If it was installed by the builder, it is probably a Kichler, not a Hunter. A lot of people just throw them away.

One Kichler fan was doing that at only a certain speed. It was that ball mount at the ceiling that the fan hangs from. Don't recall if I lubricated or put something between the two surfaces but it stopped years ago.

If so, the fan is easy to balance. You can buy a balancing kit at Home Depot for about two dollars. However, usually an out-of-balance fan will wobble, but the OP said that it doesn't.

If it's not out of balance, or an easy fix it will need replacing. Kichler will replace it for free under THEIR warranty. Villages warranty department will have their customer service phone number.
That's exactly the route I went last summer with a 4 year old lanais builder fan. |

Yes, check for a loose blade but doubtful. MOST of the time the clicking is from the ball sitting in the steel bracket attached to the ceiling. MOST of the time taking the weight off the fan while running will stop the noise. Balancing the blades is a waste of time-never works.

You are correct. There is no longer a free fan installation at Dan's. However, the installer cost to install a Dan's fan is $85, according to Mark at Dan's Fans. That is still a pretty good price.

Mine had a taped on connector come loose in naode the main body. When the fan was turned by hand, you could hear the scrape and clunk.
Fix was to replace the fan... Drove me crazy. |

Quote “ANSWERED? Do Ceiling Fans Cool a Room? – Core Learning – Tech ...Yes, ceiling fans do work to enhance comfort and save energy. While they don't directly lower the room temperature, they create a wind chill effect, making you feel cooler by moving air over your skin and helping sweat evaporate. This allows you to raise your thermostat setting and reduce reliance on air conditioning, leading to energy savings. Ceiling fans also help redistribute air in a room, bringing cooler air from higher levels down. Here's a more detailed explanation: Wind Chill Effect: Ceiling fans move air, creating a breeze that increases the rate at which sweat evaporates from your skin. This evaporation process cools your body, making you feel cooler even if the room temperature remains the same. Air Redistribution: Ceiling fans can help redistribute air within a room, moving hot air up and cooler air down. This helps to create a more even temperature distribution throughout the space. Energy Savings: By creating the wind chill effect, ceiling fans allow you to comfortably raise the thermostat setting on your air conditioner. This reduces the amount of time your AC needs to run, saving you money on energy bills. Seasonal Use: In the summer, ceiling fans should be set to spin counterclockwise to push cool air down. In the winter, they can be set to spin clockwise to circulate warmer air from the ceiling down, according to Save on Energy. “ |

I would also add that the wind chill effect is not recognized or calculated for temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. So, unless you are cooling your house down to below 50 degrees, the wind chill effect does not even apply. Last edited by retiredguy123; 05-09-2025 at 02:23 PM. |
