Air conditioner or ceiling fan?

Question

Which one consumes more energy?

Answer 1

A/C unit consumer more energy. Unless the outside temp doesn't exceed 85 degrees a ceiling fan would be ok. If it gets hotter then get an A/C unit along with the ceiling fans that way you won't over use the A/C and save some energy.

Answer 2

I usually tell my customers air conditioning costs as much as heating your house. There are other side benefits though. You also get dehumidification. Depending on where you are located, this may be a great benefit. A ceiling fan only moves air.

Answer 3

air conditioner by alot but i never have felt any great cooling affects from ceiling fans they either blow the heat down to where your at or they leave a dusty brown circle on your ceiling

Answer 4

An air conditoner does consumer more energy and the electricity is very costly.  use a ceiling fan.
