What can I do for my ceiling fans to stop wobbling at high speed?
When I turn on my ceiling fan, I have to put it on it's lowest speed because if I leave it on high or medium it starts to wobble and make a weird sound. Any tips for how to fix a wobbly ceiling fan?

Sounds like it’s out of balance. You may need to tighten up screws and bolts on it. Be sure to turn the power off to it first. Swing by your local home improvement store, they have fan balancing kits as well.

The wobbling may be due to the fan blades being unbalanced. This article shows you how to fix it: https://www.delmarfans.com/educate/basics/how-to-balance-a-ceiling-fan/ Hope that helps!
I think that means it not balanced. When it's off, do you notice if any of the blades are lower than any others? I remember when I've installed them before, in the instructions they talked about taping a washer on top of the blade to balance it if that's the case.
If it has a long bar that is attached to the ceiling, you might want to consider removing the bar and making it more of a flush-mount fan (if this is possible). I have found that the flush mount fans don't wobble as much.
I'll check it out. Thanks
