Comparing apples with oranges? You just don’t do it, right? But what about an LED bulb with an EC fan? "What the tech?"

If you compare a lightbulb and a modern LED, the LED saves 90 percent in terms of energy, which is good for the environment, and good for your wallet. The best thing is that you can replace old with new in no time at all. The same applies to electric motors in fans. 

With the same air performance, the EC fan is not only more compact and lighter – its higher efficiency level makes it much more efficient than the AC fan. Its true energy-saving potential can be seen when several fans work together.

AC fans usually have two states: on and off. If you want less air flow, you have to deactivate a few fans. EC fans are infinitely adjustable. If you want less air flow, you can run all the fans more slowly. And this is where the magic happens. Let's say we want 50 percent air flow. We switch off half of the AC fans and save half the energy. Very simple.

We control the EC fans at half speed. And since fans consume exponentially more energy under top load, we can thereby save 87 percent of the energy. Almost as much as with the LED bulb. And, as with the LED, the higher procurement costs pay for themselves in a short time. Thanks to plug & play, replacement is almost just as easy.

That's why if you want to save, you should change over to modern EC fans – and you can play your part in protecting the environment at the same time. EC fans are a good way to save energy.
