A Buyer's Guide to Choosing the Perfect BLDC Fan for Your Home

With the harshness of Summer heat, our reliance on cooling appliances, particularly ceiling fans, becomes imperative. However, for us Indians, regardless of the season, a ceiling fan remains the most used appliance in the household. Additionally, it significantly contributes to the energy consumption in your home, which makes it crucial for you to look for fans that consume less but do not compromise on efficiency. This is when BLDC fans come to the rescue, providing you with efficient functioning while substantially reducing power consumption. If you are yet unaware of this innovation, fret not, as GM Modular has got you covered with everything you must know about a BLDC motor fan. Consider this blog your guide to choosing the best BLDC fan in India.

What is a BLDC Ceiling Fan?

It is a type of synchronous electric motor that runs on direct current (DC). Unlike traditional ceiling fans, which are powered by induction motors, BLDC fans don’t rely on brushes to transfer current to the motor windings. Instead, they employ electronic circuits and permanent magnets to regulate the motor's rotation.

Advantages of Using a BLDC Motor Fan

BLDC fans are gaining traction for the plethora of advantages they come with. These fans offer:

• Energy Savings: BLDC fans consume significantly less energy, resulting in an over 50% reduction in power consumption which further leads to substantial savings on your electricity bills.
• Consistent Performance: BLDC fans deliver reliable air circulation even under voltage fluctuations, ensuring efficient operation and energy conservation.
• Noise-Free Operation: BLDC fans operate quietly with brushless DC motors, providing a peaceful and restful environment without causing disruptive noise, making them an ideal choice for various spaces in your home

How to Choose the Best BLDC Fan?

Now that you know everything that makes BLDC fans a good investment, it is time to learn the art of choosing the best. Here are a few tips that will help you make a sound choice when selecting a BLDC ceiling fan for your home with ease:

Consider the Sweep Size

A fan’s sweep size refers to the diameter of its blade rotation. It is usually measured in inches or millimetres, directly impacting the fan's coverage area and how air is distributed. For example, if your room size is up to 10 x 10 sq. ft., a fan with a sweep size of 1200 mm or 48 inches will make the best choice. However, if your room size is 15 x 15 sq. ft., you will need a ceiling fan with a sweep size of 1400 mm or 56 inches.

Check the Rod Length and Design

To ensure effective airflow and clearance, you must adjust the rod length of your ceiling fan. For ideal air circulation, you must install the fan at a height of 2.1 metres or more from the ground, maintaining a clearance of at least 30 cm from the ceiling. To do so, you must choose a longer rod for rooms with higher ceilings and a shorter rod for lower ceilings.

Look For the Highest BEE Star Rating

When purchasing a high-speed BLDC motor fan, you must ensure that it is BEE-certified. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has a rating system that helps recognise a ceiling fan’s energy efficiency. These ratings range from 1 to 5 stars, with a higher number indicating enhanced energy efficiency. In essence, it will help you identify how much electricity your fan will consume per year. A 5-star-rated BLDC ceiling fan is the most efficient in terms of energy savings, making our Excel35 ceiling fan a worthy choice.

Select The One That Matches Your Room’s Aesthetics

Purchasing ceiling fans today is more than just considering their air delivery or perhaps the BLDC fan price; it is about finding a ceiling fan that serves both functionality and complements the aesthetics of your room. From sleek and modern designs to a plethora of colour options, GM Modular brings you an extensive range of ceiling fans that cater to your room’s aesthetic and your personal preferences.

Consider the Warranty
