The heat is at its peak and the air conditioner (AC) has been operational in almost every house. But a question is still in the minds of many people – is it okay to run a fan with AC? Some people consider it a waste of electricity, while some call it a cool -enhanced method. Let’s remove this confusion.

Why do people get confused?
Most people think that running AC and fan together cost more electricity. At the same time, some people believe that this makes the room cool quickly. Actually, lack of correct information is the reason for this confusion.

Benefits of running fan with AC:
Early cool: The fan spreads cold air rapidly in the room, causing uniform cooling throughout the room.

Low load, more savings: When the room cools quickly, AC does not need to run for long. This saves electricity.

Smart Uses: AC cooling is more effective by running a fan, and you also get better coolness on low temperature.

How is electricity saving?
If AC is run continuously for a long time, then the electricity bill increases. But when the fan moves together, the room temperature comes down quickly. After this you can either close AC or increase the temperature. This directly affects your electricity bill – less bill, more cooling!

This trick is not necessary in every room
In small rooms, where AC has high capacity (eg 1.5 tons), fan is not necessary there. But the fan in large rooms circulates cold air better. Therefore, decide by looking at the size of your room and ton capacity of AC.

Final Suggestion – AC + Fan = Smart Cooling
In this summer whenever you do AC on, run a fan as well. You will not only get cold, but will also get electricity saving and better air circulation. It is a smart and eco-friendly cooling hack that should be adopted in every house.
