5 of our most popular ceiling fans in Australia 2026

Whether you're looking to cool down a stuffy bedroom, improve the circulation in an open-plan kitchen-living area, or make your covered deck more comfortable in summer, installing ceiling fans is a smart, cost-effective way to manage your home's climate. Ceiling fans cost only a few cents a day to run, making them considerably cheaper to operate than air conditioning. If you do have air con, running it in tandem with a ceiling fan can allow you to achieve the cooling effect you want for less than using air con alone.

On this list of models popular with our Australian customers this year, you’ll find options with energy efficient DC motors for silent operation, integrated LED lights for 2-in-1 convenience, and durable rust-proof blades suited to indoors or outdoors. When it comes to installation, models are usually available in a range of different downrod lengths to suit how low you want the fan to hang. With designs ranging from low-profile ceiling fans for tighter spaces to statement pieces, there’s something to suit every home and location.

The Haiku L by Big Ass Fans looks like a luxury statement piece, while delivering ultra-quiet cooling thanks to its direct-drive motor. It ditches standard particle-board blades in favour of hybrid resin aerofoils designed for maximum airflow efficiency. Its long 884mm drop tube makes it well suited for high ceilings.

It has 7 speed settings controlled via a remote and is compatible with the Haiku App for smart home integration, making it the most advanced option on our list. Also available in black and in a range of drop tube lengths.

In addition to sharing many of the same features as its stablemate model (#1), including the 7-speed remote control and a 5-year warranty, this Haiku L model includes a built-in LED light.

Its slightly smaller diameter makes it ideal for more compact indoor spaces, and the lightweight airfoils are crafted to resist drooping or cracking over time. It has a 128mm drop tube and a white finish, but like most models is also available in black and with a range of drop tube lengths.

This budget workhorse from Mercator is the cheapest option on our list and the only model featuring an 88W AC motor, which is less energy-efficient than the DC motors in the other models on this list.

It comes with a standard 3-speed wall control and has four white ABS plastic blades that push an impressive 11,340 m³/h of air. Because its parts are corrosion-resistant, it's tropically rated and versatile enough to be installed indoors or in covered outdoor spaces.

In addition to sharing many of the same features as its stablemate Mercator models (#3 and #5), including non-rusting ABS plastic blades and summer/winter reverse functionality, the Mercator Raptor steps up with a more energy efficient 35W DC motor.

It includes a 6-speed remote control and an integrated 20W CCT LED light that allows you to shift from warm white to daylight white and do away with the need for a separate central light fitting.

In addition to sharing many of the same features as its stablemate Mercator Raptor model (#5), including an energy-efficient 35W DC motor, thre-blade design and integrated LED light with remote control, the Mercator Jota features a rich dark timber-look finish and a slightly larger 132cm blade span.

This model adds a touch of warmth to any room while keeping long-term electricity running costs low.
