Fan Blades and Motor
Written by admin on October 18, 2008 – 4:34 pm -Fan Blades and Motor Blades If choosing a fan with wood blades, make sure they are sealed to prevent warpage. Fans rated for use in damp locations, such as a porch or bathroom, usually have plastic paddles. Because they're produced as factory-matched sets, you can't swap out blades from different fans; it throws them out of balance (see "Fixing Wobbly Ceiling Fans" — page 7 — for tips on correcting wobbly fans). But many manufacturers offer a variety of blade styles for a given fan, allowing you to customize the look. Many blades are also reversible, featuring different finishes on either side of the paddle.

Ceiling Fan Wiring
Written by admin on September 25, 2008 – 12:48 pm -Ceiling fan wiring is actually pretty simple. If you want to install your new ceiling fan and feel comfortable doing some basic electric wiring, there’s not much to say. Of course, the very first step is to make sure the electric power is turned off for that section. Don’t ever mess around with live electric wires. Most fans also have a lighting fixture built in, that means you’ll have a couple extra wires in there for that function. Don’t worry, that will be the easiest part, just like wiring a light bulb. Check your fans schematics or instructions. You need to know which wires go to the lighting, and which go to the fan motor. After that it’s just a matter of making the right connections.

Ceiling Fan Balancing

The good news is that identifying and correcting the problem is an easy solution. By keeping your ceiling fan in balance, you will enjoy cool breezes during the hot, summer months and warm circulating air in the wintertime.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who don’t mind the noise coming from any electric device (like a ceiling fan); and those who can’t stand it.
