Changing your ceiling fan before Chinese New Year 2027

Chinese New Year 2027 falls on Saturday, 6 February. If the fan in your living room wobbles, hums or has been "going to be changed" since last year, this is the time. Guests are coming, the flat is getting its big clean anyway, and the one thing you don't want is to be chasing an electrician in the last week before the reunion dinner.

The timeline that works

• Now to mid-January: decide. Pick the fan and the size, check if the Climate Voucher covers it, and order. Send us a photo of the ceiling so we can tell you upfront if it's a basic installation.
• Second half of January: install. Book the slot when you order. The closer it gets to CNY, the harder it is to get the day you want.
• The week before CNY: clean. Wipe every fan in the flat, top and bottom of the blades, as part of the spring cleaning.
• CNY eve: sit back. Fan on low, guests comfortable, no one sweating through the steamboat.

Fix it or change it?

Not every tired fan needs replacing. Some quick tells:

• Wobbling only: often uneven dust or a loose blade screw. Clean and tighten first. Our wobbling guide walks you through it.
• Humming or clicking: sometimes fixable, sometimes the motor. See what each noise means.
• Old AC fan, slow even on high, remote half-working: time to change. A DC fan is quieter and uses far less electricity. Our when-to-replace guide is honest about it.

Paying for it: the vouchers

Both accepted at our counter.

The S$400 NEA Climate Voucher is valid until 31 December 2027 and pays for an eligible DC fan. Plenty of good fans cost S$400 or less, so the fan itself is free. Our price list shows every one.

If you still have CDC vouchers from January 2026, they expire on 31 December 2026, a month before CNY. Use them first: on the top-up for a fan above S$400, or on LED lights and switches for the spring clean. More on the CDC deadline.

Spring cleaning your ceiling fans, properly

1. Switch off at the wall. Not just the remote.
2. Pillowcase trick: slide an old pillowcase over each blade and pull it back towards you. The dust stays inside instead of raining onto the sofa.
3. Damp cloth, top and bottom. The top of the blade collects the most. Uneven dust is the classic cause of a new wobble.
4. Check the screws on each blade while you're up there. Snug, not overtightened.
5. No water near the motor, and don't bend the blades to "straighten" them.
