Summer makes people realize that they have a table fan. The ceiling fan assists indeed - but the table fans just fill the gaps. They will be portable and most importantly they are less expensive to purchase. But are they cheaper to run? That's the real question.
Assuming your home has two or three table fans along with ACs and geysers, the electricity used by the table fans will begin to pile up faster than you had expected. The good news is that knowledge of using such fans can help you reduce your bill.
The majority of the standard table fans in India are between 35 watts and 70 watts. That is the average output you can get, a smaller 12-inch table fan may only consume 35-40W and a larger one of 16-inch may even consume 60-70W.
Why the difference? It primarily depends on motor size, and the diameter of the blade and the manner in which the airflow is designed.
When somebody asks table fan kitne watt ka hota hai we can say the truthful answer is: it depends on the size and motor, but 40-55W will cover most of the fans sold in India today.
Table fan watt and table fan wattage are one in the same thing the amount of watt fan you are using at any particular time.
Your fan has a sticker on the back or bottom of the fan that will always have this number printed there. Find a label with such a text as 220 V -50Hz, 55W. That is the rated wattage of your fan of 55W.

Table fan watts per hour is simply the amount of energy consumed by the table fan per hour.
The formula is simple:
As an example, consider a case where you run a 50W table fan 8 hours in the summer. Here's how the math works out:
But now suppose we had a family operating three table fans of the same length of time. That is 36 units alone of table fans - about 216 Rs per month. Not negligible at all.
Whether you have a strong fan or not depends on a variety of factors:
An inexpensive small watt table fan You can reduce the amount of electricity your fan uses by almost 50 percent with a low watt table fan - a low 25-35 W fan with a BLDC motor. Initial price is more, or typically 1,500-2,500 proportional to that of a standard fan, but it pays in 2-3 years in savings.
In a household that is already in a high electricity tariff slab (more than 200-300 units/month), use of low watt table fans will allow you to slide to a lower slab - i.e. the savings are multiplied.
The power consumption of standard ceiling fans in India usually is 70-75W, but BEE star-rated fans may be as low as 28-35W. Thus, an ordinary table fan (50W) consumes less energy than an ordinary ceiling fan (75W).
Approximately, comparison at normal use (8 hrs/day, 30 days,6/unit):
The differences are clear. The cheapest to run is either a BLDC table fan or a 5-star ceiling fan — both far better than their older counterparts.
This is counter-intuitive, yet true
A fan consuming 50W (full blast) would only attract 28-30W at low speed. Thus, two running fans at Speed 1 jointly consume 56-60W - hardly any more than a single full-speed fan.
The air flowing out of the two fans will be much more in balance and the room will feel cooler even though the power used will be similar or less.
This is particularly effective in bedrooms when you do not wish to have a blast of air but in a diffused manner.
It is little things that count in a summer. Here's what actually works:
Place the fan strategically: A fan that is directly before you (1-2 metres) are much more refreshing than the one that is across the room and is operating at full speed.
Clean the blades monthly: The buildup of dust compromises the airflow and increases the intensity of work of the motor.
Use a timer or smart plug: By setting the fan to switch off as you fall asleep (i.e. more than 90 minutes) you can save 3-4 units per week without you realizing.
Avoid running old fans: With a fan that is more than 8 years old, it is likely that it is depleting more power as compared to a new one of the same size.
Match fan size to room size: The little fan in the big room is cranked to the full blast and still does not perform.
In case you are shopping for a new fan, you must not only check the price tag. Check the wattage. In case available, look for BEE star ratings. Use BLDC motor models in case of a lot of fans. And never pay attention only to the brand or appearance of the label, but also to the wattage.
Isolated power consumption of table fans is not a big factor. However, it is a bigger picture because all the appliances in your house have a running cost that is not reflected until your bill comes. When you know the quantity of a table fan that you are actually consuming, you are in a position to make smarter decisions, not only to purchase one gadget, but rather as a routine.
Ans: No. A typical table fan uses 35–70 watts, which is relatively low compared to many home appliances.
Ans: A table fan uses much less electricity and is portable, while an air cooler provides stronger cooling but consumes more power and water.
Ans: Most table fans consume about 35–70 watts per hour.
Ans: A ceiling fan consumes slightly more electricity (around 60–90 watts) compared to a table fan (35–70 watts).
