Wobbly Blades
In the event that your ceiling fan gets off balance, its blades may start to wobble as it spins. Eventually, a wobbling ceiling fan could be at risk of falling from the ceiling and putting you and your loved ones at risk of harm.
Likewise, people ask, is it possible for a ceiling fan to fall?
A ceiling fan that breaks free from its ceiling mount can be deadly. Wobbling will not cause the fan to fall, and there have been no such reports. Wobbling can, however, cause light fixture covers or shades to loosen and potentially fall. These items should be securely attached, with all screws tightly set in place.
how do I know if my ceiling fan is bad?
If you are wondering whether it is time to call your contractor, take a look at these three signs of a ceiling fan problem.
- Loud Humming Noises. When your ceiling fan is operating correctly, it should spin without making too much sound.
- Wobbly Blades.
- Failure to Turn On.
Letting ceiling fans run for long spans of time can also run up your electric bill. These home appliances are also common homes for dust and dust mites, which tend to accumulate on the blades. If you've got allergies, simply turning your fan on could cause you to have a reaction.
