Our electricians can help with common ceiling fan problems, including:

- Loud or unusual fan noises

- Damaged or worn wiring
- Fan mounting problems

If you are not sure what is causing the problem, you do not have to figure it out yourself. Our technicians can inspect the fan and identify the source of the problem.
Why Is My Ceiling Fan Not Working?
There are several reasons a ceiling fan may stop working.
Some problems are simple, while others require electrical troubleshooting.
The Ceiling Fan Has No Power
If your fan does not turn on at all, the problem could be the wall switch, wiring, circuit breaker, remote receiver, or another electrical component.
Our electricians can test the electrical connections and determine where the problem is coming from.
The Fan Is Wobbling
A small amount of movement may be normal, but excessive wobbling should not be ignored.
A wobbling ceiling fan can be caused by:
- Unbalanced blades
- Bent blade brackets
- Loose screws
- A loose mounting bracket
- An improperly installed fan
- A damaged motor housing
We inspect the fan and mounting hardware to determine what is causing the movement.
The Fan Is Making Noise
A ceiling fan should operate without excessive rattling, grinding, buzzing, or humming.
Noise can come from loose parts, worn bearings, electrical components, or problems with the motor.
Instead of simply tightening a screw and hoping the noise goes away, we look for the underlying cause.
The Fan Spins Slowly
A fan that runs slower than normal may have a failing capacitor, electrical problem, motor issue, or speed-control problem.
Replacing the correct component can often restore normal fan performance.
The Ceiling Fan Light Does Not Work
If the fan works but the light does not, the problem may be isolated to the light kit, switch, wiring, bulb, or another component.
Our electricians can troubleshoot the electrical system and determine what needs to be repaired.
Our Ceiling Fan Repair Process
We make ceiling fan repair as simple and straightforward as possible.
1. Schedule Your Service
Contact Lantz Home Services to schedule a ceiling fan repair appointment.
Our team will gather information about the problem and help coordinate a service time.
2. Inspect the Fan
When our technician arrives, we inspect the ceiling fan and its electrical connections.
We look at the:
- Fan motor
- Blades
- Mounting hardware
- Switches
- Wiring
- Capacitor
- Light kit
- Remote controls
- Electrical connections
The goal is to find the actual cause of the problem.
3. Explain Your Options
Once we identify the problem, we explain what is happening and what can be done to correct it.
You will know what the recommended repair involves before work begins.
4. Complete the Repair
After you approve the work, our electrician completes the necessary repair using proper electrical and safety practices.
Depending on the problem, this may include replacing a component, repairing wiring, balancing the blades, securing the mounting hardware, or repairing the fan controls.
5. Test the Fan
After the repair, we test the ceiling fan to make sure it operates correctly.
We check the fan speeds, movement, controls, and light if applicable.
We also make sure the work area is clean before we leave.
Ceiling Fan Repair or Replacement?
Not every ceiling fan needs to be replaced.
In many cases, repairing a damaged component can restore the fan and extend its useful life.
However, replacement may make more sense when a fan is:
- Severely damaged
- Very old
- Repeatedly failing
- Unsafe to operate
- Difficult or expensive to repair
- No longer meeting your needs
Our technicians can explain the condition of your existing fan and help you understand whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
The decision is always yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ceiling fan repair usually cost in Austin?
We provide pricing after we inspect your fan, because cost depends on the issue, parts needed, and how accessible the fixture is. Our technician explains the problem, reviews options, and gives you an upfront quote before work begins so you can decide what fits your budget.
Can you fix my existing fan or will I need a new one?
In many cases, we can repair your existing fan by replacing worn parts, correcting wiring, or balancing the blades. If the fan is very old, damaged, or unsafe, we explain why replacement may be a better long-term choice and let you decide how you want to move forward.
How soon can your team come to my home?
Scheduling depends on current demand and your location in the Austin area, but we work to offer prompt appointments. Our office uses modern scheduling software to coordinate routes efficiently, and we do our best to find a time window that fits your day as quickly as possible.
Is it safe for me to try to fix my ceiling fan?
We generally recommend that electrical and mounting work be handled by a trained technician. Ceiling fans involve wiring overhead, heavy moving parts, and proper support in the ceiling. Trying to repair these on your own can increase the risk of shock, falls, or damage to your home.
