How much electricity does a ceiling fan use?
A ceiling fan uses roughly 29 to 100 watts depending on the motor. An ordinary induction fan draws 75-100W; a modern Aapanam BLDC fan runs on just 29-40W depending on the model. Compare electricity costs using rated power, usage hours and your tariff.
| Fan type | Power | Units / month | Cost / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary induction fan | 75-100 W | about 36-48 units | about Rs 288-384 |
| Aapanam BLDC fan | 29-40 W | about 13.92-19.20 units | about Rs 111-154 |
Based on running 16 hours a day for a 30-day month at Rs 8 per unit. Actual cost varies with your usage hours, tariff and fan model.
Cut your fan electricity bill
At 16 hours/day for 365 days and Rs 8/unit, replacing a 75 W fan with a 29 W model gives an illustrative saving of Rs 2,149/year; a 40 W model gives Rs 1,635/year. Calculation: (old watts − new watts) ÷ 1,000 × hours/day × days × tariff. Actual savings vary; compare model air delivery and usage.
Frequently asked questions
How many watts does a ceiling fan use?
An ordinary induction ceiling fan uses about 75-100 watts at full speed. A modern BLDC ceiling fan, such as the Aapanam Vixa, uses only 29-40 watts for the same air delivery.
How much does it cost to run a ceiling fan per month in India?
Running 16 hours a day at Rs 8 per unit, an ordinary 75-100W fan costs about Rs 288-384 a month, while an Aapanam BLDC fan (29-40W) costs about Rs 111-154 a month at the stated usage and tariff.
Do BLDC ceiling fans use less electricity?
Yes. A BLDC (brushless DC) motor is far more efficient than an ordinary induction motor, cutting fan electricity use by up to 65% while giving the same or better airflow.
How can I reduce my ceiling fan electricity bill?
Switch to a 5-star BLDC ceiling fan. It uses 29-40W instead of 75-100W, so you save up to 65% on fan running cost - an amount determined by your model, usage hours and tariff.
