We have 2 King of Fans Granada model fans and both need some TLC. Actually one might be beyond the TLC stage, so advice, recommendations, etc. are welcome. One unit has a (now not working) remote and the pull chain does not operate. It is permanently “on” and we control it with a toggle switch. We are wondering if it’s possible to get a remote control module & controller to replace the non- working one and where it can be ordered.
The second fan is controlled with a pull chain (we don’t know if it has a remote module) and struggles in the slowest speed, wobbles a little and in all phases hums rather loudly. For this one we are wondering if it’s beyond repair and, if not, if a remote module could be installed if we are going to take it down to do other work.
To the best of our knowledge these fans were original when the unit was built in 1982 and have never been serviced. They don’t appear to have much visible dust in the main housings. It seems a shame to discard these fans, but......
Admittedly, we are not electricians, know little about ceiling fans, and are just trying to determine our best options. We have seriously considered switching both out for new fans but installation is a bit tricky because of the concrete ceilings and the necessity for either a swag kit or putting the wire in conduit. Few new fan housings have punch-outs, modern fans need higher ceilings, and good quality fans all appear to be fairly pricey (worth it if we can find something we really like).
If we do decide to replace these fans, is there interest by “vintage” fan fans in using these for parts?
Thanks in advance for for suggestions and help.
