Even an old and less-efficient fan is not going to be the electrical device making your utility bill totals rise to unreasonable figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n    <a data-amazonimages=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Prominence Home 51588 Reston Ceiling Fan, 48, Bronze\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B085W785LC?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31O3WATvLkL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Prominence Home 51588 Reston Ceiling Fan, 48, Bronze\" title=\"Prominence Home 51588 Reston Ceiling Fan, 48, Bronze\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31O3WATvLkL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Prominence Home 51588 Reston Ceiling Fan, 48, Bronze\" title=\"Prominence Home 51588 Reston Ceiling Fan, 48, Bronze\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fan-need-dedicated-circuit\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15641\">ceiling fans do not need a dedicated circuit<\/a>, and multiple fans or even fans and other devices can all be connected to the same circuit in a house with no disproportional risk to safety and function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Determining Factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of factors influence how many fans you can support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you need to consider the voltage rating of your circuit. This is the voltage that the circuit was designed to carry. The higher the voltage rating, the more it is able to support, while a low voltage rating will struggle to support high usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, ceiling fans with a high power rating (wattage) will use up much more of the available power than fans with a lower power rating. This means that you can have substantially more lower-power fans on the same circuit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to consider other appliances. If they are on the same circuit, then less power will be available to run multiple fans. Therefore, you will need to include the power rating of other appliances linked to the circuit in the total calculation. We&rsquo;ll get to the calculations in a moment, but first, you should know that breakers are rated higher than the circuits they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breakers Rated Higher Than the Circuit They Serve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the breaker is 15 A, the circuit cannot actually support 15 A well. In actuality, the circuit can only run 12 A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate.jpg\" alt=\"Breakers cannot support their actual rate\" class=\"wp-image-20177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Breakers cannot support their actual rate\" class=\"wp-image-20177 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Breakers-cannot-support-their-actual-rate.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Breakers are rated at 120%-125% of the circuit rating for both ease and safety purposes. If breakers were rated less than this, the circuit would unnecessarily trip too often. In addition, a safe amount of current would trip it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if the breaker were rated higher, then the circuit would not trip when it needed to, which would be a hazard. This could cause an overload on your circuit and ultimately lead to an electrical fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most Common Circuit Voltage Rating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common voltage rating in a residential dwelling is 120 V. Therefore, when calculating the available wattage, you should use 120 V. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be possible that your circuit has a different voltage rating, and if it does, this would likely be 240 V. However, in most American residences, 120 V is the standard voltage rating of a circuit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/can-dryer-plugged-regular-outlet\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11777\">Dryer outlets can be 240 V<\/a>, but that&rsquo;s because the dryers are often 240 V-appliances and require their own, specialized outlets.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Average Ceiling Fan Power Rating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The power rating of a fan depends both on the size of the fan and its power consumption. Typically, larger fans will consume more energy than smaller fans, but this is not always the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most ceiling fans use an average of 55-100 W, and it is what we will be using in our calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allowable Total Wattage for Circuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the total wattage (W) for your circuit, you need to multiply your current (I) by the voltage (V).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-central-palette-2-background-color has-text-color has-background\"> I x V = W<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we are using a 15 A breaker, the current will be 12 A and we will use the normal voltage of 120 V. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-central-palette-2-background-color has-text-color has-background\">12 A x 120 V = 1440 W<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calculating How Many Fans Can Be Supported<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the average wattage of a ceiling fan (55-100 W) and the total allowable wattage that we calculated above (1440 W), about <strong>14-26 ceiling fans could be supported by a 15 A breaker<\/strong>. However, this <strong>estimate assumes that no other appliances are on the circuit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of 14 to 26 ceiling fans can be supported by a 15A breaker\" class=\"wp-image-20178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Illustration of 14 to 26 ceiling fans can be supported by a 15A breaker\" class=\"wp-image-20178 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/14-to-26-ceiling-fans-can-be-supported-by-a-15A-breaker.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When calculating yourself, you can find the exact wattage of your fan on the box or in the online product information.
