Ceiling fan repair, replacement, or a new box
The fan wobbles after you tighten the blades
Bent blades and missing blade weights are the cheap fix. A pancake light box flexing under the motor is the dangerous one. If the canopy shakes, the box is not fan-rated and needs replacement, not another balance kit.
There is only a light there now
That is a new install: fan-rated box, bracing through the joists, and usually a switch or remote. A light-fixture box is not legal for a fan. The electrician confirms attic access before quoting.
The fan runs but the light is dead, or it hums and crawls
Often a failed capacitor or a worn motor, which means replace the fan on the existing fan-rated box. If the box itself is cracked or pulling from the joist, replace the box first.
It is a patio or damp porch
Indoor fans fail outdoors. The listing has to be damp-rated or wet-rated for the location. A bedroom fan on a patio is a repair waiting to happen, and a shock risk in coastal air.
