Is the air from your fan failing to cool you, and instead, warm, sluggish air fills your home? After entering from the scorching heat outside and switching on the fan, do you feel it isn’t cooling you down and is just spinning meaninglessly? Is this making you consider buying a new fan for the upcoming summer days? If so, take a moment before making that purchase.
If your fan isn’t providing proper airflow during the summer, don’t rush to buy a new one, it will only add to your expenses. With a little maintenance, your ceiling fan can work like new without any extra cost.
While many households rely on ceiling fans, not everyone can afford air coolers or ACs. During winter, fans run smoothly, but as the heat increases, you may notice a drop in speed. If your fan isn’t rotating properly in the summer, it can be a major inconvenience.
Over time, ceiling fans in most homes lose their effectiveness. However, with proper care, you can restore their performance.
Clean The Blades
One common reason for poor airflow is dust accumulation on the blades. This dust disrupts air circulation, so cleaning the blades thoroughly can help improve performance.
Replace The Condenser
If cleaning doesn’t solve the problem, consider changing the condenser to boost fan speed. A new condenser typically costs between Rs 70 to 80 and is easily available online or at any electronics store.
Replacing the condenser is now a simple task that you can do yourself. It is located on top of the fan motor. When removing the old condenser, take note of how the wires are connected. Install the new condenser in the same manner, then switch on the fan — you’ll see it spinning at high speed once again!
