Floor Fan Kwh

Cost of buying and operating a floor fan.

Blower fan pc. Using a kill a watt energy usage monitor we measured the energy impact of each. 002 kwh in the xpower fc 200 and the holmes remote control tower fan respectively youre talking less than one penny of energy costs per hour. Lets do calculations about how much itd cost to run the floor fan.

So if your fan is 70 watts output on its high setting and you always use this divide 70 by 1000 007. Cost power kilowatt time hour cost of 1 kwh pence. This means that when you run the numbers your tower fan will probably cost 001 002 per hour to run depending on your electricity costs per kwh.

The electricity consumption of a ceiling fan ranges widely depending on the design and the speed setting of the fan. In most cases floor fans are more powerful than pedestal fans. Ceiling fans help cool a room by moving air which causes evaporative cooling.

Click calculate to find the energy consumption of a 48 inch ceiling fan using 75 watts for 3 hours a day at 010 per kwh. When set at low speed fans use between 15 and 30 watts and at high speed they consume between 50 and 100 watts. An conservative estimate cost per month is around 6 8 to run an 80w 100w fan for 12 hours a day.

The units were pretty close in kilowatt hour kwh usage with the brookstone and honeywell performing best at 003 kwh used. A standard floor fan costs between 25 and 350 dollars. Energy usage of about 40 watts at medium speed is typical.

Finally since these fans might run all night its worth considering their energy impact both on the environment and your utility bill. Even if you took the largest delta we saw 007 kwh vs. While we did test all of the fans for energy efficiencyboth with and without oscillationthere wasnt much differentiation between models.

A medium sized motor with a fan blade blows air through a plastic grating. Fans range in size from 36 inches to 56 inches using 55 to 100 watts a typical 48 inch ceiling fan will use 75 watts. Power use varies from low 75 watts to medium 91 watts to high 116 watts.

Some floor fans also include a heating function with a max output of 2kw a similar level of electricity consumption to some air conditioners. Floor fans consume a similar amount of electricity to tower fans around 100w again costing about 29c per hour. The cost largely depends on fan speed efficiency for how long you use it and whether you use lights with it or not.
