Hi, yes indeed. Our fans collect dust at an alarming rate. Once a year I end up cleaning them all. The heat pump filter gets replaced every 6 months as well. It amazes me how much dust gets into a closed up house. Out H-P works better if you never open the windows. The humidity and air temp is much better regulated and energy use is minimal if the inside and outside temps are nearly the same. That is about 1/2 the year. I have also found that many of the fans with "lifetime" lubrication are stretching it a bit. Whose lifetime? A gerbil maybe. They have to be disassembled and lubed about every two years.
I missed cleaning the fan every Saturdays. We have two standing fan and one also up the ceiling, I was made to clean two standing fans every weekend. The one in the living room and the other at our room and I was doing the work diligently while my dad took over the ceiling fan.
I'm too busy all time that I can't remember the last time that I clean the fans.
