No waiting on callbacksYour Loaders carry the fan out and load it up. They handle responsible disposal after pickup, recycling components where local options allow.
No in-person chargesCeiling fan removal is priced as a single-item pickup, covering the motor housing, blades, light kit, and any mounting hardware that comes with it. If you're clearing out multiple fixtures or renovation debris at the same time, adding items to the same booking is a straightforward way to get more done in one trip.
The fan should already be taken down and disconnected before your Loaders arrive. Your Loaders do not perform electrical work or uninstall mounted fixtures, so having it detached and ready is the one prep step on your end.
LoadUp picks up most standard residential and light commercial ceiling fans in any configuration.
Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments like additional items, stairs, or in-home carry-out from an upper floor are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free at pickup.
The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.
Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.
For items that need to be taken apart, add disassembly to your booking during checkout.
Choose whether eligible items should be donated when possible during checkout.
Your Loaders prioritize recycling the motor housing, metal components, and blades from old ceiling fans whenever local recycling options are available. Disposal outcomes vary based on item condition and what facilities are accessible in your area.

(678) 884-4738Ceiling fan pickup typically starts around $75. Your final price depends on how many fans you're having removed, whether you choose curbside or in-home pickup, and your location. You'll see your exact total before confirming, so there are no surprises on pickup day.
No. Your Loaders can't uninstall, unwire, or disconnect a fan still attached to the ceiling. It needs to be taken down and disconnected from its wiring before they arrive, since they don't perform electrical work of any kind. This is the one required prep step on your end.
Yes. The motor housing, blades, light kit, and any mounting hardware all go in the same pickup. You don't need to separate or box up the components, just have everything together and ready.
Your Loaders sort the motor housing, metal components, and blades for recycling where local options allow. Outcomes depend on the fan's condition and what facilities exist in your area, so a specific outcome can't be guaranteed.
It depends on the pickup type. With curbside pickup, the fan just needs to be in an accessible outdoor spot beforehand, and you don't need to be home. With in-home pickup, someone needs to be present to provide access.
Start by cutting power at the circuit breaker, not just the wall switch, since a switch can still leave live current at the fixture. Have someone support the fan's weight while you remove the mounting screws, since fans are heavier and more awkward than they look, often 15 to 35 pounds depending on size and materials. Disconnect the wire nuts joining the fan's wiring to the ceiling wiring, cap the exposed ceiling wires with wire nuts or electrical tape, and the fan is ready for pickup. If you're not comfortable working with electrical wiring, a licensed electrician or handyman can handle this quickly and safely.
A wall switch only interrupts one part of the circuit and doesn't guarantee every wire feeding the fixture is dead, especially in older homes with non-standard wiring. Cutting power at the breaker and testing the wires with a non-contact voltage tester before touching anything is the safer standard, since a switch that appears off doesn't rule out a shock risk from a miswired circuit.
Yes, largely. The motor housing and blades are typically made of recyclable metal and, in some cases, wood or composite material, and most municipal or private recycling facilities that accept small appliances will take a ceiling fan. The light kit and any electrical components sometimes need separate handling depending on your local facility's e-waste rules.
Often, yes, for a relatively minor issue. A wobble is frequently caused by an unbalanced blade or a loose mounting screw, both inexpensive fixes with a balancing kit or a few minutes with a screwdriver. Persistent humming from the motor itself, or a remote or wall control that's stopped working reliably, is more often a sign the motor or electronics are wearing out, at which point replacement tends to make more sense than continuing to troubleshoot.
If it's still fully functional and a relatively current style, sometimes, through a local habitat restore, secondhand building materials store, or community marketplace listing. Older or heavily worn fans, and anything with damaged wiring or missing parts, are much harder to place through donation, since most people replacing a fan want one that's ready to install without repair.
