Synchronous motors are much more efficient at converting electric power into motion. However, the speed of the motor is controlled by the frequency of the electric supply. So a synchronous motor ceiling fan would be much more efficient, but the speed of the fan would not be controllable, unless frequency controlled power supplies (inverter power) are used.
