How can I fix a wobbling ceiling fan without a balancing kit?

You can try a few safe DIY checks to reduce wobble without a balancing kit. In Highlands Ranch and nearby areas, start with the basics, then call if it persists.

Quick checks:

• Turn off the circuit breaker before any work.
• Tighten all blade screws and any light kit or trim screws.
• Make sure the mounting hardware is snug.
• If the fan replaced a light, the electrical box may need reinforcement; pros can add joist hangers or a larger fan box. Ceiling fan installs typically take 1–2 hours with a licensed electrician.
