Everything you need to consider when buying an electric fan
A handheld fan is a summer must-have, and Jisulife’s unique offering is great because it converts to a desk fan when folded, as well as also serving as a battery pack and torch. The battery life is impressive - up to 21 hours cooling time on one charge. It’s charged through a regular USB socket, laptop or charger, using the cable provided. We also left it on overnight as a torch and it lasted till morning.
Meanwhile, air conditioners do actually lower the temperature of the air, making them a more powerful alternative to fans. However, they are generally more expensive to buy and they’re more expensive to run. A split unit costs 16p an hour to run, while ducted air conditioning costs £1.70 an hour - significantly more.It’s a common worry that electric fans are expensive to run, but MoneySavingExpert Martin Lewis.
“But the good news is you CAN use an electric fan to manage the heat without breaking into a cold sweat at the cost. “A typical 12-inch 35-watt desk fan would cost just over 1p an hour to run based on the Government's Energy Price Guarantee rates until the end of June, so about 10p if you leave it on all night . A big 50-watt tower fan wouldn't cost much more – about 1.7p an hour . If you have a large floor fan, they typically range between 10 watts and 120 watts, costing up to 4p an hour.”Place fans strategically around your home to create a breeze.
