Ceiling fans are very efficient using as much power as a 100W bulb at full speed. Owning a ceiling fan not only helps keep you cool, but it helps keep your electricity bill cool too. Running the ceiling fan during the summer with your air conditioning on will help circulate cooled air to make your air conditioning more efficient. Running the ceiling fan in reverse during the winter helps circulate warm air around the room, helping you lower your heating bill as well.
