WHAT IF MY CEILING FAN IS WOBBLING ?

FAQs from ceilingfanshop.com and westinghouse ceiling fan sp...
All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density which could cause the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight matched. The following procedures should elimate most of the wobble, check for wobble after each step. If blade wobble is still noticeable, try interchanging two adjacent blades which can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation. Please note that in our installation aids section you can purchase a simple fan balancing kit. See similar questions...

All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density which could cause the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight-matched. The first thing to check is the cleanliness of the blades. Dirty blades can make ceiling fans shake and/or wobble. To eliminate this as the cause of the problem and to keep the ceiling fan running smoothly, clean them on a regular basis. It's a good idea to clean the blades thoroughly every couple of month.

How much air does a ceiling fan move?

FAQ
This depends mainly on the CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating which indicates the amount of air flow that is moved.

We don't need to remove them. When the room is dark, the lamp will not be noticed or get in the way of the stars. Same with ceiling fans. They are not an obstacle. In fact, when the fan is on, it feels like a breeze coming down from the sky. See similar questions...

What is ceiling fan blade pitch?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Ceiling Fans
Blade pitch is the angle of the blades when compared to the horizontal. Quality fans generally have a blade pitch of 12-14 degrees. Lesser fans can have a blade pitch as low as 8 or 10 degrees. The higher the pitch, the more pressure the fan blade applies to the air in front of it as it turns and the more air is forced downward. That's why some lesser quality fans can look like they're spinning up a storm, but when you stand under them, you can't feel anything. See similar questions...

What is the difference between a four and five blade ceiling fan?

Hunter Fan
The main difference between a 4-blade and 5-blade fan is aesthetics, with some additional wind noise associated with 5-blade fans. For a given motor, a 4-blade fan will move more air than a 5-blade fan. The 5th blade puts additional drag on the motor, slowing down the RPM of the blades, which decreases the CFM. All Hunter fans, whether 4 or 5 blades, are designed for optimal air delivery See similar questions...

I. What is the purpose of a ceiling fan?

Frequently asked ceiling fan questions - Ceiling Fans N More
Most people who purchase a ceiling fan do so to utilize the first option. You expect to turn on the fan and feel a breeze, or at least some moving air. This is most effective with the fan in downdraft mode on a medium or high speed.
