Everyone will tell you that ceiling fans are energy-saving - compared to what - an air conditioner? Well that may be true, but electric ceiling fans have been around since 1882 and although they're no longer run by sewing machine motors, there hasn't been any great advances in ceiling fan efficiency, until now....
Gwarehouse's new, real energy-saving ceiling fan features an ultra energy efficient, precision balanced DC motor which, contrary to regular AC motors, uses significantly less energy to keep the fan rotating. Whilst some energy is used to accelerate the fan from stationary to active, or between speeds, once the fan has established a speed it becomes much more energy-efficient. Special magnets in the motor keep the fan rotating with very little energy expenditure.
The actual energy used by a ceiling fan depends on the size of the fan, the design and number of the blades, the speed at which it's set and how long it's left on.
If a conventional AC ceiling fan uses a similar wattage to a halogen light bulb, then the Gwarehouse DC ceiling fan is more like an LED light bulb in energy consumption.
The light bulb analogy can also be extended to the production of heat. Both halogens and AC ceiling fans produce a fair amount of heat whereas the Gwarehouse fan doesn't.
Most fans have just 3 speeds. The first setting is so slow you might as well leave the fan off. The second speed is pretty fast and usually too fast to sleep under. The third speed makes the fan sound as if it's ready for take-off. One of the big benefits of a Gwarehouse DC Ceiling Fan is that it has 6 speeds, with 2 extra speeds between the standard first and second settings. And if you decide you need to use one of the higher settings, the noise won't bother you at all.
