Plug in ceiling fan

A plug-in ceiling fan is perfect for people looking for a temporary cooling solution. They can be used in rental apartments and homes, on camping trips, in outsize gazebos and college dorm rooms. For people and businesses who do not want or cannot install a hardwired ceiling fan a plug in ceiling fan is an excellent option. Consider the following questions before purchasing a ceiling fan with a wall plug.

What types of plug-in ceiling fans are there?

There are many different styles of ceiling fans with power cords to fit any aesthetic. Variations include indoor versus outdoor, blade style, color, material and setting options. One of the main things to consider is weather rating. Some plugin ceiling fans are meant for indoor use only, while plug in outdoor ceiling fans can be rated for damp use such as a plug in ceiling fan for a gazebo, while other outdoor ceiling fans with plug in cords are rated for wet use meaning they can come into direct contact with rain and other inclement weather. There are also plug in ceiling fans with lights built in, that offer the best of both worlds, especially in rooms that do not have recessed lighting. Buyers should take in functionality as well as aesthetics when purchasing a ceiling fan with wall plug.

Do plug-in ceiling fans use a lot of electricity?

Operating a portable plug in ceiling fan utilizes much less energy than an air conditioner. Using a ceiling fan that plugs into outlet can greatly reduce energy bills while effectively cooling any room in the house. A properly installed ceiling fan worked by circulating the air in the room while pushing air down. This creates the wind chill that people feel and helps provide heat relief through evaporative cooling. The larger the blades on the fan, the greater the energy usage, however, a ceiling fan will continue to use a significantly less amount of energy than an air conditioner.
