Ceiling fan problems we fix
Most fan faults come down to mounting, balance, wiring, or a worn component. We find the real cause instead of guessing, then fix it properly.
- Wobbling fans caused by loose mounting, bent blades, or unbalanced blade weight.
- Fans that will not spin, often a failed capacitor, motor, or wiring fault.
- Noisy fans that hum, grind, or rattle from worn bearings or loose parts.
- Speed control problems where the fan only runs on certain settings.
- Remote and wall switch faults that stop the fan responding properly.
How we diagnose and repair
We start by isolating the power and inspecting the fan, its mounting, and its wiring. From there we test the capacitor, motor, controller, and switches to pinpoint the fault. Once we know what is wrong, we explain it in plain terms and quote the repair before we proceed. Where a part has failed, we replace it; where the issue is mounting or balance, we correct it so the fan runs smoothly and quietly.
Repair or replace? Our honest advice
Not every fan is worth repairing, and we will tell you straight which way makes sense for you. A single failed capacitor, a loose bracket, or a faulty remote is usually a quick, worthwhile fix. A very old fan with a burnt-out motor, repeated faults, or corrosion from years in Singapore's humidity may cost more to keep patching than to replace. We lay out both options with clear pricing so you can decide.
Why a wobbling or noisy fan matters
A wobble is not just irritating; over time it loosens the mounting and stresses the blades, which can become a real safety risk in a high block. Unusual noise, a burning smell, or a fan that cuts in and out points to an electrical or mechanical fault that is better caught early. Our licensed electricians make the fan safe, then repair the underlying cause so it does not come back.
Licensed electricians you can trust
Our ceiling fan repairs are carried out by EMA licensed and HDB approved electricians, supervised by professionals with 10 to 20 years of experience. We work to HDB guidelines for electrical works and Singapore's electrical standards on every job. Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees, and if your fan needs replacing rather than repairing, we can fit a new one in the same visit where possible.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my ceiling fan wobble?
Wobbling is usually caused by loose mounting, bent or dusty blades, or uneven blade weight. Left alone, it can loosen the bracket over time and become unsafe. We check the mounting, balance the blades, and tighten everything so the fan runs smoothly and quietly again.
My ceiling fan has stopped spinning. Can you fix it?
Yes. A fan that will not spin is often a failed capacitor, a motor fault, or a wiring or switch problem. We test each part to find the cause, then repair or replace what has failed. We explain the fault and quote the repair before we start.
Should I repair or replace my ceiling fan?
It depends on the fault and the age of the fan. A failed capacitor, loose bracket, or faulty remote is usually a worthwhile repair. A very old fan with a burnt-out motor, repeated faults, or corrosion may be more economical to replace. We give you both options with clear pricing so you can decide.
Can you fix a faulty fan remote or speed control?
Yes. We repair remote, wall switch, and speed control faults, including fans that only run on certain settings or do not respond to the remote. We test the controller, receiver, and wiring to find the issue. Where a part needs replacing, we source a suitable one.
