Question

How does one balance a cieling fan?

Answer 1

magic

Answer 2

You can get a small kit from most hardware stores, which contains clips, that you can attach to the leading edge of the fan blades... this is the easiest type of fan balancing kit to use, because you can slide the clip (which adds a bit of weight) up and down the length of the blade, if necessary, to 'fine tune' the balance.

Some of these kits have 'self stick' weights you can attach to the top side of the blades.

Basically, its trial and error.... you stick the clip, or weight, on one blade and see what happens...if it made it better, or worse, and go from there.

Good Luck

Answer 3

Well just make sure all the screws are nice and tot. If that is not the problem then get small weights and tape them to the top of the fan blades. Of course this is a temporary solution. Call the manufacturer and see if they can help.

Answer 4

IF it's a new fan it should come with some weights to tape onto the fan blades on the light side.. If it's an older fan you can do the same thing using different sizes of washers and tape and glue.. To get the balance, tape some washers on top of the light side of the fan (will take some playing around to get it right ) after you found your sweet spot remove the tape and glue the washers using a good glue tape over to  help washer until glue is set...

Answer 5

If you dont have the little balancing clips that came with the fan then ur going to have to tape coins to the blades,  and i would first check to see if the ceiling box it is attached to is secure and not wobbling.

Answer 6
