As temperatures continue to rise in summer, you’re probably wondering whether you should switch from an expensive AC to a fan. Then, you will still want to know if your fan will consume lots of electricity if used for the whole day. Perhaps, AC is still a better and cost-efficient alternative to get relief from the heat? No. In general, regardless of the type of fan, it consumes less energy than the air conditioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, RG Electric<\/a> will look at the running costs of fans to figure out how much they can add to your electricity bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To understand how much electricity a particular fan is going to use, you have to consider the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several common fan models, and each of them comes with a certain amount of wattage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s work out the running cost of a ceiling fan with a wattage amount of 45W. Once you know the wattage of your fan, you can use this formula: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kwh = Fan Wattage x Duration of Use in Hours\/1000<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s convert that into dollars. If the average cost per hour to run a fan in California is 25 cents, then over one month, you will pay around $2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides, fans have a few modes, usually more than two. For instance, a faster rotation mode requires more electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The data may differ from yours, as the power consumption of different models varies, including various durations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike an AC, the main advantage of a fan is its low cost and that it consumes less electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On average, if left running 24\/7, ceiling fans use approximately 0.2490 kWh per night, 0.7561 kWh per day, 5.226 kWh per week, and 21.99 kWh per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fans don’t use lots of energy. And here are a few tips for those who want to pay even less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RG Electric serves hundreds of area homes from our office in Los Angeles, and our electricians are experienced experts in ceiling fan installation and repair<\/a>.
