Do Pedestal Fans Use a lot of Electricity?

Pedestal and desk fans are energy-efficient—they use far less power than AC or ceiling fans. Consumption depends on:

 

Size

16-inch fan uses less energy than a 20-inch model. Pair size to your room (small fan = small space).

 

Power Rating

Most range 30W–100W (less than a lightbulb!). Even industrial fans rarely exceed 100W.

 

Usage Time

Longer use = more energy, but costs stay low.

 

Speed Settings

Higher speeds use more power. Tip: Use high speed to cool fast, then switch to low.

 

Durability Matters

Sturdy aluminium fans like the Morris 16-inch combine energy efficiency with lasting durability. Here’s how to maximise lifespan:
✅ Lightweight Yet Strong: Aluminium resists corrosion and wear, ensuring long-term reliability.
✅ Motor Efficiency: A well-built motor (like ours) maintains performance over years, preventing energy waste.

 

 

What is the Point of a Pedestal Fan? 10 Reasons to Get One

Do you still need to invest in desk and pedestal fans? Here are 10 benefits you will enjoy when you get a pedestal fan for your space or business. 

1. Temperature Control

A desk or pedestal fan is effective for temperature control and can be an ideal substitute for air conditioners. The fan is movable and can be angled to direct and circulate air in any part of a room. Doing so creates a cooling breeze that is evenly distributed in a room. Pedestal fans work better for temperature control compared to conventional cooling methods, especially in hot summer months.

2. Energy Efficiency

Compared to air conditioners, desk and pedestal fans are much more energy-efficient. They consume significantly less electricity while still providing a cool and refreshing breeze, helping you save on energy bills. Custom features like varying the fan speed and angling the fan to direct cold air help push costs down as well.

3. Versatility

Desk and pedestal fans are highly versatile in terms of placement. They are an easy replacement for ceiling fans because you can place them on the floor, on a desk, or wall mount them to provide cooling. They have carry handles and a wide tilting angle to evenly distribute cool air in a room. Most modern pedestal fans can function as both home and warehouse fans.

 

4. Noise Level

If you are going to use a fan in your room or office for long periods of time, you want it to run quietly in the background as you go about your day.  A ceiling fan produces about 70 dB of noise, and it can be more with wear and tear in the long run. A pedestal fan used in the same room only produces 58 dB, which is below the normal conversation noise level of 60 dB. This tall fan would be perfect for providing a gentle white noise that promotes better relaxation and sleep.

5. Affordability

Desk and pedestal fans are more affordable if we compare them to conventional cooling systems like ceiling fans and central cooling systems. A high-quality 20-inch fan would cost no more than £60. You can get one or two standing fans as a cost-effective solution for keeping your home cool. It saves you money in the long run when you don't want to invest in a central air conditioning system.

6. Air Circulation

Proper air circulation is essential for maintaining a fresh and healthy indoor environment. Desk and pedestal fans help improve air circulation by reducing stuffiness, and preventing the buildup of odours and airborne allergens. For better air circulation, prefer an oscillating fan.

7. Customisable Cooling and Easy Maintenance

Ceiling fans pick up dirt and dust over time and can be hard to clean in their fixed positions. Pedestal fans are lightweight and easy to clean with a damp cloth. Wipe the main body, grill, and base with a wet cloth to remove debris, and the fan is good as new!

8. Easy Installation

Desk and pedestal fans require minimal installation. They are typically plug-and-play devices that don't require any complicated setup. You can start enjoying the cool breeze right away. Without the need for professional installation or extensive modifications to your home.

9. Backup Cooling Option

A pedestal fan is an ideal backup cooling solution in case your portable AC or central cooling system is out of order. Pedestal fans can use as little as 40 watts of power to reliably blow cool air into a room, with an airflow efficiency of up to 3450 CFM. Quality pedestal fans have multiple speed settings for different cooling needs; whether you want a gentle breeze or a high-velocity, a pedestal fan has you covered.

10. Health Benefits

Besides making your home more comfortable, desk and pedestal fans offer some health benefits. They help improve ventilation and, to some extent, reduce the levels of airborne pollutants in your home. Additionally, the cooling effect can alleviate symptoms of heat-related illnesses, such as dehydration, fatigue, and heat exhaustion.
