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

Yes. You can often stop a wobbling ceiling fan without a balancing kit by tightening hardware, cleaning blades, and matching blade heights. This works for many Rocky Mount and Roanoke homes.

• Turn off power at the wall switch.
• Tighten blade-to-arm screws and the canopy/mounting bracket.
• Clean each blade; remove dust buildup.
• Measure blade tip height; gently adjust brackets so all match.
• Check downrod and set-screws; ensure the box is rated for fans.
