How long to recuperate the energy savings of a perfectly working ceiling fan that uses 60 watts. buying a DC motor fan that uses 25 watts or is it even worth the hassle
fan cost 89 +tax
energy savings 35 watts
energy cost 12 cents per kw
18.40 cents per year savings
5 years to break even

Buy a smart DC fan…you will be glad you did. 7-10 speeds and up to 70% more efficient than AC motors…and really quite.

I'm loving mine and put an watt meter on one to confirm power savings. Old fan used 30-40 watts on med 50-60 on high. New fan is 5 on low/medium 10 on med/high.

How old was your old fan? Seriously, people are not saving $76 annually. And you can't assume 24/7. Most people are not in your climate. Have fun fanning your hot air.

I want what you're smoking. I spend $2.50 / day for about 2 months a year. Your fans must be huge abominations. Do us a favor and stop making things up.
This guy must be smoking something similar. This is a review (not mine) of the Blakeford DC fan:

We are slowly replacing all our 10+ year old ceiling fans with more efficient modern DC motor fan...

We are slowly replacing all our 10+ year old ceiling fans with more efficient modern DC motor fans. This one runs just over 20 watts at full power (5000+CFM) compared to our older fan that used four times the power of this unit. As we run our fans much of the night in the bedrooms during the summer in Texas, the power savings add up. We calculated $60 per fan per summer of savings. Bonus is that the unit comes with very bright (but dimmable) led bulbs. The big downside to this unit is that it is NOT compatible with most 3 speed fan dimmers (or any that we could find). We use home automation to control our lights and fans, the lights on this unit worked fine with a z-wave led dimmer, however anything other than 100% on the dimmer and the fan acts up.. actually ran backwards on some settings. We are going to keep this fan as it wonderfully silent and very low power. I hope they come out with a unit compatible with 3 speed fan wall switches (our fan is on a 14 ft ceiling, so pull cords are far away).

Get them before they are banned. First it was gas stoves, now it is ceiling fans.
I think this one qualifies as "pre-ban", making it even "more gooder", since this is a "high-capacity ceiling fan"! Quick, buy them all and hoard them. They will cost $1500 each on the aftermarket next year...

Hey it worked with certain other items, why not ceiling fans? 😂

(I'm obviously joking)

Quote from SmilingGalley1918 :
From my research, the DC fans I've installed and looked into have the voltage conversions all built in so they wire up like a "normal" AC fan. You cannot use the typical wall switches that change speed as their motors are not directly wired for voltage controls by the wall switch. I have the light portion on a dimmer for mine, and that works to control light brightness, but fan speed control takes some sort of remote capability, if the fan has that kind of capability. I'd love to learn about ways to do this kind of control in other ways if anyone is aware of any!
That's what I assumed as well. I use TPLink Kasa smart wall switches so having the ability to run a standard AC switch matters. I rarely, if ever, change the actual fan speed so I can live with that part.

Question for the fan experts here: I bought a hunter Kaplan fan that is an AC motor (not intentionally). It is a 64" fan and I got it thinking it would move lots of air but has been a huge disappointment (barely feel the air sometimes). Initially I thought it was bc of a poor design in the downrod provided (very short) but now I am wondering if it bc of AC vs DC motor? Can anyone speak to this?

The motor is a motor and nothing to do with air movement other than speeds. Probably poorly designed blade pitch IMO. It is in summer mode huh.

Are ceiling fans on sale because of the Department of Energy's proposed regulations on them?

Any smart DC fan options? I have an AC one at home hooked up to the Lutron Caseta Homekit wall switch and I have to say the smart speed adjustment is nice, but it is loud. Wondering if I can get best of both worlds somehow (smart home integration and DC efficiency).

Also, do they become cheaper during BF? I'm not in a hurry so I can hold out unless this is it for deals.

I'm no expert, but I would try a longer downrod. If the fan is too close to the ceiling it can dramatically affect how much air it can push. I don't know the technical explanation, but the fan is "starving" for incoming air because of the limited space above it. If you have a smallish regular box or personal fan you can easily observe this effect by putting an obstruction close to the intake side of the fan, you will notice the force of the air dramatically decrease.

It could also just be a poorly designed fan too I guess. Look at reviews online to see if it is a common issue.
