Agent Update

The U.S. Department of Energy has updated its energy efficiency standard for ceiling fans, leading to significant benefits.

The U.S. Department of Energy has updated its energy efficiency standard for ceiling fans, leading to significant benefits.

• Lower Energy Bills: Households will save an average of $25 per fan, while business owners will save $128 for each large industrial fan.
• Reduced Energy Consumption: The new standard reduces ceiling fan energy use by over 25%, conserving enough electricity to power 17 million U.S. households for a year over the next three decades.
• Environmental Impact: By cutting energy use, these standards contribute to reducing global warming without compromising indoor air quality or comfort.
Innovation meets safety – New Carlon® Blue™ Fan-Rated Ceiling Box is above the rest!
Innovation meets safety – New Carlon® Blue™ Fan-Rated Ceiling Box is above the rest!

Produced in Tennessee, backed by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and extensively tested, the NEW Carlon® Blue™ fan-rated ceiling box from ABB Installation Products helps keep your home safe. Rated for a 50 lb. light fixture and 35 lb. ceiling fan, ABB’s Carlon Blue fan-rated ceiling boxes meet the latest industry requirements for ceiling fan support with vibration-proof screws through reinforced metal brackets to provide greater strength than plastic alone. Learn three key reasons why ABB ELIP innovated the new fan-rated ceiling box:

• About 19,700 people are injured from ceiling fans falling due to improper mounting every year. *
• Over 70% of American households have at least one ceiling fan and nearly 25% use four or more. Increasing demand for ceiling fans offering energy efficiency, integrated technology and smart features are spurring the need for properly rated support.**
• The 2020 NEC now requires new construction projects to install electrical junction boxes listed for ceiling fan use. The 2023 NEC was revised to require outlet boxes for the sole support of ceiling suspended (paddle) fans to be marked inside so that the marking can be seen during a rough inspection.***
