Ceiling Fan Repair

Our network handles the full range: dead or noisy motors, failed capacitors, broken pull chains and wall switches, faulty remotes and receivers, light kits that flicker or quit, and fans that wobble or pull loose from the mount. The electricians we work with diagnose the fault, make the repair, and rebalance and test the fan before they leave.

Resetting a pull chain or tightening a blade screw is fine to try yourself. Anything involving the motor, capacitor, wiring, or the mounting box belongs with a licensed electrician, since live circuits and a heavy fixture overhead leave no room for error. A pro fixes it safely and confirms the fan is secure.

Most repairs run between $100 and $300, with the final number set by the part that failed, how easy the fan is to reach, and whether the fault is in the motor, the controls, or the wiring. A simple switch or capacitor swap sits at the low end, while a motor or full rewire runs higher. Your pro gives you the price before any work starts.
