Hello,
I use a fan and I would like to know if it will have an impact on my electricity bill, as it is mostly on during this heat.
Does a fan consume a lot of electricity?
If you have reliable websites or other sources, they would be welcome.
Thank you in advance.

To know the electricity cost, you need to know the power of your fan: for example, 250 watts.
If you can't find it, but you see the amperage, you just need to multiply the volts (120v in America or 220V in Europe, if I remember correctly) by the amperage, which will give you the power of your fan.
So, this fan will consume 250 watts in one hour: 0.25 kilowatt.
You just need to know the price per kilowatt/hour and you will be able to determine the cost of usage.-
Alright. I feel like I understood something, but let me tell you what I understood and you can tell me if it's correct:
Under my fan, there's a label that indicates: 220 V / 50 Hz / 75 W.
I am currently in Morocco and here the price of kWh is about 0.79 dirham.
75W = 0.075 kW
So: 0.075 multiplied by 0.79 dirham = 0.05925 dirham per hour.
Is that correct?
Thank you in advance!! -
