Electricity : Many times when the electricity bill of our house comes, we get tense seeing it, especially when it is a summer bill. Now thinking of saving electricity in such a way, it is heard that if we run the fan at a low speed then we can save electricity. But can high or low fan speed really save electricity? Or is it just a myth that we have been hearing for many years. So let’s try to know the answer to this question.
At what speed does the bill get affected?
In all houses, the speed of ceiling fan can be controlled with the help of a regulator… while some table fans also have speed controllers. In such a situation, the question is whether reducing the fan speed reduces electricity consumption. And by increasing the speed does the power consumption increase. Earlier everyone used to have electric regulators in their homes, which have now been replaced by electronic regulators. The old regulators used to act as resistors. These regulators used to reduce the speed of the fan… but the same amount of electricity used to go through the regulator.
Therefore, there was no significant effect on the saving of electricity. On the other hand, if we talk about the electronic regulator used today, then it works very well. If there is a regulator in our house, then it will definitely affect our bills as well. That is, fans with electronic regulators consume more or less electricity according to increasing or decreasing the speed.
How much electricity does a fan consume in a day?
Actually, 60 watt fans are running more in the market. Accordingly, if the fan runs for 18 to 19 hours in a day, then one unit of electricity will be consumed and if the fan runs at a high speed, then an average of 5 units of electricity is spent in a day.
How were the old electric regulators?
In the old regulator, the resistors i.e. the registers were used. He used to waste electricity. The job of these registers was to increase the speed of the fan. In this, there was no relation with the power consumption in increasing or decreasing the speed of the fan. If old regulators are still installed in your house, then you should also get new electronic regulators installed so that electricity can be saved.
