This fan is fairly powerful and quiet when it runs. Furthermore, the top level only consumes 30 watts, while the lower settings consume less electricity.
A 12 inch fan consumes how many watts?
The watts indicated by manufacturers is the maximum power rating, as previously stated. With each speed level, the real power usage varies. Let’s take a closer look at this.
I put my three-speed, 35-watt, 12-inch standard table fan to the test with an energy meter. The actual power usage was as follows:
- At maximum speed, 28.6W is produced.
- At medium speed, 26.4W
- At the slowest speed, it consumes 25 watts.
The power consumed at the lowest speed is just 71 percent of the maximum power rating of 35W in this scenario.
Actual consumption at medium speed is slightly greater at 26.4W, or 75% of the manufacturer’s advertised wattage.
At 28.6W, the maximum speed setting consumed 82 percent of the maximum wattage specified, yet my fan still didn’t exceed the 35W power rating.
Also, as you can see, the real wattage usage does not increase dramatically when we increase the speed settings. The majority of the work is done by increasing the motor’s speed to the lowest setting. After that, increasing the speed does not require as much energy.
What is the wattage of a small fan?
Smaller box fans (those less than or equal to 10 inches) utilize 27W on average, according to research into nearly 100 of the most popular box fans.
Small box fans have the lowest reported wattage of 5W and the highest recorded wattage of 45W.
Surprisingly, the lowest recorded wattage box fan is slightly lower than the lowest recorded wattage tower fan (6W). Check out the Tower Fan vs. Box Fan section for further information.

Who creates Honeywell aficionados?
Honeywell was acquired by AlliedSignal on June 7, 1999, and the company chose to keep the Honeywell moniker because of its brand reputation. The erstwhile Honeywell shifted its 114-year-old headquarters to Morristown, New Jersey-based AlliedSignal. “Technically, the agreement appears to be more of an acquisition than a merger…from a strategic sense, it is a merger of equals,” according to the press release. AlliedSignal reported $15.1 billion in revenue in 1998, compared to $8.4 billion for Honeywell, but the two firms share significant commercial interests in aerospace, chemical goods, automobile parts, and building controls.
Instead of Honeywell’s original headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the corporate headquarters were consolidated to AlliedSignal’s headquarters in Morristown, New Jersey. Over a thousand people lost their employment when Honeywell’s corporate office in Minneapolis closed. While a few employees relocated to Morristown or other business locations, the majority were compelled to find other careers or retire. The company’s stock dropped sharply after the merger, and it didn’t return to its pre-merger level until 2007.
To gain a larger portion of the fire-protection and security systems market, Honeywell bought Pittway for $2.2 billion in 2000 and integrated it into their Home and Building Control division, taking on Pittway’s $167 million in debt. Despite closing at $29 the week before, analyst David Jarrett said that “although Honeywell gave a significant premium, it’s still obtaining Pittway for a bargain” at $45.50 per share. Honeywell’s current unified controls systems were enhanced by Pittway’s Ademco solutions.
What is the best way to clean a Honeywell fan?
Before cleaning the Honeywell Table Fan, check sure it is turned off and unplugged. Wipe the fan down gently with a gentle cloth or cotton swab. To clean between the grilles, we recommend using a pipe cleaner, vacuum cleaner, flexible dustwand or compressed air to gently remove the dust.
Is it true that portable fans consume a lot of electricity?
Fans for pedestals, towers, and desks are inexpensive cooling options that are ideal for tiny locations. When compared to air conditioners, these fans are convenient, portable, and require very little electricity.
Is it true that fans consume a lot of electricity?
The average cost of running a fan in the United States is 0.0059 cents per hour. When running 24 hours a day, 14 hours a day, $0.99 per week, and $4.24 per month, this works out to 0.047 cent per night, 14 cents per day, $0.99 per week, and $4.24 per month.
Simply multiply the consumption in kWh by your cost per kWh to calculate the running cost of a fan.
The table below shows the cost of running various fan types for various lengths of time at a rate of 15 cents per kWh.
A ceiling fan costs little under half a cent per hour on average in the United States. If the fan is left on all night, 11 cents per day, 78 cents per week, and $3.36 per month, this works out to almost 4 cents per night, 11 cents per day, 78 cents per week, and $3.36 per month.
In the United States, a box fan costs little over a penny per hour on average. If left on all night, 26 cents per day, $1.84 per week, and $7.88 per month, anticipate to pay around 9 cents per night, 26 cents per day, $1.84 per week, and $7.88 per month.
In the United States, it costs about 0.0085 cent to run a tower fan for an hour. When left running 24 hours a day, 7 cents per night, 20 cents per day, $1.42 per week, and $6.10 per month are the costs.
The average cost of running a table or standing fan in the United States is 0.0064 cents per hour. When running 24 hours a day, 5 cents per night, 15 cents per day, $1.07 per week, and $4.59 per month, this works out to 5 cents per night, 15 cents per day, $1.07 per week, and $4.59 per month.

Are fans expensive to run?
No. When compared to other household gadgets, particularly cooling systems, fans are inexpensive to run.
The Energy Star certified GE Profile air conditioner, for example, is one of the most efficient AC systems on the market. When compared to the vast majority of other AC units, this one utilizes less power and so costs less to operate.
On average in the United States, this AC unit costs about 11 cents per hour to run at 0.71kWh. Even the most energy-efficient air conditioners cost 18 times as much to run as the average fan.
To put things in perspective, the cost of running an average fan for a week of nonstop operation is:
How much power does a fan consume per hour?
Not at all. The cost of running a fan is fairly low. A common ceiling fan, for example, consumes 50 Watts. The expense of running more powerful fans (with wattages of 100W+) can be rather considerable.
The cost of running most fans (10W to 100W) ranges from $0.0013 to $0.0132 per hour. Even if you run a 100W fan at maximum speed for an entire day (24 hours), you will spend about $0.32 per day.
First and foremost, we shall investigate how many watts a fan consumes. We can compute how much electricity a fan uses per hour, per day, per week, or per month using this information.
For instance, how much energy does a ceiling fan consume? A normal 50W fan consumes 0.05 kWh of power each hour. That’s less than a cent per hour with an average electricity price of $0.1319/kWh (0.66 US cents, to be exact). If you ran it for a day (24 hours), the 50W fan would cost you $0.16.
A ‘Fan Power Consumption Calculator’ can be found further down. Simply enter the number of watts your fan produces, and the calculator will determine how much it costs to run that fan every hour.
In addition, we’ve created a fan power consumption chart with computed operating expenses (per hour, day, week, and month) for fans ranging from 10W to 1000W.
Only two pieces of information are required to accurately calculate the running cost of any fan:
- What is the wattage of your fan? This is called as ‘running wattage,’ and it can be found on the fan’s specification sheet or label.
- What is the cost of electricity in your area? Obviously, greater power costs result in higher fan operating expenses.
Before you can use the fan cost calculator, you must first determine the wattage of your fan as well as the cost of electricity (cost per kWh).
Let’s have a look at how much power is used by fans:
