Since ceiling fans are one of the most commonly used appliance in homes, it would be quite handy to know a thing or two about the mechanisms and ceiling fan parts. Such knowledge will prove to be quite advantageous if your ceiling fan will break down, especially if it is in the middle of the sweltering summer seas on.
A broken fan would potentially force you to use the air conditioning unit full blast, which will of course cause for your energy consumption to skyrocket. So to anticipate for such unpleasant and often troublesome events, make sure you know some of the important ceiling fan parts you won’t need any help in determining any parts would need replacements. So here are some of the important ceiling fans parts that you want to know more about:
Blades
Replacements for fan blades are readily available in most home centers. It is one of the easiest ceiling fan parts to replace specially on most current models and their even some retailers who offer individual blades sold separately.
Blade Arms
Like blades, generic replacements of blade arms can easily be found in leading centers. These replacements however will not fit on old models and other fans that have some specific designs. It would be best to contact the manufacturer and order the parts for the particular ceiling fan model you have in your home.
Capacitors
This is one of the ceiling fan parts that will eventually wear out after a few years of use. When looking for replacements, look for some specifically rated models so that it is better fit your ceiling fan.
Motor
If you are unlucky enough to have the motor break down on you, then you should contemplate on buying a whole new ceiling fan since the motor would be quite costly. It would be more sensible if you would just buy a new ceiling fan. If the fan is relatively new, check if it is still covered by your warranty and contact the manufacturer for possible replacements.
It is important to remember that before buying any replacements for your faulty or defective ceiling fan parts, to take note of the specific model of your fan. Ask assistance from a home center representative who can give you a knowledgeable advice on what is the best brand to buy. If you want to purchase the original parts, you can directly contact the manufacturing or distributing company since they will undoubtedly have the parts you need.
