How to Use LED Lighting Supply's Free Ceiling Fan Consumption Calculator:
Determine the ceiling fan power consumption, measured in Watts (W). You can find the ceiling fan’s wattage by referring to the user manual or the ceiling fan’s rating label.
Determine the estimated number of ceiling fans to be installed. One of LED Lighting Supply’s Product Specialists can engineer a fan plan ahead of purchase and recommend the proper fixture with accurate fixture counts to align with your space requirements.
Determine the average electric usage per day for the ceiling fan, measured in Kilowatts (kWh per day).
Ceiling Fan Power Consumption (Wattage) Calculation:
To calculate how much power a ceiling fan consumes, multiply the ceiling fan’s Amps (A) by the Volts (V) to calculate the ceiling fan Wattage (W). Amps can be found on the ceiling fan’s label. As a benchmark, most ceiling fans operate on a standard voltage of 120V.
Ceiling Fan Wattage Formula:
Use the formula below to calculate the ceiling fan’s wattage:
- Power Wattage (W) = Amps (A) X Volts (V)
Determine the average electric usage per day (kWh/day) for the ceiling fan and average monthly electricity cost. Refer to your electricity bill to determine the average electricity cost (kWh).
Ceiling Fan Average Electricity Cost ($/kWh) Calculation:
Ceiling fan cost is significantly less than air conditioners due to their reduced energy consumption. To calculate the estimated electricity price of ceiling fans:
Multiply the average electricity usage per hour by 1,000 to identify the kWh usage per day. One Kilowatt (kWh) equates to 1,000 Watts (W).
Average Daily Electricity Usage Per Day Formula:
Multiply the average electricity usage per hour by 1,000 to identify the kWh usage per day. One Kilowatt (kWh) equates to 1,000 Watts (W). Use the formula below to calculate:
- Daily Average Electricity Usage (kWh per day) = Average Electricity Usage (per hour) X 1,000
Average Monthly Electricity Usage Per Day Formula:
To calculate the estimated monthly power consumption, multiply the sum by 30 (average days per month). Use the formula below to calculate.
- Monthly Average Electricity Usage (kWh per month) = Daily electricity usage (kWh) x 30
Click Calculate to find your new estimated electric costs and energy usage.
What are the Benefits of Installing an LED Lighting Supply Ceiling Fan?
Commercial and industrial ceiling fans reduce stagnant air with a consistent breeze zone. Installing ceiling fans reduces excess stress on air conditioner systems, cuts energy costs, and boosts energy efficiency by up to 15%. By improving air quality and regulating temperatures, worker productivity increases and profits are maximized. Ceiling fan airflow is identified as the amount of air that can be moved within a designated area over time.
How Much Power Does a Ceiling Fan Consume?
Several factors affect a fan’s airflow, including the fan’s shape, size, speed, and resistance during operation. A fan with a higher airflow will create the most continuous movement of air. Ceiling fans consume energy at different speed volumes to provide high-quality airflow. The ceiling fan power indicates the energy consumption while running at its highest speed. This electricity consumption calculator measures the fan’s power in Watts (W). The higher the ceiling fan wattage, the higher the electric bill costs.
