How this is calculated
- ENERGY STAR lists the power this model draws but no yearly figure. We estimate the annual energy use ourselves, 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. Your use will differ, so treat the cost as a guide.
- Yearly cost = annual kWh × your rate. Monthly cost is the yearly cost divided by 12, a flat average. Five-year cost keeps the rate constant; prices will change.
- Statewide averages are not your utility’s tariff. Use your bill’s rate for a closer number.
- We do not estimate watts or hourly cost: the source data does not include them.

How much electricity does the Hunter 55161 use?
ENERGY STAR lists the power this model draws but no yearly figure, so we estimate about 44.5 kWh per year, 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. Your use will differ with how many hours a day the fan runs, the speed you choose and the months you use it.
How much does it cost to run?
At statewide average residential prices, the listed annual use costs about $5.66 in Nevada and $21.00 in Hawaii (EIA, 2026-08). Your own utility rate may be different; enter it in the calculator.
How does the Hunter 55161 compare with similar models?
Among 544 ENERGY STAR certified standard fan only models with a similar fan diameter, it ranks 109th lowest in annual energy use. Its 44.5 kWh per year is 21% below the median of 56.5 kWh.
What does CFM per watt mean?
It is the air a fan moves per watt of power at its listed speed, so a higher number means more airflow for the same electricity. This model is listed at 291.9 CFM/W.
