When this may be needed
- The fan wobbles visibly on high speed.
- The fan clicks or knocks at the canopy.
- The wobble has got worse over time.
- The fan wobbles after the blades were cleaned.
- A blade looks lower than the others.
What the team does
The technician switches off the fan and checks the mounting hook or bracket, the downrod pins and the canopy, because a loose mount is a safety issue. Blade screws and blade irons are tightened, and blade heights are measured to find a bent blade. The blades are cleaned and balanced with a balancing kit, adding weights until the fan runs smoothly on every speed.

FAQs
Usually the blades are unbalanced or the mounting has loosened. Dust build-up and a bent blade also cause wobble.
A slight wobble is common. A fan that wobbles more and more, or knocks at its mount, should be switched off until it has been checked.
Tightening blade screws and using the balancing kit that came with the fan often helps. If it still wobbles or knocks, have the mount checked.
At SG QuickFix, fan balancing or wobble diagnosis starts from $80.
