Ceiling Fan Remote and Receiver Replacement

When this may be needed

• The fan doesn't respond to the remote, even with new batteries.
• The remote works only from directly underneath.
• Some speeds or the light don't respond.
• The remote is lost or broken.
• The fan turns on or off by itself.

What the team does

The technician first tries new batteries and re-pairing, which fixes some problems. If not, the circuit is isolated, the canopy lowered and the receiver tested. A failed receiver is replaced with the brand's part or a compatible universal receiver, wired in, and paired with the remote. Every speed, direction and light function is tested.

Included in this price

• Trying batteries and re-pairing first
• Testing the receiver
• Fitting a compatible receiver and pairing
• Testing every function

Limits & price factors

The receiver or remote is charged on top of labour. DC fan controllers built into the motor may need the brand's service.

The labour price starts from $90. Fans on high ceilings and brand-specific receivers take longer.
