A Beginner's Guide To Ceiling Fan Parts
By David Faulkner
Ceiling fans have joined the likes of the oven and the dishwasher as essential equipment in the average home. Most new homes are actually designed to incorporate the ceiling fan and thus most households have them installed already. However, very few people know about the nature and the function of ceiling fan parts. The mechanism is pretty simple but if you cannot identify the different ceiling fans parts and their functions, you stand no chance of being able to maintain or repair them. The ceiling fan can save you using your air conditioning unit in summer and thus would actually see to it that you used less energy whilst at home. This would work out far cheaper for you in the long run, but not if you neglect to get a faulty ceiling fan fixed because of a lack of knowledge about ceiling fan parts.
The Blades
The blades are the most essential ceiling fan parts to its function and so should be maintained regularly. Ceiling fan parts, and thus ceiling fan blades, are readily available in most DIY and hardware stores, as well as at furniture stores. You can buy them separately so you do not have to purchase another fan to replace your old one!
Blade arms are also essential ceiling fan parts if you do want to repair your fan. However, it is only the newer models of ceiling fan that blade arms can be bought for. Therefore if the problem is with older fans, you might as well invest in a new one!
The Capacitors
This is the main one of the ceiling fan parts that will need replacing after a few years because the wear and tear on the capacitor is huge. Take sales advice on the ceiling fan part that you actually buy because some are better than others.
The Motor
The motor is the most integral of ceiling fan parts as far as function is concerned because, without it, the fan would be absolutely useless, and they are bought for functionality rather than to look pretty! Repairing the motor is expensive and sometimes works out to cost more than replacing the ceiling fan period. You should contact the manufacturer of the ceiling fan if it is still under guarantee but it would be worth exploring your options fully before making a financial commitment to the ceiling fan parts provider.
