How much does a ceiling fan cost to run in Spain?
Ceiling and pedestal fans sip power — typically 15 to 100 watts, a fraction of an air conditioner. A fan doesn't cool the air; it moves it, which makes you feel about 3–4°C cooler. That's the real value: run a fan and you can set the AC a degree or two higher, or skip it entirely on milder days, saving far more than the fan itself costs. Enter the wattage and hours to see just how little a fan adds to your bill.

Is a fan cheaper than air conditioning?
Dramatically. A fan uses a tiny fraction of the power of an AC unit. Used together, a fan lets you raise the AC setpoint for the same comfort.
