Difference Between AC and DC Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans may seem simple, but there are design elements to consider when choosing the right one. One important factor is the difference between DC and AC fans. They differ in the type of current they consume. Ceiling fan motors run on either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). AC fans are powered by an alternating electrical charge, while DC fans use a continuous flow of direct current.
DC fans are often viewed as more environmentally friendly than AC fans due to their energy efficiency. They use 50-70% less power to produce the same output as traditional AC fans, making them a highly eco-friendly option.
At Hayes, we believe in offering the best products for our customers. That's why we only sell DC ceiling fans. Here's why:
- Energy Efficiency: DC ceiling fans are far more energy-efficient than AC fans. They have a maximum power draw of just 35 watts on high, compared to 60-90 watts for AC fans. On low, DC fans draw as little as 5 watts.
- Noise Level: DC fans are incredibly quiet, with no motor hum. This is because DC power doesn't induce hum in the motor like AC power does.
- Price: While DC fans are more expensive than AC fans, they offer great value for money. With prices starting at P10,000 and up, they are a smart investment that will save you money on energy costs over time.
- Speed Control: DC fans come with a remote control that can be used to control fan speed. Our Hayes remote control has 6 speed selections, a reverse function, and light control (dimmable). Unlike AC fans, which must be controlled by a traditional 3-speed wall control.
