Here’s what the numbers mean to you.
Designing ceiling fans that maximize performance for our customers has always been how we do business. We proudly display a rating system for each fan we offer, so you can compare fans with confidence.
Look for this rating guide listed with every Kichler® fan.
Engineered for Optimal AIRFLOW
Airflow is measured in Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM) – a U.S. Government-mandated standard.
• The higher the airflow number, the more air the fan is circulating.
Designed for Minimum
POWER USAGE
Power usage for your fan motor is measured in watts.
• The lower the watts, the less energy the fan consumes.
• DC motor ceiling fans are the most energy-efficient, using the least amount of wattage.
Built for Enhanced
AIRFLOW EFFICIENCY
Airflow efficiency gives you the total picture: dividing the fan’s CFMs by the watts of power it consumes.
• The higher the airflow efficiency number, the more air the fan is moving per watt.
Circulate Air With The Seasons

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
When it’s hot outside, set the fan to rotate counter-clockwise. The blades will push air down – creating a breeze or cooling effect on the people in the room.
CLOCKWISE
In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise.
The blades will pull the air up and around, moving the warm air that rises to the ceiling back down to the living space.
By changing the fan direction, you can adjust your thermostat up to +4° F when it’s hot and -2° F when it’s cold, which can save on energy costs.
