My fan only runs on one speed. Can it be fixed?

Often, yes. A failed capacitor is a common cause, and it is a small part. A worn pull chain switch or a failed remote receiver can do the same, and each can be replaced.

Is it worth repairing an old ceiling fan?

If the motor runs well and the fault is a part, usually yes. If the motor has failed, a new fan is often the better spend. We tell you which, with a price for each.

Why does my fan's remote not work?

The battery, the remote's pairing with the receiver in the fan, or the receiver itself. We check each and replace what has failed, or fit a wall control in its place.

Ceiling Fan Repair San Antonio

Most fan problems come down to a few causes. A wobble is usually balance or a loose mount. A hum or a fan stuck on one speed is often the capacitor. A fan that will not respond at all may be the switch, the remote, its receiver or the wiring. We test to find which before replacing anything.

When a repair makes sense, we make it. When the motor has failed or the parts cost more than a new fan is worth, we say so, and replacing it with a new fan on a properly rated box is priced as a separate choice.

FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers. If you do not see yours, call us and ask.

Blades out of balance, a blade bracket bent or loose, or a mount that has worked loose. A loose mount matters most, because the fan's weight hangs from it. We check the mount first and then balance the blades.
