Monte Carlo DC Motor Fan:

Cooling Energy Costs

The average energy consumer can take advantage of new energy solutions immediately at home. Beyond adapting simple energy-saving habits like turning the lights off in unoccupied rooms or keeping the thermostat at eighty degrees, the consumer can save energy and money by installing new technologies in their home environments.

For the last couple of years, Monte Carlo Ceiling Fan Company has been developing the Direct Current (DC) motor for ceiling fans. The DC motor for ceiling fans is a new and innovative design that is considered to be revolutionary. Today, the standard is an Alternating Current (AC) motor that uses a steel aluminum rotor and copper windings which depend on an electrical current to start and continually feed its electromagnetic rotation.

The DC difference arises from the use of industrial strength magnets to create a magnetic field that performs most of the work after the initial electrical charge. DC fans are also engineered with integral electronic drivers that (a) convert AC to DC, (b) controls the fan’s speed by reducing input voltage and (c) coordinates and aligns the magnets with the coils.

What does this mean to the average person who has ceiling fans in their home?

The DC motor exceeds Energy Star standards by 300%. In independent tests comparing fans with the DC motor against those with the AC motor, the former saved consumers an annual average of $45. The test conditions were limited to fans of a similar-size spinning 10 hours a day at an energy rate of $0.15 per kWh.

These models are homely and old-fashioned. But they weren’t developed to out-style the AC motor fans. DC motor fans were developed for performance efficiency. They are best suited for placement in high use areas like the bedroom and living room.
