Just curious if there was anything I could do to prevent this from happening? Buy a new fan maybe?

 

It would be a good idea to test the draw that the fan has. It's no use in replacing it if it's working properly. You are blowing a fuse because there is a greater draw than what the fuse is rated for. That could be because of corroded connections, shorts or a a bad motor. I would suggest having the motor tested first.

Hope this helps!
