Running a fan on low speed to save electricity is a mistake
If you want to save electricity when using a fan, don’t just focus on keeping it on the lowest speed. There are many other ways to reduce electricity costs while using a fan.
Fans are familiar cooling devices that most households have. Unlike air conditioners, fans are more affordable, consume less energy, and don’t require complex installation.
However, during extremely hot days, running a fan almost all day can still result in significant electricity costs.
Some people believe that using the fan at a lower speed will save energy and reduce electricity usage. But is this really true?
In reality, many people have conducted experiments to check whether running a fan on a high or low speed consumes more energy. A quick search online will show you many such experiments.
One user on a YouTube channel focused on electronics innovations measured the power consumption of a fan running at two different speeds. The results showed that whether the fan was on the lowest or highest setting, the difference in electricity consumption was almost negligible.
At the highest speed, the power consumption recorded was about 0.17W, then gradually reduced and maintained at around 0.13W. At the lowest speed, the power consumption was recorded between 0.12-0.13W.
This indicates that whether you run the fan on a high or low setting, it doesn’t significantly impact power consumption.
To save electricity when using a fan during hot weather, consider the following tips:
- Use the fan at a medium speed: Avoid setting the fan too high. Choosing a moderate speed will provide enough cooling without negatively affecting health or pushing hot air around the room, which can cause discomfort.
- Limit the use of additional fan functions: Many fans on the market now come with extra features like ion generation, misting, and indicator lights. Using these functions alongside the fan’s cooling capabilities will undoubtedly increase power consumption. Therefore, it’s advisable to only use these extra features when necessary.
