Melbourne's Trusted Electrical Contractor

Modern black ceiling fan installed in a Melbourne home, showcasing professional ceiling fan installation, replacement, and repair services by Approved Electrix

We don’t care what anyone says; as Melbourne residents, we know that the sun does shine, we do get hot weather, and we do need ceiling fans! Many homes in Victoria currently don’t have ceiling fans installed, but many property owners across Box Hill and the rest of the Melbourne area are starting to recognise the benefits of these cost-efficient climate controllers.

Ceiling fans can be energy efficient, cheap to maintain, and can improve air circulation for year-round comfort. They help create a cooling breeze in summer and distribute warm air in winter, which can reduce reliance on air conditioning and heating systems. Additionally, fans can improve indoor air quality by preventing stale air pockets, offer aesthetic versatility, and often come with lighting options.

Box Hill Ceiling Fan Upgrade Case Study

A Box Hill homeowner reached out to us recently in need of a quote for two ceiling fan installations. He wanted to upgrade his old AC ceiling fans with two new Lucci Air DC Slipstream models from Beacon Lighting.

We were able to have him quoted quickly and even finished the entire project the following day in one hour. It was a quick and easy project that left the client pleased, and we even captured the change-out and upgrade process on TikTok!

Why Ceiling Fans Require Regular Maintenance

Over time, ceiling fans can start to suffer from wear and tear, so regular maintenance and repairs are necessary to make sure they keep your suburban home in Box Hill East properly cooled. If your ceiling fan units are older or you haven’t had them inspected for a while, then you may notice some of these regular issues that can be addressed and repaired by a local residential electrician.

Loud & Noisy

Ceiling fans should run quietly and make minimal sounds. If your fan is making loud noises, then it could be due to a variety of reasons, such as loose fan blades, misaligned light fixtures, worn-out bearings, or dust and debris build-up. A qualified electrician can identify what’s causing your fans to make so much noise without causing unnecessary damage to the unit or your ceiling.

Wobbling & Shaking

If your ceiling fan is wobbling or shaking when turned on, then any number of pieces may be loose or misaligned. An electrician may need to resolve a blade imbalance with a balancing kit or they can use adhesive weights and a clip to address an incorrect weight distribution. An emergency electrician can fix severe shaking and wobbling will make sure your fan and ceiling avoid further damage and avoid potential injury from a loose unit.

Speed Issues

Sometimes a ceiling fan will start to not spin as fast as it ought to. Over time, a ceiling fan’s motor can start to fail and this can lead to insufficient spinning power. This can also be caused by a buildup of dust on the unit’s interior and exterior. An electrician can address this issue while also identifying any other potential electrical faults and issues affecting your fan.

Won’t Turn On / Won’t Turn Off

Maybe your ceiling fan won’t turn on when hitting the switch, or turn off. This is a pretty weird problem, but no job is too weird for our experts at Approved Electrix. This could be caused by an issue with the fan’s timer or caused by interference from another remote signal somewhere else in your house and hopefully not bad wiring. Whatever the reason, we can figure it out and fix it!

If you are experiencing any of these issues with your ceiling fans or you’re ready for a new unit that includes modern features like remote control, LED lights, and home automation integration, then get yourself a free quote today for a speedy and reliable ceiling fan repair or upgrade!
