AC vs DC Fans and their energy efficiency
What’s the difference between AC and DC ceiling fans?
Feeling the heat lately? Is your electricity bill still rising? Upgrading or installing ceiling fans are an affordable and efficient way to cool down your home this summer.
A common question we get at Electrical Embassy is:
“What’s the difference between AC and DC ceiling fans?”
AC ceiling fans have been around forever. They are your typical entry-level-priced ceiling fans. You might be familiar with their four modes: Off, 1, 2 or 3 speed.
DC ceiling fans are relatively newer and use more advanced technology to deliver a smoother, quieter operation. DC fans are more energy efficient than AC fans. They’re also slightly more expensive.
Did you know? Some DC fans have a sleep function — no more waking up in the middle of night to adjust the fan!
Air conditioners vs Fans, or both?
Air Conditioners are great at cooling air, but they’re not great at circulating air around a room. That’s where indoor fans are useful.
A ceiling fan circulating air, and an efficient Air Conditioning system, working together, can cool a larger area or entire home more efficiently.
Is it time for an upgrade?
Modern fans come in a variety of ranges, sizes and looks. They look great and can add instant value to your home and help refresh a tired living space or bedroom. They’re also easier to clean and more efficient than older models.
