Energy Saving Fans

 

Electricity saving is electricity generating. Keeping in view this concept, it’s essential to make use of energy saving devices such as ceiling fans due to high energy bills these days. Saving electricity bills not only helps lower electricity consumption bills but also help in making healthy environment saving natural resources such as water, fuel etc.  

What energy saving fan is meant for?

Energy saving fan does not mean low quality fan that compromises with the comfort of user. Sometimes, to save energy, the use of ceiling fan with low wattage motor does not offer enough air to cool the room properly. Similarly low blade pitch fans used to save energy cannot provide enough air to cool the room. Low quality ceiling fan does not serve the purpose of energy saving because these fans cannot provide enough air to cool the room properly. So if you want to fix energy saving ceiling fans, don’t compromise on the quality of fans. The best energy saving fans are those whose efficiency is not affected by energy saving factors. When it comes to electricity bills energy saving fans make a world of difference.  

 

How to choose right ceiling fan?

To get maximum benefit from fan it is necessary to choose right size of ceiling fan according to the size of room. A variety of ceiling fan according to the size of blades varying from 29” to 54”, and 52” size ceiling fan is available. The size of room should be measured and ceiling fan should be selected accordingly with the help of following guidelines.   

 

S No.     Size of Room Suggested Size of Fan
 1. Up to 72 Sq ft 29” to 36’
 2. 72 Sq ft to144 Sq ft 36”to 42” 
 3. 144Sq ft to 225 Sq ft 44”
 4. 225 Sq ft to 400 Sq ft 50” to 54”
    

How to select energy efficient ceiling fans?

Opt for energy efficient ceiling fans that are both budget and environment friendly.
Latest technology offers energy Star Ceiling Fans that give energy saving benefits. Energy star ceiling fans circulate 15% more air than ordinary ceiling fans. By purchasing ceiling fans and other electrical equipments with Energy Star seal, you can reduce energy bills and can save electrical operating cost also. It is beneficial to both of your budget and environment.

 

How to get maximum use of ceiling fan?

To take maximum use and save energy, ceiling fan should be installed in the centre of room and in key locations/working area. For optimal performance, ceiling fan should be fixed 10” to 12” below ceiling and 7 to 9 feet above from floor level keeping blades at the distance of 18” from side wall. In any case if the gap between ceiling and ceiling fan remains less than 10” i.e., the efficiency of ceiling fan reduces up to 40% in summer since the blades of fan are too close to ceiling.           

Why energy efficient brand?

Energy star brand of the equipments is the need of time to promote energy saving program, protect environment and reduce green house gases. There are many incentives of using energy efficient products such as reduction in utility bills. And environmental benefits can also be achieved by using energy efficient fans.

In desert and in humid areas,ventilator are kept in houses(cross ventilation in a room is must and ventilators (with or without exhaust fans,better to have exhaust fan)to take away the heat exposed by cieling(cement,stone..beascuseduring day roof top get heated (sun rays) and during night it start getting cool,thus releasing heat inside room(cieling),and following principle of cieling fan,(take from back and push forward). We get hot air; even outside temperature of air is lesser the (radiated heat temperature) so. That heat must be exhausted outside the room, air intake will be from outside atmosphere (which get normally start getting cool after sun -set.

Run exhaust fan for say (2-3 hours only) when we feel outside temperature of air is lesser than inside room temperature). By doing this the temperature between ceiling fan blades and ceiling will get dropped and we can get cooled air. (If we are not using A/c”s).

Its my personel experience which I want to share. Do take advise from yours own energy expert or doctor etc,as I will not be responsible for any loss or damage.

Thank you.

I have read the article and it is very helpful in choosing a proper ceiling fan for your home, but it would be best if you can give some brand names who provide energy efficient ceiling fan.
