Find out how much electricity "eats" air conditioner and fan per hour of work


While the prolonged heat continues, it is simply impossible to survive without an air conditioner or at least a fan. But what about electricity consumption? How much does each device “eat” per hour of operation?

One thing is for sure: Electricity bill will be higher in July both due to rising electricity tariffs and more active use of electrical appliances. A fan, naturally, “eats” less than an air conditioner, and although its efficiency is noticeably lower, it still provides a more pleasant atmosphere.

Prices are taken from the DEN calculation tool and are 14 cents per kilowatt-hour.

How much electricity does a fan “burn”:

  • A 60 watt ceiling fan running at full power for 10 hours costs €0.084 per day and €2.52 per month.
  • A 45 watt floor fan running at full power for 10 hours a day consumes €0.063 per 10 hours and €3.92 per month.

    (At half power, consumption is 2 times less)

How much does an air conditioner “burn” per hour and per day (month 30 days)
