faqsAnswer

The BEE label reflects better service value, which means higher airflow per watt. 5-star models usually use BLDC motors with efficient blades, precise speed control, and lower losses, so you get similar comfort for fewer units compared with induction motor fans.

How does the power consumption of a 5-star rated fan compare to that of a normal fan?

faqsAnswer

A regular fan often draws about 70 to 80 W at high speed. A 5-star BLDC model for similar airflow can draw about 28 to 35 W. Over daily use this difference cuts monthly kWh significantly, especially in homes with multiple fans.

At 8 hours per day and ₹8 per kWh, a switch from roughly 75 W to roughly 30 W saves about ₹86 per month per fan. Multiply by rooms and months to see the yearly benefit. Heavier use and higher tariffs increase the savings.

faqsAnswer

Look for the BEE star label on the box and product page, along with the star year. For rooms used many hours a day, the premium pays back through lower bills and better comfort. If you plan phased upgrades, prioritise bedrooms and living spaces first.
