WHAT ARE ENERGY STAR QUALIFIEDCEILING FANS?

ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fans move air up to 20% more than conventional models due to:

• Improved blade design (i.e., blade pitch, aerodynamics)• More energy-efficient motors (more cooling per unit of energy)

Ceiling fans with lighting include ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs that last up to 10 times longer and use 2/3 less energy than incandescent bulbs—saving energy, money, and time replacing light bulbs.

SAVING ENERGYEQUALS SAVING MONEY

ENERGY STAR qualified products use less energy and cost less to operate resulting in:

ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fans with lighting are up to 50% more energy efficient than conventional ceiling fans with lighting, saving consumers between $15-25 per year.

SAVE MONEY YEAR-ROUND

Ceiling fans can be used year-round to maximize energy and cost savings

Summer MonthsCeiling fans cool you off during the summer months – adjusting the thermostat during use can save money on costly air conditioning bills.

Winter MonthsReverse the airflow direction and operate the fan on low speed to push warm air trapped at the ceiling downward into the living space, allowing the thermostat to be adjusted and saving on heating bills.
