How Efficient is a Ceiling Fan with Heater?
Posted by Marylou Biederman in General
When choosing an efficient ceiling fan with heater, you need to consider three things, how efficient it is with electricity, how effective it is with air circulation and the quality and durability of the fan. The most feasible ceiling fan would be that of which has the best rating, most probably be #1/#2, well of course it doesn’t necessarily mean that a fan having the best ratio is always what you’re looking for, choosing a fan that consumes little power but moves very little air can also be considered efficient.
Energy star says that a fan earning their rating is 10-20% more efficient than other fans that are sold out in the market. To be able to qualify for energy star’s rating, a fan must reach a minimum airflow of 5,000 CFM and acquire an “efficiency rating” of 75 CFM/watt on high speed. This means rotating the minimum required amount of airflow would have to draw 67 watts or less, it usually means that a fan tagged by Energy Star may or may not be the best option but it’s more efficient.
It is always efficient for ceiling fan owners to know what speed and direction setting should be used as some ceiling fan heaters have different settings that can affect energy efficiency as well as room conditions. If you want the air to be circulated gently, in most cases, the settings for you is low in the downdraft setting, this only applies to rooms that have low ceilings.
If you are in a cold part of the room, it is advisable to you set your fan to a higher ceiling and change the settings to high in downdraft mode, this is to get all the hot air into circulation and send them to all parts of the room. Whatever your houses’s situation is – you will find the right model of ceiling fan to help your ventilation and heating needs
