Top BLDC fans in India: The best new ceiling fans with BLDC motors

When buying a new house or renovating your existing home, you might be interested in replacing your ceiling fans too. Alternatively, if your old fan isn’t working too well, it might be a good time to look at a modern replacement which utilises newer technologies for more efficient functionality and running. BLDC (brushless direct current) fans utilise a more modern motor technology that comes with certain advantages which help with reducing energy consumption, noise, and other factors related to functioning.

Top 6 BLDC fans in India

1. Crompton Hyperjet Plus  

2. Atomberg Renesa+ (140cm, 3-blade) 

3. Atomberg Renesa+ (120cm, 3-blade) 

4. Havells Libeccio BLDC

1. Crompton Hyperjet Plus (120cm, 3-blade)

The Crompton Hyperjet Plus is a strong value-for-money offering, featuring a 35W ACTIVBLDC motor, along with a blade length of 120cm. There are five speed settings and sleep modes, and the fan can be controlled with the included remote control, which means that you don’t have to get up and access the fan switch and regulator to adjust the power and fan speed. The size makes it suitable for most rooms, including bedrooms and office cabins, and it is also available in two modern colour options. 

2. Atomberg Renesa+ (140cm, 3-blade)

The Atomberg Renesa+ BLDC fan has three 140cm blades, making this larger than most of the 120cm options available. This ensures higher airflow, and makes it better suited to large rooms up to 225 square feet in size. It’s also 5-star rated, and thus promises lower power consumption. The fan is also remote-controlled with five speed settings and sleep modes, and there is also an LED indicator for the speed which can double up as soft lighting for your room.

3. Atomberg Renesa+ (120cm, 3-blade)

The Atomberg Renesa+ also falls under the Renesa+ series and has about the same feature set. However, it sports smaller, 120cm blades. Expectedly, the airflow is a bit less, but so is power consumption, making this an efficient option for medium-sized rooms up to 120 square feet in size. It’s also remote controlled and features soft LED lighting, along with the visual indication of the fan speed using the same LED lights at the centre of the appliance. 

4. Havells Libeccio BLDC

While most ceiling fans come with a 3-blade setup, the Havells Libeccio has a 4-blade system which improves airflow despite the blades being the standard 120cm size. The fan is also remote controlled with a timer and five speed settings, and the 5-star electricity consumption rating means that you can expect considerable savings thanks to lower power consumption by the ceiling fan. The appliance also promises a low-noise experience, which is a key advantage of BLDC fans as compared to older induction motor fans. 

5. Atomberg Efficio

Featuring three smaller 90cm blades, the Atomberg Efficio is ideal from smaller rooms of around 100 square feet or less in size. This BLDC ceiling fan can also be remote controlled, with five speed settings and a sleep timer. There is also a boost mode, and the fan is rated to spin at a speed of 500rpm. The 5-star rating also means that this fan operates efficiently with considerably lower power consumption. 

6. Bajaj Energos 26

Positioned as a value-for-money BLDC offering from Bajaj, the Energos 26 features three 120cm blades. The fan is also remote controlled with multiple speed settings. The Energos is said to consume just 26W of power at its peak speed, resulting in considerable savings over conventional fans. The fan is appropriate for home use in rooms of up to 120 square feet, or even office cabins.  

While they are more expensive than conventional fans, the cost difference isn’t too much, and that too can be recovered over time via lower electricity bills. This should encourage buyers to upgrade to BLDC fans.
