How are BLDC Ceiling Fans Cost-Efficient?
We don’t think of ceiling fans when we talk of energy savings, do we? We do talk about big appliances including refrigerators, AC and how they consume a lot of energy. However, most people do not know that ordinary fans cumulatively consume more power than other appliances of the house. Thankfully, a BLDC ceiling fan is power-saving and also cost-efficient.
A BLDC fan reduces power consumption by up to 65% and in fact, it is also more cost-efficient. You might wonder, how? Well, one of the primary reasons is that these fans use less energy consumption but still generate the same amount of airflow. Now, let us understand how can BLDC technology help you save money.
A typical induction based fan consumes around 75 watts while a BLDC fan consumes about 30 watts. Fans unlike tube lights are used even during the daytime considering the room temperature remains high. Depending on this factor, look at the table below that mathematically shows how is a BLDC fan more cost-friendly than normal fans.
| Type of fan | Watt | Hourly consumption | Daily Consumption | Yearly Consumption | Yearly Cost |
| Induction based fan | 75 watts | 0.075 units | 1.125 units | 410.625 units | Rs. 2463.75 |
| BLDC fan | 28 watts | 0.028 units | 0.42 units | 153.3 units | Rs. 919.8 |
The price per unit of electricity in India is about 6 Rs for residential users. For metros, it might increase up to 10 Rs per unit, however, on average it costs about 6 Rs.
As seen in the table above, you can save approximately 1500 rupees a year with BLDC fans. A BLDC fan price is about 1,500 Rs while typical fans will cost you about 3000 Rs.
So, if you run your fans for more than 15 hours on a daily basis then you can expect to recover the complete cost of the fan in just two years in the form of energy-saving with BLDC fans.
Moreover, there is no heating of the motor in BLDC fans which increases the life expectancy of ordinary fans. They also do not have brushes and capacitors which need no maintenance and save energy.
This is how BLDC fans help you save energy and money in the long run.
