how much does a ceiling fan cost to run?
Title

First and foremost the running cost depends on the input wattage of your fan. Ceiling Fans come in a wide range of options and have variable power wattage figures. The general rule of thumb is that, the more power wattage, the more running cost. 

 

Typical ceiling fans available in Pakistan range from 50 to 90 watts. Fans come in different sizes and sized fans or penta(5) blade fans require more power than average-sized fans. However, recently, in the Pakistani ceiling fan market, Eco-Smart fans have been introduced by Tamoor fans which consume only 30 watts, exceptional to say the least. 

Factors Affecting the Cost of Running a Ceiling Fan

An important step in understanding the running costs of a ceiling fan is knowing all the factors that affect the cost. The following factors play a crucial role in determining the running cost of ceiling fans in Pakistan. 

Power Wattage of Fan

Per Unit Price of Electricity in Pakistan

Another important aspect in deciding the running cost of your ceiling fans is the per unit price of electricity. A unit of electricity is equal to 1000 watts and our electricity bills depend on how many units we consume. We’ve all heard our Pakistani dads tell us to minimize load so we can minimize units. This is because the per unit price of electricity for 100 units is much less than 300 units per month. For comparison, per unit price for 100 units is 22 Rs, and per unit price for 301 units is 41.5, almost double. This means if you have lots of electrical appliances your running cost will be more than someone who uses less of other electrical appliances(keeping usage time of ceiling fans the same). 

Usage Time

However, the most crucial factor is still the usage time. If you’re using your ceiling fan all throughout the day obviously that’ll mean you’ll consume more electricity and hence more cost. Another thing with usage time is efficiency, with more usage time you’ll experience lower efficiency. 

Fan’s Efficiency

Ceiling fan efficiency is an extremely broad term to be fair. Nevertheless, it can simply be said that, the easier it is for the ceiling fan to run, it’ll have higher the efficiency. This means that excessive usage will make the motor hot which means more heat loss. 

 

Moreover, humid weather can also make the situation trickier and make the fan less efficient. Less efficiency means a fan that was originally operating at 45 watts now might consume 50-55 watts for the same performance, hence, more cost. 

 

We’ve done all but calculate the running cost of a typical fan in Pakistan, so, let’s do that.

Calculating the Running Cost of Fans in Pakistan

For this scenario let’s consider a household that consumes 280 units of electricity other than the fan.  Let’s take an average-sized fan, rated for 70 watts(0.07 kWh) consumption per hour and used for 12 hours a day daily. 

Simple Formula for Cost Calculation: 

Units = Fan Wattage (kW)×Hours Used Per Days x Number of Days 
Price = Units x  Electricity Rate (PKR/kWh)

For Example

Units = 0.07 x 12 x 30 = 25.2 units

Price =  25.2 x 41.5 (price for 301- 400 units)
Total Price = 1045 Rupees

So, an average ceiling fan consumes approximately 25-26 units per month and can cost you 1000 rupees of running costs in a small-sized household. Things change drastically, however, if you use AC, Iron, Juicer, and other heavy appliances. 
 

Average Fan vs Tamoor Fans’ Ceiling Fans

However, there’s no need to worry about the rising electricity prices if you get yourself one of Tamoor’s ceiling fans. Tamoor has a wide range of ceiling fans and one of its most astounding products is the Eco-Smart 30-watt series. All these ceiling fans operate at 30 watts per hour. 

 

For comparison, Tamoor’s Eco-Smart fan will consume only 10.8 watts per month in comparison to the 26 watts of an average fan. This means you can use 2 Tamoor Ceiling Fans for 12 hours and still get less electricity bill than your neighbor using one ceiling fan from any other company. Another advantage of Tamoor’s fans is that you can even get penta blade fans with Eco-Smart capabilities (40 Watts), which would be ideal for bigger rooms. Tamoor Fans are here to support you when no one else will. 

Tips to improve running cost

If you don’t have a Tamoor’s Ceiling Fan but still want to reduce the running cost of your ceiling fans, word not, we’ve got some tips and tricks for you. 

Don’t Operate at Maximum Speed: Operate the fan at a Medium-high speed to ensure less heating and more efficiency for longer running hours.

Manage Usage Time:  Don’t have your fans running when no one is in the room. Your father was right, turn off the fan before leaving your room. 

Instead of 2 small fans use 1 large-sized fan: It’s always recommended to use 1 large-size/penta-blade fan instead of using 2 small-sized fans in a medium to large-sized room.

Regular Maintenance: Regularly clean your fan and change its capacitor (more on capacitors at ‘add the link of another blog’).

Don’t keep these tricks a secret, spread the word, Okay?

Conclusion

To conclude it all, the cost of running a ceiling fan depends on factors like wattage, current electricity rates, and usage time. By switching to energy-efficient options, such as Tamoor Fans’ Eco-Smart series, you can significantly reduce your electricity bills. These fans consume less power while delivering top performance, making them a smart choice for any household. Follow our tips to optimize your fan’s efficiency and lower costs. However, the best option would be upgrading to Tamoor Fans for long-term savings. Stay cool, save money, and share these tips with others! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.
