5 Things You Should Know Before Buying a Ceiling Fan in 2025 — Your Ultimate Buying Guide by Shakti Home

In 2025, ceiling fans are no longer just about air circulation — they’re smarter, more stylish, and energy-efficient. With a variety of options flooding the market, buying the right fan can be confusing. Should you go for a BLDC motor? What size is right for your room? How important is design? At Shakti Home, we help you make informed choices. Here’s a simple list of 5 key things you must consider before choosing your next ceiling fan.

1. Motor Type: Go for BLDC Technology

The motor is the heart of any fan. In 2025, BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) fans are the standard for energy efficiency and smooth operation.
Why it matters:
1. Uses up to 60% less electricity than traditional fans
2. Operates silently, with less heat and no humming
3. Longer lifespan with low maintenance
Shakti Tip: Choose from Shakti Home’s BLDC range like Fresho Plus, Fresho, or
Drona for modern, energy-saving performance.

2. Size and Sweep Matter More Than You Think

Fan size determines how effectively it circulates air. A mismatch can lead to poor airflow or wasted energy. Recommended sweep sizes:
1. Small Rooms (up to 75 sq. ft.): 900mm
2. Medium Rooms (75–150 sq. ft.): 1200mm
3. Large Rooms (150+ sq. ft.): 1400mm or dual fans
Shakti Tip: Always measure your room before buying — fan size and ceiling height play a crucial role in cooling.

3. Air Delivery and RPM: The Cooling Formula

Two technical specs to check:
1. Air Delivery (in CMM): Higher means better airflow
2. RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): Faster doesn’t always mean better cooling
Balance is key:
Look for fans that combine high air delivery (230–250 CMM) with efficient RPM (300–380), especially in BLDC fans.
Shakti Tip: Fans like Eresia and Fresho offer optimized air delivery with stable,
energy-saving speed.

4. Remote Control and Smart Features

Modern living demands modern control. Remote-controlled fans and smart features are no longer luxury — they’re practical.
Look for:
1. Remote control with speed settings, timer, and sleep mode
2. Smart app support or voice assistant compatibility
3. Memory functions for power cuts
Shakti Tip: Most BLDC fans from Shakti Home come with Point Anywhere
remotes and smart features for total comfort.

5. Aesthetic Design That Elevates Your Interiors

Your ceiling fan should match your room’s décor — not clash with it.
Fan styles for 2025:
1. Minimalist matte finishes for modern homes
2. Wooden textures for warm interiors
3. Sleek metallics for luxury and bold presence
Shakti Tip: Explore our design-focused models like Fealingo and Drona Plus —
combining elegance with high performance.

Conclusion

The right fan in 2025 is more than just functional — it’s a blend of technology, comfort, and style. By considering these 5 factors, you’ll make a smarter investment for your home.
