These days super hot so must on aircon. but do you know that turning ur aircon on and ceiling fan together can save u electric bills? Actually it has been a my practice to on aircon and ceiling fan for decades liao becos i cannot tahan hot. then if i turn aircon to 16 degree Celsius then imma freezing cold in the morning. So imma turn on ceiling fan to create a more stable temperature.

here's a long article.

Is it Cost Effective to Use a Ceiling Fan and AC at the Same Time?
There are a lot of ways to keep your house cool in the summer, and chances are you’ve incorporated more than one of them into your home already. For instance, ceiling fans are great and can really keep you comfortable in moderately hot weather. But when the heat and humidity really start to pick up during the dog days of August, you need something a little more powerful to take the edge off, and that’s usually some type of air conditioner.

One or the Other?

If you’re like most people, you switch off your ceiling fan when the AC comes on. After all, the air conditioner is powerful enough to cool the house on its own. So is it really worth it to expend energy running another, secondary cooling device?

In fact, it is. Ceiling fans in particular use very little energy. Yet they’re quite effective at making your home feel cool and comfortable. So there’s really no reason not to take advantage of their benefits while running your AC.

Cutting Costs

You might be surprised to learn that far from being a waste of energy, using your ceiling fan and AC at the same time can actually save you money. That’s because the cooling power of the fan allows you to turn up the thermostat on your AC unit a couple of degrees without compromising your comfort levels.

And turning up the thermostat on the AC just that small amount will translate into pretty substantial savings on your monthly energy bills. That savings will more than pay for the cost of running the ceiling fan, and you save money.

Better Air Circulation

Running the ceiling fan with the AC on or off is always helpful in terms of promoting good air circulation throughout your house. And the more air circulates, the more comfortable your indoor environment will be. Good air circulation is also important because it helps to minimize the number of air contaminants that build up inside.

More Efficient Heating

The benefits of ceiling fans don’t stop with cooling either. In fact, you can run them in reverse to help maintain even heating in the winter. Essentially, there are few investments you can make that will serve you better throughout the year than a ceiling fan regardless of the other home heating and cooling systems you have in place.


SOS icy cold.

Yup, actually it does.

To save more i usually set an off timer about 3 to 4 hours after i switched it on at midnight.

Besides, it is not a healthy lifestyle to only depend on aircond

I hardly turn on the aircon when sleeping, and the fan is switched to slowest.

Why? because I live on 20th floor and sleep naked, true story.
