“Typical” means the median annual energy use of 1,254 current ENERGY STAR certified ceiling fans (55 kWh a year), multiplied by the price. It is a standardized figure, not a measurement of your home. For this product the yearly kWh is our estimate from ENERGY STAR’s listed power, assuming 8 hours a day at the average of its low-speed and high-speed power, with standby power for the other 16 hours, every day of the year.
