What you are seeing and hearing now

When your fan sounds wrong or barely helps, but you are not sure what to do next

Most homeowners call us when a fan does not feel right anymore. These are the issues we see most often.

Wobbling or rattling fans

The fan shakes, clicks, or rattles on certain speeds, and you are worried it may come loose or damage the ceiling.

Fans that hum, buzz, or will not start

The fan makes a humming noise, does not spin at full speed, or does not come on at all, which can point to motor, capacitor, or control issues.

Exhaust fans that are loud but weak

Bathroom or laundry fans make a lot of noise but do not clear steam or smells, which can lead to moisture issues and frustration.

Controls that do not respond

Wall switches, pull chains, or remotes only work sometimes or control the wrong functions, which makes you nervous about the wiring.

Our fix: Diagnose and stabilize first, then repair or recommend replacement using parts and wiring that match your fan and your home instead of quick fixes that only mask the real problem.

We check the fan, mounting, wiring, and controls as a system, then either fix the issue on the spot or plan a return visit with the right parts so you are not guessing or replacing fans unnecessarily.

Repair approach choices

Fan repair options that affect cost, comfort, and peace of mind

We help you decide when repair makes sense and when replacement is the better long term move.

During your visit we discuss the fan’s age, how often it runs, and whether parts are still available. Then we lay out repair and replace paths with clear pros and cons.

  • Keep an otherwise solid fan

    Repair, tune, and balance

    When this is best

    Best when the fan is newer, of good quality, and you like how it looks.

    Key details

    • Tightening and balancing to reduce wobble and noise
    • Replacing switches, capacitors, or connection points
    • Cleaning and tuning to improve performance and life span
  • Upgrade and simplify

    Replace with a new fan

    When this is best

    Right when the fan is older, parts are unavailable, or you want a quieter or more efficient model.

    Key details

    • Upgrading mounting and wiring if needed
    • Choosing a fan that better fits the room and your controls
  • Ease of use and safety

    When this is best

    Important when controls are confusing or fail intermittently.

    Key details

    • Simplifying switch layouts and removing unknown add ons
    • Replacing older remotes or modules that cause flicker or hum
    • Clarifying what each control does for daily use

What fan repair typically costs in Toronto

Most fan repairs are straightforward once we understand the cause. These ranges give an idea of investment before we see the fan in person.

$900+
  • Grouped diagnostics and repair planning for multiple fans
  • Coordination with other electrical work where needed
  • Clear recommendations on which fans to repair or replace

New fan purchases and major electrical upgrades are quoted separately.

What every itemized quote includes

  • We confirm pricing after diagnosis so you can choose between repair and replacement with full information.
  • Protection and cleanup are included so rooms are ready to use after we leave.
  • If repair is not cost effective, we will say so and can quote a replacement instead.

Quotes are fully itemized with allowances, contingency, and requested add-ons itemized for clarity. No hidden feesever.

What moves pricing

What changes the cost of fan repair

We explain these factors during your visit so you know why one repair is simple and another takes more work.

Age and quality of the fan

Higher quality or newer fans are often worth repairing, while older, low quality units may be better to replace.

Parts availability

Some brands and models have easily available parts, while others require special ordering or are no longer supported.

Location and access

Fans on very high ceilings or over stairs need more staging than fans in standard height rooms.

Wiring and control complexity

Fans tied into multi way switches, remotes, or smart systems may require more diagnosis and careful testing.

Number of fans and visit efficiency

Looking at several fans at once can be efficient but also increases total time on site.

Before authorizing any work, you will see what is involved and can decide how far you want to go with repair versus replacement.

Guarantees that keep fan repair safe and straightforward

You want the noise and worry gone without damage to your home. Our guarantees are built around that.

Safety first with power and mounting

We shut power off properly, verify boxes and mounting, and only leave a fan in service if we are confident in its safety.

Protection and tidy work area

We use drop cloths, protect nearby surfaces, and clean up any dust or packaging before we leave.

Clear explanation of what we found

We explain the cause of the issue, what we did to fix it, and what to watch for in the future in simple terms.

Respect for your time

We schedule in realistic windows, call if anything changes, and keep visits as short as the work allows.

Warranty on our repair work

If an issue returns that is related to our repair and normal use, we will assess and address it within the warranty period.

The goal is not only to quiet a fan, but to leave you feeling confident that it is safe, reliable, and doing its job.

Preparation

How to prep for fan repair

A few quick steps before we arrive help us diagnose and repair faster and keep your home clean.

  • Note what the fan is doing or not doing and when it happens, such as which speeds or noises you notice.
  • Move small items and furniture out from directly under the fan so we can set up a ladder safely.
  • Share any past repair attempts, model numbers, or manuals you have for the fan.
  • Plan for pets and children to be in other areas while we are working with ladders and power off.
  • Confirm who will make decisions if we find that replacement is a better option than repair.

When fan repair should wait

Sometimes it is better to address other electrical or building issues first so repairs are safe and worthwhile.

Known electrical problems in the home

What usually happens

If your home has frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or other electrical issues, repairing a fan may not solve the underlying risk.
Our fix
We recommend an electrical assessment or repairs first so fan work is done on a safe, stable system.

Active leaks near the fan location

What usually happens

Water near fan boxes or wiring can make work unsafe and may damage new parts.
Our fix
We suggest fixing roof or plumbing leaks and confirming the area is dry before repairing or replacing the fan.

Planned upcoming renovation or layout change

What usually happens

Installing new parts or controls now may be wasted if ceilings or layouts will change soon.
Our fix
We may propose a temporary solution or waiting until after renovation plans are final so fan repair or replacement can be done once in the right location.

Fan repair questions we hear most often

Quick answers about what we can repair, how long it takes, and when replacement makes more sense.

1
Can you repair any fan, or do you only replace them
Many issues, such as noise, wobble, and some electrical problems, can be repaired. If a fan is very old, poorly made, or parts are unavailable, we will explain why replacement is smarter.
2
Can most fan repairs be done in one visit
Basic tightening and simple part swaps can sometimes be completed in one visit. More complex repairs may require a second visit once parts are sourced.
3
Do you handle both ceiling fans and exhaust fans
Yes. We work on ceiling fans in bedrooms and living areas as well as bathroom and laundry exhaust fans, as long as they are safely accessible.
4
What if you find a problem with wiring or the electrical box
If we find a safety concern, we will shut the fan off, explain the issue, and give you options, which may include upgrading the box, correcting wiring, or involving a licensed electrician.
5
Do you offer a warranty on fan repairs
Yes. Our repair work includes a workmanship warranty. If a repaired issue returns under normal use within that period, we will reassess and address it.

I have used Mike not once but twice. It is not very often that you get commitment, quality, hard work, professionalism, and cost effectiveness in one package. He has done two bathrooms, pantry closet, and backyard shed and his perfection is commendable. He is my go to guy for any kind of work.

I contacted Mike with a long list of things I needed done in my home. He responded quickly, replaced fixtures, removed baseboards, replaced silicone caulking in shower and kitchen window, cleaned dryer vent and several other tasks. He was professional and completed all the jobs to my complete satisfaction.
