We have the replacement aluminum fan blades you need to repair your HVAC or refrigeration unit. The fan blade is the part of the appliance that turns and moves air. These are axial fan blades, which are the simplest and most cost-effective fan blade shape. Aluminum blades are often preferable to plastic for larger systems, systems that reach extreme temperatures, and high static pressure systems. However, aluminum fan blades tend to be louder and more susceptible to corrosion.
We stock aluminum blades made to fit a number of different fan assemblies. Be sure to know the specifications of the fan blade you are looking for, including diameter, pitch, number of blades, direction of rotation, and hub type and diameter. We have replacement parts for Airtherm, Allied Air, Amana, Armstrong, Baltimore Aircoil, Bard Manufacturing, Blanchard-Ness, Breidert Air Products, CCI Thermal Technologies, Canarm, Carnes, Carrier, Economy Refri & Vent Supply, Evcon Industries, and more.

While a small wiggle in ceiling fans up to 1/8-inch is normal, more than that can indicate a larger problem. A noisy, off balance ceiling fan can lead to inefficient operation and excessive wear on the fan motor.
