How to read this page

Como ler este número

What the number measures

This is the power draw reported under the U.S. DOE test procedure for ceiling fans — a standardized lab test, not a measurement from a real home.

De onde vem o dado

data.energystar.gov, collected 2026-10-09

Figures come straight from the U.S. EPA's own Socrata dataset (dataset 2te3-nmxp), under the EPA Data License. Last model added to this category: 2026-10-02.

Cuidado

ENERGY STAR only covers certified models

This list only includes ceiling fan models the manufacturer submitted for certification — it is not every ceiling fan sold in the U.S., and a model being absent does not mean it is inefficient. Figures are of power draw, under lab conditions; your own bill depends on size, settings and how much you use it.

O que fazer com isso

Check a specific model yourself

Open the raw dataset or search the brand and model number directly on the manufacturer's own EnergyGuide label before buying.

How big is the certified ceiling fan market?

As of 2026-10-02, 1,456 ceiling fan listings carry the ENERGY STAR certification — ceiling fans certified under ENERGY STAR. It is a smaller, more specialized list than categories like refrigerators or dishwashers, which makes individual model specs more worth comparing one by one.

What is a typical ceiling fan power draw?

Certified ceiling fans range from 9 W to 100 W of power draw — more than a 11x spread, mostly driven by size and features (capacity, ice makers, smart controls, variable-speed compressors). The average across the whole certified list is 31 W of power draw, but that number means little without matching it to the size of unit you actually need.

Which certified ceiling fan uses the least energy?

The most efficient model in the dataset is the Hunter 53766, at 9 W of power draw — close to the catalog minimum of 9 W. "Most efficient" here is a single data point, not a buying recommendation: capacity, features and price matter too.

ENERGY STAR

ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program that certifies appliance models meeting a set energy-efficiency threshold. Certification is voluntary for manufacturers and does not cover every model on the market.
