When you think of fans, you immediately think of hot summer days, but a fan can also be a useful addition in winter, especially if you have higher ceilings, as hot air collects here and you heat more than is absolutely necessary. A fan ensures that the air is better distributed in the room.
A ceiling fan is not absolutely necessary for this – you can also point a powerful floor or table fan upwards. That should save quite a bit on heating bills.
The power consumption is not as dramatic as one would think, because many fans consume between 15 and 20 watts at maximum level, some between 30 and 40 watts – only very few models really consume more. If in doubt, it is worth at least taking a look at the consumption we have measured before making a purchase.
