This study of 1,000\u2019s of fans compares ceiling, box, tower and table \/ pedestal \/ standing fans to reveal the most efficient fan type and models. So how much electricity does a fan use in 2024? Find out below.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Different types of fans consume different levels of power and deliver different levels of efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below are key findings from a study (updated to capture 2024) of thousands of different fans<\/strong>, a comparison of different fan types and the most efficient fan models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some spoilers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Ceiling fans are the most efficient fan type<\/strong> – they move the most air per watt;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Box fans are the most efficient fan type for personal cooling<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The average fan wattage is 39.3W<\/strong> (33W<\/strong> is most common) – 6.9W<\/strong> on low speed;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Based on wattage, fans use 0.0393 kWh of electricity per hour<\/strong> on average (all fan types combined); and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the US, on average, it costs $0.0059 per hour<\/strong> to run a fan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The results in this article are based on the most comprehensive fan power consumption study ever completed<\/strong>. The results are used extensively online, unfortunately without citation in most cases.
