There are a number of reasons as to why you will have to take your ceiling fan down. Perhaps you need to clean it or in some cases, you might want to paint it. Regardless of the motive behind your actions, it can feel a little daunting to take it down. You do not have to get the help of a professional to do this as you can do it on your own, with a little help of course. It does not matter what kind of fan you have as the principles we are going to talk about can be universally applied. Let us how to make this job much easier for you.

Basics

You will need a tool like a ladder that will allow you to get closer to the fan to take it down. Though this can be done on your own, it saves you time and energy if you have someone to help you out. They do not have to do a lot, but their presence can be a real asset to this process. This may sound like a tiny detail, but many people forget to do this. Always make sure that the power to the fan is turned off so that you do not get a shock when trying to take it down. You can use a screwdriver to start removing the fan. One way of doing that would be to take the entire fan. The other way of doing it would be to take down individual blades and this is where that other person comes in really handy.

Storage

It is essential that you do not lose any of the nuts and screws that are a part of the fan. If this happens, it will not be possible to put the fan back the way it originally was. So, make sure that you have a system in place that will allow you to put away things. This should be in a place where you can find it easily when you want to reassemble the fan.

The design of the fan (modern ceiling fans in Singapore) you have will change the speed at which you can take it down to make room for that. If at all you feel stuck during this, you can always refer to the manual and that will solve your problems.
