Stop fan chains from tapping with tubes
Even though your ceiling fan is correctly positioned and functioning as it should, the pull of the fan might be enough to draw the chain against itself and create an annoying noise. You may not have to listen to it for long.
Covering the chains in the correct sized plastic tubing will help to prevent the noise. Many homeowners use it for fish tanks, so it may be found at many DIY outlets or even pet stores. It might take a few minutes out of your day to avoid hours of aggravation.
