Turn It Off!
Save electricity and reduce waste heat by shutting off lights. Seldom used home electronics should actually be unplugged from the wall.
Items like DVD players, VCRs and cordless phones use 40 percent of their energy while in the off position to power functions like clocks and remote controls.
Save Energy in the Morning or Evening
Use ovens, washing machines, dryers and dishwashers in the early morning or late at night when it’s generally cooler outside. Use a microwave oven to cook, or barbecue outside, if possible.

Balancing a Ceiling fan
Most ceiling fans comes with clips and a small weight that you could attach to the top of the fan blade. I assume you have these. Place the weight on each fan blade, successively and spin the fan by hand.
This way you should be able to tell which fan blade is in most out of balance. After you determine the fan blade to attach the weight, you adjust the weight along the blade (by trial and error) after allowing the fan blades to get up to operating speed (electrically).
The further away from the motor housing, the greater effect, so start out with the weight close to the motor housing.
