Ceiling fan blade | Balancing a ceiling fan : keeping everything level.
A ceiling fan blade can add a new look and feel to any room's decor. It also can help on your energy bills by circulating the air in your home. You can save money on the air condition bill by using your ceiling fan to move the air around and make it feel cooler in the hot summer days. In the cooler times of the year you can reverse the blades rotation and move the warmer air from the ceiling to the lower areas of your home which saves on the heating bills. Make sure you have wide enough blades to circulate the proper amount of air. If your blades are too narrow, the air movement will be greatly affected. The length of the blades will affect the sweep of the fan which is the pull of air that the fan can circulate and push around. Paying attention to these factors in choosing your ceiling fan blade will benefit you and bring some real cost savings when you install your ceiling fan.
Balancing a ceiling fan
If your trying to correct the wobbling of the blades, the first thing your should do is to remover two blades that are opposite from each other and reinstall them on the opposite side. Once down turn on the power. If the problem is still there, then we have to take other steps to balance the fan. Look in the kit and find the balancing clips : these will help. Place the clip on one blades leading edge, halfway along the blade's edge and bracket. Turn on the fan. If still wobbling, remove that clip from that point and clip on each of the remaining blades one by one, turning on the fan each time the clip is moved. Once you know which blade is the problem, place the clip close to the bracket on the leading edge of the blade. Turn on the power, if the wobble is still present move the clip slowly up the blade repeating the process until the wobble is gone. Once you are finished, place one of the self adhesive stripes (which is the balance) firmly opposite of the clip on the same blade and remove the clip. At this point you should have a balanced ceiling fan. Balancing your fan means just repeating this procedure until there is no problem.
