BLDC vs Normal Ceiling Fan: which really saves more?
A BLDC ceiling fan uses about 29-38W against 75-100W for an ordinary fan - saving up to 65% electricity, roughly Rs 2,000 or more per fan every year - and an Aapanam BLDC fan adds a 5-year motor warranty instead of the usual 2. Here is the full, side-by-side comparison.

|---|---|---|

How much will you actually save?
Example - one fan running 16 hours a day at Rs 8 per unit:
- Ordinary 75W fan: about 438 units/year, about Rs 3,504
- Aapanam BLDC 29W fan: about 169 units/year, about Rs 1,355
- You save about Rs 2,100 per fan every year (~61%) - roughly Rs 10,000+ over the 5-year warranty.
Actual savings vary with your usage hours, electricity tariff and fan model. Figures are illustrative, based on rated wattage.
