AC Ceiling Fans
AC ceiling fans are a cost-effective and time-tested motor that can provide ample power at a low cost for your cooling needs. A ceiling fan using an AC motor connects directly to the household power supply and draws current similar to most household appliances. AC motors have been around for a long time and are relatively simple so have a low rate of failure. Should an AC motor ceiling fan have an issue, it is usually another component, not the motor itself. Ceiling fans that use AC motors are typically less expensive to buy upfront, however less energy-efficient than DC alternatives. They most often come with a 3-speed wall switch as standard, and optional remote controls can be supplied as accessories for added convenience.
