I wish all things were made of this high quality. I did not have to balance it at all it was perfect right out of the box My parents have had hunter classic ceiling fans for as long as i can remember and i’m 40, so when i built my house i put one in my den with 12′ ceilings it moves a ton of air and is extremly quite.

I collect Hunter originals as a hobby and I have quite a few of them. I have found that the oil usually needs to be topped up once every 3-4 years in some fans, and others it needs to be topped up every year, why there is this difference, I do not know but some fans just seem to use oil. Could also be an oil formulation difference through the years. The fans from the early days of Hunter typically need to be topped up once a year. Fans that are older (more than 20 years) can usually benefit from a rebuild. Yes, a rebuild. A rebuild basically consists of a tear down and re-assembly which consists of cleaning the bearing surfaces, cleaning the oil cup, replacing the Reverse Switch, as well as the removal of Dust off of the armature and the windings. Do this service every 20 years and your fans will most indeed outlast you and you WILL pass the fans down to your family members. If Antique Hunter Ceiling Fans have been running for 80+ years with neglect, how long will these modern fans run with maintenance? Just my thoughts...
