National Ceiling Fan Day is almost here!

Even the most average ceiling fan uses much less power to cool a room than a central or room air conditioner. On average a room air conditioner uses 1000 watts to run while a ceiling fan on high uses 50 watts. That’s a big difference not only in energy, but on your electric bill later.

2. Advances in technology have made fans more energy efficient than ever.

Recent technological advances have allowed for fans to save even more energy and money. For example, DC motors, which have been implemented in many new products, use up to 70% less energy than AC motors. It is also more common recently that light kits feature LED lights, which are more energy efficient as well.

3. fanSync makes it easier to conserve energy. 

Many features of fanSync, a mobile application used to control ceiling fans, make it almost impossible to waste energy. For example, the Safe Exit feature shuts off fans a minute after you leave the room, if enabled, so fans won’t run unnecessarily. And if you’re the forgetful type, fanSync allows you to set a timer, making your fan turn off at a predetermined time so you’ll never leave it running while you’re at work again.

4. The ENERGY STAR label is a great indication.

If you’re in the market for a new, energy efficient fan, look no further than to those that have received the coveted ENERGY STAR recognition by providing the newest energy saving technologies. To read more about how fans receive that label, click here.
