How many Electric Fan is Equivalent to Power Consumption of a 1HP Aircon?

 To compare the power consumption of an electric fan to a 1 HP (horsepower) air conditioner, let’s break it down with typical values:

💡 1 HP Air Conditioner

  • 1 HP = 745.7 watts
  • Aircons are not 100% efficient; they often consume 800–1200 watts for 1 HP depending on type (window-type, inverter, etc.)
  • Let’s assume 1 HP = 1000 watts (1 kilowatt) for this comparison

💨 Electric Fan Power Consumption

Electric fan wattage varies by size:

  • Small desk fan: 30–50 watts
  • Stand fan: 60–75 watts
  • Industrial fan: 100–150 watts

We’ll use an average stand fan at 70 watts.

🧮 Calculation

If:

  • 1 HP aircon ≈ 1000 watts
  • 1 electric fan ≈ 70 watts

Then:

\frac{1000 \text{ watts}}{70 \text{ watts/fan}} \approx 14.3

✅ Final Answer:

About 14 electric fans (typical stand fans) consume the same power as one 1 HP aircon.
