Ceiling Fan Repair in New Orleans

Ceiling fan problems we repair

Wobbling or shaking on high. Humming, clicking or grinding noises. A pull chain that broke or stopped changing speeds. A remote or wall control that no longer works. A light kit that flickers or won't turn on. Blades that droop or are uneven. A canopy that hangs loose from the ceiling. Fans that run in only one direction.

Why fans wobble in New Orleans homes

Most wobble comes from a box that isn't fan-rated, a loose mounting bracket, warped or mismatched blades, or blades that were never balanced. Tall plaster ceilings and humidity make it worse. We check each in order, tighten or replace the mount, and balance the blade set so the fan runs steady and quiet.

Repair or replace — we tell you up front

Many fans just need a new switch, receiver, pull chain or balancing. If the motor is burned out or parts are no longer made, replacing the fan usually costs less than repairing it — we'll say so and can swap in a new fan the same visit. See our ceiling fan installation page for replacements and new installs.

What we don't do

We work on existing wiring and existing switches only. Running a new circuit, adding a new switch where none exists, or fixing house wiring is licensed electrician work — we'll tell you right away if your fan needs that.

Frequently asked questions

Can you fix a ceiling fan that wobbles?

Yes. We tighten or replace the mounting bracket, check the box is fan-rated, straighten or swap blades and balance the set so it runs steady.

My fan's pull chain broke — can you fix it?

Yes. We replace the broken pull-chain switch or speed switch so the fan changes speeds and the light turns on and off again.

My fan remote stopped working — can you repair it?

Often, yes. It's usually the receiver in the canopy or a pairing issue. We test it and replace the receiver or remote kit if needed.

Is it worth repairing an old ceiling fan?

If it needs a switch, receiver, balancing or blades, a repair is usually worth it. If the motor is burned out, a new fan typically costs less — we'll tell you before any work starts.
