuing to use a wobbling fan can cause the fixture to detach from the ceiling.
Installing fans on standard light boxes instead of fan-rated boxes is a major safety risk.
Bending blades while aggressively cleaning them will permanently unbalance the fan.
Our Service Guarantee
We stand by the quality of our work. All fan repairs come with a **12-month workmanship guarantee**. If the same problem persists, we will return to fix it free of charge.
