Maintaining Your Ceiling Fan

by @ 1:00 pm. category: Heating and Ventilation


Well-designed fan motors have sealed bearings so that they require no lubrication or maintenance. However, vibrations sometimes can cause the screws on the blade mounts or motor housing to work loose. That results in noisy fan operation.


The remedy is simple: Tighten any loose screws with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten. Before turning on the fan, spin the blades by hand to be sure they rotate freely.


The rotating blades usually pickup dust and dirt, so periodic cleaning is a must. Clean the blades and housing with a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive agents because they can mar the finish. It’s also a good idea to protect wooden fan blades with a light coat of furniture polish.
