Why BLDC Motors Are Changing Modern Fan & Air Circulator Design
If you’ve shopped for a fan recently, you’ve probably noticed four letters showing up again and again — BLDC.
They stand for Brushless Direct Current, and they’re quietly changing the way we cool our homes.
We've always believed that technology should serve people, not overwhelm them. And BLDC motor fans are the perfect example of that: smarter, quieter, and more efficient, without losing the beauty of simple design.
The best part? With Singapore’s Climate Voucher scheme, switching to one could cost almost nothing.
What is a BLDC motor?
It’s the little thing inside that makes a big difference.
Traditional fans use brushes — tiny parts that rub against the motor to make it spin. It works, but it creates friction, which means noise, wasted energy, and wear over time.
A BLDC motor, on the other hand, uses magnetic fields and sensors to do the same job — but without any friction.
The result is smoother motion, lower power draw, and a motor that lasts years longer.
In short:
- 60-70% less energy use
- Whisper-quiet performance
- More stable airflow control
- Fewer breakdowns or repairs
It’s the same kind of technology that powers electric cars and drones — now refined for something as everyday as a fan.
Why Singapore homes are falling for BLDC fans
In Singapore, fans don’t take a day off. Between humidity, rising temperatures, and compact home layouts, they’re part of daily life and daily bills.
That’s where efficiency matters.
A typical AC motor fan uses around 75–100 watts, while a BLDC motor fan uses just 30–35 watts. At the current electricity tariff of around $0.30/kWh, that’s about $60 a year in savings for every fan you own.
If you’ve got two or three fans running most of the day, you’re looking at $200–$250 saved yearly — without changing your habits at all.
Add the Climate Voucher, worth up to $400, and you could technically upgrade to a premium, energy-saving fan for free.
Sometimes, good design really does pay for itself.

How much can you actually save?
Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Type of Fan | Power Usage | Monthly Cost (10 hrs/day) | Yearly Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard AC Fan | ~80W | ≈ $8 | ≈ $96 | — |
| BLDC Fan | ~30W | ≈ $3 | ≈ $36 | ≈ $60/year |
That’s 60% lower power consumption — and when you combine that with your climate vouchers, your first year of savings could be greater than the cost of the fan itself.
