271 60 in Ceiling Fans, Ranked by Efficiency

Ceiling fans, 60 in class (60.0-64.9 in), sold in the US. Ranked by CFM per watt (higher is better) — the airflow a fan moves for each watt it draws — not running cost. Indoor and outdoor-rated fans are mixed and tagged below.

← All fan sizes

Why not running cost? A ceiling fan uses so little power that even the biggest efficiency gap here works out to a few dollars a year — not a meaningful number to shop by. CFM per watt (how much air it moves for each watt) is what actually separates a good fan from a mediocre one.

271 ENERGY STAR certified models, from 137.4 to 483 CFM/W (median 231).
