Ways To Fix A Noisy Ceiling Fan
A noisy ceiling fan can drive you crazy with it’s constantly irritating sound. The imperishable noise disturbs the integrity of the room and consequently drives you crazy.
Instead of putting the inspection of the fan on hold until a professional arrives, you can yourself give a shot to make the necessary adjustments in the fan’s operation.
Make way for a general test by keeping the fan turned off for 1 day and then turn it on to detect any noise. If noise persists then follow the subsequent mending operations. Check the setup of the installed ceiling fan to reason out any error. If a fault is detected then correct it accordingly following the instructions that came with the fan’s manual.
If however everything seems alright then the problem may be with the fan blades. Loosely screwed nuts and bolts on the fan blades often cause an imbalance between the blades resulting in annoying sound. Re tighten the screws and switch on the fan regulating to it’s highest setting. Also oil the screws well to reduce friction. If nothing seems to have changed then go for the next option.
Work with the proper balancing of the blades so that they don’t wobble. Imbalanced blades don’t cut through the air smoothly and hence create unnecessary noise and also reduces the cooling effect of the fan. To solve the problem a re-balancing kit specifically made to balance the ceiling fan blades can be brought into the home. Take out the penny or the weight from the kit and attach it to one of the blades. Turn the fan on to observe any noise. If noise persists then attach the weight to another blade. Keep repeating the process and shifting the position of the attachment until no noise is encountered.
In addition check whether the blades are set at a common angle to each other and if found deterring, gently adjust to the appropriate angle.
Check the canopy of the fan for accumulation of debris as well.
If all the attempts to dissipate the noise from the ceiling fan are going in vain then call an electrician to handle the situation as the problem may lie with the internal motor and the associated copper binding.
