Exhaust fans are perfect for removing smoke in the kitchen, steam in the bathroom, plus the hot and humid air both environments can create. Removing this air allows fresh new air to enter the room instead. The warm air that is removed is sucked through a ducting system and sent outside where it can dissipate.
Ceiling exhaust fans are especially important as they remove excess moisture which would otherwise lead to mould and bacteria growth.
Fans that move two cubic metres of air per second are sufficient for ventilation purposes. But if you need a heavy duty fan you may need to purchase something bigger.
It’s best practice to clean your exhaust fan at least once every six months. Regular cleaning ensures it remains in good working order and can most effectively ventilate the room.
Before you clean your fan, turn it off at the circuit breaker. Firstly, remove the vent cover, clean it with soapy water and leave it to air dry. Next, vacuum off the dust on the exhaust fan – keep a light touch so you don’t break anything!
Your fan will probably still be dirty after vacuuming. Use a damp cloth to clean off any remaining grime. You could even take apart the fan to get into all the components. Finally, with everything clean, reassemble the fan and turn it back on!
If your ceiling fan shakes or wobbles, a number of things could be causing it:
You need to find the cause and promptly fix it to avoid wearing down the fan’s mechanism. The first thing to do is ensure that all blades are tightly secured into their holder and any dust build-up is cleaned up!
If the fan continues to wobble, it’s likely the blades are misaligned.
Using a ruler, measure the distance from the ceiling to fan blade. Make sure you measure the distance from the same part of the blade as many are angled. If you find a misaligned blade, gently bend the blade back in place to match others.
If the problem persists you’ll want to try a blade balancing kit if you feel confident enough.
First slide the balancing clip halfway down along the trailing edge of one blade. Turn the fan on to check the wobble. Repeat this for all the blades to identify which blade needs the balance.
Next you adjust the position of the balancing clip to find where it best reduces the shaking. Once you’ve found the best position, stick an adhesive balancing weight in the centre of the blade, in line with the balancing clip. Adding more weight will result in a smoother running fan.
If all of this doesn’t work, call a qualified Metropolitan electrician!
A noisy ceiling fan can keep you awake at night. There are several possible causes, including some that can damage your ceiling if left for too long! The specific sound can be a good indication of the cause.
Humming could be related to dimmer controls. Some fans have dimmer controls to control fan speed, but many were not designed for the purpose. Your dimmer control should be swapped with standard speed controls.
Alternatively, your remote could be the source of humming. If your fan has a bad receiver that doesn’t get a strong signal from the remote, you will likely experience humming. If this is the case, you can have the receiver removed and connect your fan directly to the power source.
Bad capacitors are another reason for humming. This can be fixed by putting in a new switch or capacitor. If this doesn’t fix it, it could be a low voltage problem. This often occurs when several fans are connected to one circuit.
If you hear a rattling noise, some loose screws are the likely culprit. These can be a danger to your home and family if they become dislodged while the fan is on.
Your fan noise may be amplified when it is mounted directly into the ceiling joist. To avoid this noise, your fan should be mounted with approved hangers. This isolates the fan from the ceiling joist and reduces the sound.
If your ceiling fan is making any sort of sizzling noises, or even if it just smells funny when operating, it’s important you have a licensed electrician out to have a look at it. Your ceiling fan could be a fire risk.

The electrician arrived within the allocated time frame, acted in a professional and efficient manner. Could not fault the service. 5 stars! Most definitely would recommend and use again in the future.
We had an issue with one of our fans and ended up having to get it replaced. Nick came out and gave us a quote in the morning. We wanted to think it over and look at what fan we wanted. We ended up calling back and he came out later in the late afternoon after picking up a fan to install. Ended up staying late to install it. He is an amazing electrician, a really nice guy and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend and will definitely be using again.
