Although traditional ceiling fans are an effective way to reduce the air conditioning costs in your home, they can cause some problems. Here are the most common ones with some tips on how to fix them:
1) Fan is noisy
CEILING FANS
If the fan is still noisy despite cleaning and you have checked for warping, it may mean that the connections have come loose. Check all the attachments are secured properly. If it is still making noise you may want to check it on different power settings to see if this resolves the issue. Some fans have an anti-hum device installed already. If yours doesn't have one of these, you may be able buy one that fits the fan. Check with your local supplier
2) Fan is on all the time with no effect
If you cannot notice the effect of your traditional ceiling fans i.e. the temperature of the room doesn't change even if the fan is running you may not have the right sized fan. A fan that is too small for the room will be ineffective as will one that is situated too high up. Try combining your fan with different settings on your air conditioning to see can you find a good mix. If not, it may be time to get a different model of ceiling fan.
3) Fan has stopped working
Unless the fan is old, the problem is likely to be a loose wire or connection which is easily remedied. Ask your electrician to have a look if you don't feel confident to check for yourself. If the fan is a modern type with remote controls and other features, something may have happened to the mechanics. As with any type of appliance, the more features it has the more things can go wrong. If you have recently purchased the fan, it may still be covered by warranty so you can have it checked out thoroughly. If it is an old fan, it may just have worn out and it might be the perfect time for you to go shopping for new traditional ceiling fans for your home.
