The following information has been copied from www.energystar.gov We appreciate the opportunity to share this valuable information with you, the consumer. Please use the above link to access the official ENERGY STAR® website for additional, valuable information.
Ceiling fan/light combination units that have earned the ENERGY STAR® are about 50% more efficient than conventional fan/light units. This can save you $15-$20 per year on utility bills, plus any additional air conditioning or heating savings you may gain when your fan is operated properly.
Earning the ENERGY STAR® label
While ENERGY STAR® qualified ceiling fans use improved motors and blade designs, you can dramatically increase your savings with ENERGY STAR® qualified lighting. If your fan doesn't include lighting, be sure to purchase an ENERGY STAR® qualified light kit. This lighting is efficient and long lasting, so you won't have to make frequent bulb changes.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution
To save energy while using a ceiling fan, whether with a standard or an ENERGY STAR® model, use the following tips:
Ceiling Fan Installation and Usage Tips
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily on the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure quality and product performance.
Note: consumers should read and understand manufacturer instructions before attempting to install a ceiling fan.
- Choosing the Appropriate UL-Rated Electrical Box. Make sure that you use the appropriate UL-listed metal box. This outlet box is mounted above the ceiling fan and also is the point where the fan is attached. This box houses all wiring needed to operate and connect the ceiling fan. If you are replacing a ceiling fixture, most likely you will need to replace the electrical box.
- Mounting the Ceiling Fan. If possible, the ceiling fan should be anchored to a ceiling joist. In the case that the joist is not located in the center of the room, a special ceiling fan mounting bracket with spiked ends should be installed between joists. Keep in mind that ceiling fans can weigh as much as 50 pounds!
- Balancing a Wobbly Fan. (see the FAQ section on the Home page.)
- Turn Off When Not in the Room. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.
- Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer, use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you "feel" cooler. In the winter, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan - additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!
