It’s not often that we review ceiling fans, but recently Signify — the same company behind Philips Lighting — announced their Ecolink BLDC ceiling fan lineup, offering four regular BLDC motor ceiling fans and two smart, Wi-Fi-connected variants. One of the six fans is the Ecolink AiroElevate, a 5-star BEE-rated energy-efficient ceiling fan that promises to cut your power bills without cutting airflow.
In fag end of April, the AiroElevate landed at my doorstep which I have been testing in Jaipur’s peak summer heat summer for 15 straight days with temperatures soared past 43°C.
If you’re wondering whether this above ₹3,000 can take on other BLDC fans from competitors like Atomberg, Crompton Energion, and Orient I-Tome, let’s find the answers in this review.

Ecolink AiroElevate BLDC Fan Review: Design and Build
From the moment you unbox the Ecolink AiroElevate, it’s clear this isn’t just another budget ceiling fan trying to undercut on price. Signify, the brand behind Ecolink, is making a play for design-conscious consumers who don’t want to compromise on form, even when shopping for something as utilitarian as a ceiling fan.
The fan ships in two finishes — Silk White with Rose Gold accents, and Espresso Brown with Copper — both of which look premium, which justifies its ₹8,700 price tag would suggest. The unit I tested, in Silk White, fit cleanly into a mid-tone, in my room without drawing unnecessary attention.
Where most ceiling fans at this price range — including popular BLDC options from Atomberg or Crompton — settle for a function-first design, the AiroElevate takes a different approach. The seamless three-blade design, with its angular edge cuts and uniform curvature, feels more intentional. It doesn’t pretend to be a statement piece, but it’s clearly designed to integrate well with contemporary interiors, especially in spaces where design consistency matters.
The two-step canopy is a small but notable detail. It covers the ceiling mount, the wiring, and the motor base cleanly, which does two things: reduces dust accumulation and gives the fan a more finished, coherent look. This is a design decision most brands skip in this segment — and it shows.
Installation was uneventful, in a good way. The adjustable ceiling mount gives just enough flexibility to tweak the height, useful if you’re installing in a room with slightly lower ceilings or want alignment with existing decor elements. That kind of subtle adjustability is often missing even in more expensive models.
The build quality is solid for the price. The dust-resistant matte coating on the body and blades is effective — after 15 days of use during the peak of Jaipur’s dry summer, there was minimal visible buildup. More importantly, cleaning is straightforward. A damp cloth gets the job done.
Compared to other energy-efficient ceiling fans in India under ₹10,000, the AiroElevate makes a strong first impression. It isn’t trying to reinvent anything, but it is trying to get the basics right, and it mostly does.
Ecolink AiroElevate BLDC Fan Review: Performance, Airflow, and Noise
The Ecolink AiroElevate backs that design with airflow. It uses a 100% copper-wound BLDC motor, pushing up to 230 CMM of airflow at 370 RPM. Even at mid-level speeds, the room feels significantly cooler. In fact, most days I didn’t need to max it out. There’s an immediacy to the airflow that’s often missing in cheaper BLDC fans, especially ones hovering around the same price bracket. Compared to other popular energy-efficient ceiling fans in India, like Atomberg Renesa or Havells Efficiencia, the AiroElevate feels tuned for actual user comfort, not just energy savings.
EcoLink AiroElevate BLDC Ceiling Fan also has a reverse mode to circulate warm air during winter. It’s a feature that we look forward to checking in the winter season later this year.
And speaking of comfort, the noise levels are barely noticeable when the speed level is set to three. No mechanical whine. No odd motor drone. But when I switched on turbo mode, the level of air flow was more than any other regular fan. In turbo mode, the fan does produce some noise, but it won’t create a hassle in your calls as it fades in the background.
Then there’s the 5-Star BEE energy rating, which gives you the confidence that this isn’t just good for your room — it’s good for your power bill too. Over 15 days of usage, I noticed the energy draw was hovering around 35W, even during round-the-clock use in the peak of Jaipur’s summer. And when the power inevitably cuts out — as it tends to do — the AiroElevate keeps going for hours on an inverter. That’s not just a convenience, it’s a must-have feature in Indian households facing frequent power outages.
Ecolink AiroElevate BLDC Fan Review: Remote Control and Smart Features
The Ecolink AiroElevate ships with a compact RF remote, and frankly, that’s a smart choice. If you’ve used infrared (IR) remotes before, switching to RF remotes will seem like a more sensible upgrade. With an RF remote, you don’t have to aim or point towards the fan to work. You just press a button and the fan responds.
There’s a noticeable immediacy to the controls. Turn the fan off, and it doesn’t just stop—it winds down with a smooth deceleration that feels engineered rather than incidental. Tap to adjust the speed, and it happens right away. This kind of responsiveness that you don’t get with regular fans.
The remote itself is no-nonsense. No extra buttons. No confusing modes. Just the core functions — on/off, speed levels, and timer controls — are laid out in a way that doesn’t require a manual.
Still, at this price under ₹9,000 for an energy-efficient fan, you start to wish it came with just a little more. Namely, smart connectivity. Ecolink does offer IoT-enabled variants in its lineup, like the AiroGeometry Smart, which works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, but the AiroElevate doesn’t get that treatment.
And that’s a missed opportunity. As home automation trends in India pick up momentum, smart home integration is becoming more of a baseline expectation than a bonus feature. Being able to control your fan using your phone or voice, or integrate it into Google Home or Alexa routines, is a feature that makes life easier, especially when you’re building out a connected home.
If you’re on the hunt for a smart BLDC fan with Alexa or Google Assistant integration, you’ll want to look one notch up in the Ecolink lineup.

Review Verdict: Should You Buy the Ecolink AiroElevate?
The Ecolink AiroElevate gets the fundamentals right and quietly sneaks in a few smart design decisions that make everyday use genuinely better. For around ₹8,700, what you’re getting is a stylish, energy-efficient ceiling fan that performs like it belongs in a higher tier. It’s quieter than most conventional fans, moves a ton of air even at mid-range speeds, and looks refined enough to complement a thoughtfully designed room.
Sure, it skips out on IoT features — and in a world where smart home integration is inching toward standard, that’s worth pointing out. But what it does deliver is rock-solid RF remote control, near-silent operation, and genuine power savings, which is really the pitch here.
If you’re looking for a silent, energy-saving ceiling fan for work-from-home use, or want to reduce your power bills without sacrificing on airflow or aesthetics, the Ecolink AiroElevate is a smart bet. Just know what you’re trading: clean execution over cutting-edge connectivity.
