  • Feature more efficient motors and superior blade designs.
  • Have the ability to reverse the motor and airflow direction, so you can operate your ceiling fan year-round.
  • Non-lighting component(s) are warrantied for at least three years.
  • Meet rigorous standards for energy efficiency, quality, and performance, with testing by accredited third-party labs.
  • Some models are equipped with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to control them with your smartphone or voice assistant for even more efficient operation!

The ENERGY STAR Promise

Helpful tips for enhanced energy savings

  • Switch it off when you leave! Fans don’t actually cool a room—they cool the occupants by circulating air. So turn fans and lights off on your way out and reap the savings.
  • Combine fans and air conditioners to further reduce your energy bills. Set your thermostat two degrees higher and use ceilings fans to circulate cool air. This can reduce your air conditioning costs by 14%.
  • If your ENERGY STAR certified ceiling fan doesn't include lighting and you want to add it, be sure to purchase an ENERGY STAR certified light kit. ENERGY STAR certified lighting is efficient and long lasting, reducing the need for bulb changes.

Regulations set the energy efficiency minimum

Ceiling fans are subject to Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations, which set a minimum performance standard for their energy efficiency. Find details in the Introduction to the Regulations.
