September 18 – National Ceiling Fan Day

nPosted on September 18, 2017

n
nWe are celebrating ceiling fans?

n

n

n

nWell, actually, today is a giant experiment: We are asked to turn off our air conditioners and utilize only ceiling fans (and wall fans, desk fans, all kinds of fans) today.

n

n

n

nIf every American did that, in our homes and businesses and other buildings, just this one day, we would save enough electricity to power all of NYC for months.

n

n

n

nThat’s because central air conditioning systems typically run on about 3 kilowatts and cost about 36 cents an hour to run, whereas a good ceiling fan only draws about 30 watts to run, and therefore costs about 1 cent per three hours of use.

n

n

n

nThat’s HUGE!

n

n

n

nHere is a source for those figures, updated to the first of the year.

Ceiling fans can look very cool. Here are some neato styles:
