How to estimate tower fan electricity cost
- Use the wattage of the fan model you actually own or plan to buy.
- Estimate realistic summer runtime, especially during evenings and overnight use.
- Compare fan cost with portable AC cost to judge where comfort and cost meet.
How to reduce running cost
- Use a fan to reduce AC runtime instead of stacking both at full intensity.
- Pair fans with shading and ventilation during cooler hours.
- Compare multiple fan sizes before buying a larger unit.
