Nothing like finding a 3 year old video and using $.80 cents to fix my wobble! Awesome instructions and life hack!

Your trick with the coins is amazing, I don't usually comment on videos but this video really helped me with a very loud and wobbly celling fan that has been a nightmare for the last 3 years.
Extra thanks for being honest and transparent regarding the process of trial and error - it helps understanding that this kind of fix isn't instant and it takes time to get good results (and also saves some of the frustration)

Legend says 2 years later and he's still balancing his fans.

46 dollars in change and it’s finally perfect. Awesome idea.

My sanity thanks you. My brand new fan started doing this and sleep has been crappy ever since. So simple and only took me 15 minutes to get it figured out. 🙌🏼😴

I was expecting decent results but I got mine perfectly still, not even a swing from the chain. Didn't even know it was possible! Thank you.

Thank you so much! My 25-year-old Hunter ceiling fan has been bugging me for years. With your suggestion, 31 cents fixed my fan's problem. Instead of trying the weigh on each blade, I measured the distance of each blade from the ceiling, then applied and increased the weigh on the highest blade. 1 quarter + 1 nickel + 1 penny = :)

Now I know how to balance the wobbly fan in my den !
Thank you for your valuable video 👍🏼

Awesome! It worked. I was able to identify the blade that needed the quarter in three tries.Took me less than five minutes.

[coachprescott]

Wow! You are a genius! Thanks so much! The kids fans have driven me crazy for years! This is brilliant.

[johnotto]

Dude . Your video and about 15 (I got lucky ) and fixed it .

I'm 6 years in apt maintenance game and you showed me something new today.
I shall keep it with me

Great video! I just balanced mine, it definitely does take patience and experimentation. I tried tipping it to the ceiling and seeing which side drooped to the bottom, ended up placing too much weight and in the complete opposite direction needed. It took me about an hour to get it right, and your method of going around each blade with the weight turned out to be the most intuitive.

Using my highly subjective balance scale of 0-10, 0 being perfect, and 10 being brick in a washing machine, my fan started at 3, and I got it down to about 0.5. I can run it at full speed, and it stays relatively still and nearly noise free.

For those who are too high and mighty to be taping coins to your fans, you can use this method to rough in how much, and where to place weights, then finish it up properly with some dedicated sticky weights.
