Professional Ceiling Fan Repair in Services Kettering, OH

Ceiling fans blend electrical and mechanical parts, so a proper repair starts with careful testing. We check wiring, switches, and controls, then evaluate mounting, blade balance, and bearings to pinpoint the fault. Based on our findings, we recommend the most cost‑effective fix.

Diagnostics & Safety Check

A precise diagnosis prevents repeat breakdowns and protects your home. During the initial visit, we inspect the following:

• Secure mounting to an approved fan‑rated box
• Wiring connections at the canopy, switch, and receiver
• Blade balance, pitch, and hardware tightness
• Motor performance, capacitor, and bearings
• Wall controls, pull chains, and remote frequency

Mechanical Repairs

If the fan shakes, hums, or drifts between speeds, the cause is often mechanical. We offer targeted repairs designed to restore quiet, steady airflow. Typical fixes include the following:

• Blade balancing and hardware replacement
• Downrod, bracket, or canopy adjustments
• Bearing lubrication or motor housing service
• Light kit stabilization and shade hardware

Electrical & Control Solutions

Electrical faults can prevent a fan from starting or cause lights to flicker. Our electricians troubleshoot safely and repair the root issue. Common solutions include the following:

• Capacitor replacement for lost speeds or non‑start motor
• Receiver and remote pairing or swap‑out
• Wall switch, dimmer, or speed control replacement
• Rewiring of light kits, pull chains, and reversing switches

Signs Your Fan Needs Professional Attention

Small problems often point to a larger issue that calls for a licensed pro. If you notice the symptoms below, schedule service before parts fail completely.

• Wobbling or swaying at any speed
• Persistent humming or grinding noises
• Lights that flicker or fail intermittently
• Fan won’t start or only run at one speed
• Warm switch plate or burning odor

Repair vs. Replacement: What Makes Sense?

Not every broken fan needs to be replaced. Our goal is to save you money while keeping your home safe and comfortable. We’ll walk you through the options based on condition, parts availability, and energy efficiency.

When Repair Is Usually Best

Short of catastrophic failure, many fans can be restored quickly and affordably. Consider repair if you see the following:

• Minor balance issues or loose hardware
• Faulty capacitor, receiver, or switch
• Recent fan with available parts
• Well‑built model with solid airflow

When Replacement Is the Better Call

In some cases, an upgrade is smarter than repairing house ceiling fan components again and again. Replacement often makes sense in these situations:

• Cracked motor housing or warped blades
• Non‑rated electrical box or unsafe mounting
• Frequent breakdowns on an older unit
• Desire for higher efficiency or new features
