Ceiling Fans will not save energy unless you raise the thermostat on your air conditioner by 5 to 10 degrees (or don’t use your air conditioner at all). The higher you raise your thermostat, the more energy you save since air conditioning consumes an incredible amount of energy compared to ceiling fans.

With that said, it is important to note that ceiling fans do not change the temperature in a room, they simply produce a breeze which creates a wind chill effect. So a ceiling fan that produces the most substantial breeze while using the least amount of energy is going to be your best “Green” choice.

Emerson Electric has recently introduced the ultimate “ECO Friendly” ceiling fan called the Midway Eco. The Midway Eco represents a breakthrough in ceiling fan performance proving to be over 300% more efficient than other fans according to comparison methods established by the EPA.
