Should a fan of winter or 2-way air conditioning be used in winter?

Many people will feel anxious in choosing between 2-way air conditioning and fan heating when the weather becomes cold. Between these two products, which one is better and more economical? Find answers through this article of Quantrimang!

I. Comparison criteria between 2-way air conditioner and heating fan

About the price

Of course, 2-way air conditioning will have a much higher price than heating fans. A basic 2-way air conditioner with a price below 7 million VND, a high-end model with a unit will amount to several tens of millions. Meanwhile, with only a few hundred thousand dong, you can own a heating fan to overcome the cold winter days.

About power consumption

Regarding power consumption, these two devices also have a big difference. However, the advantages belong to 2-way air-conditioners. A fan has a lower price, but it consumes much more power than air conditioner.

About functions used

When using 2-way air conditioner, you will be able to use it to cool and warm. In the summer, it will bring a cool breeze to dispel the heat, and winter will become an essential heating device. Generally this 2-way air conditioner is usable all year round.

In the meantime, you can only use a fan in the winter.

2-way air-conditioning will also provide a warming capability in a wider area, while a heating fan usually only warms a certain area.

In return, the heating fan gives the ability to warm up much faster than 2-way air conditioner. It takes only 5 to 10 minutes to see the space warming up a lot.

Another important thing is that heating fans often dry the skin more than air conditioning, especially in winter when the climate is already dry. That is why many people often leave a wet towel in the room with a fan to create humidity for the room.

However, no matter which of the two devices you choose to use, we recommend you to install an attached humidifier. In some high-end air conditioners, the humidity function is also integrated, if you choose to buy this type, you do not need to buy more.
