How much energy does an air conditioner use in fan mode.
A dc fan as opposed to an ac fan running directly on the 110 volt alternating current coming out of your wall outlet is extremely.
It may seem logical to think that a fan for an air conditioner is the same as a fan that you use in a room thought this is not the case.
My window ac unit just recirculates indoor air.
A typical ac fan motor uses about 500 watts when it s running.
However the difference in power consumption will largely depend on a few factors such as how cool the unit is set to.
Therefore the fan uses about 360 kwh per month in the on mode.
The fan mode and switches are one such example.
An ac unit on fan mode usually consumes about 150w with the fan running while the ac unit consumes 1000w when on default or cool mode.
Also if your goal is to get outside air inside the window fan is a much better bet.
It s easy to understand what an air conditioner is supposed to do but sometimes knowing what each function does can get complicated.
If yours does bring in some outside air its probably not more then 20 or so.

So it is not a ceiling fan it is a mode of the air conditioner or refrigerator.
