Williwaw is the only credible alternative to air conditioning and saves up to 30% on heating costs.

Williwaw: the most ecological fan on the market

Replace your air conditioning and reduce your heating consumption by more than 30%*.

*in the room where it is located, and if your heating system is thermostatically controlled

The Williwaw pedestal fan is a French design combining an efficient and economical DC motor with digital control, with a specially designed propeller to generate a wide air flow, from breeze to storm, as quietly as possible. Each component is selected for its durability, and transport is optimized to reduce its carbon impact.
Ventilation
The Williwaw’s silent power allows it to generate a finely adjustable airflow at 15 progressive speeds, from light breeze to storm!
Automation
Configure and let it work: Control Williwaw via its app for easy temperature management and programming. This fan effectively combines optimal airflow and silence, ensuring comfort and ease of use.
Destratification
The Williwaw’s adjustable head allows you to adjust the direction of its airflow. In winter, when its remote temperature sensors detect the temperature difference between floor and ceiling, the Williwaw will automatically activate to create a vertical airflow, from bottom to top. The Williwaw will push the “cold” air against the “warm” air accumulating on the ceiling, creating convection which will bring the “warm” air back down along the walls, harmonizing the temperature to create greater thermal comfort, while generating heating savings of over 30%.
Durability
Constructed from steel, wood and polycarbonate, and assembled with screws, the Williwaw shines for its robustness and total repairability. Quiet and efficient, it promises a 10-year warranty on mechanical components and a 5-year warranty on electronics, offering excellent value for money in its category.

What a magnificent innovation from the ingenious Stéphane Thirouin, who has created his williwaw with both design and technology
A cool breeze in the silence and comfort of its remote-controlled mini thermostat, and with a concern for low energy consumption that we all hold dear. Finally, a child’s memory resurfaces of the well-thought-out, playful assembly of this work of art.

Jay Giulia (confirmed customer) – June 25, 2023

We suffered through the heatwave of summer 2022 and it was perfect to have the fan blowing its little breeze over our bed, without a sound.

The power consumption of 5 to 10W on the first gears is infinitely ridiculous compared with an air-conditioner, for equivalent or even superior comfort (no sensation of cold).

In the end, we use it mainly in winter to circulate the warm air in our living room, and it’s difficult to quantify the gains in heating costs, as everything depends on the thermostat setting. On the other hand, there are real gains in terms of comfort, with our feet feeling less cold.

As a bonus, we now use it between seasons and in winter to dry our clothes on the drying rack: after an evening+night of 12h of blowing at fairly low speed (say 10W) in front of the drying rack, the clothes are almost dry, no unpleasant smell of mildew and, above all, a consumption of 12*10=120Wh! Again, ridiculous compared to a tumble-dryer cycle which happily exceeds 1000Wh, even for the most economical (heat pump).

François Garcia (confirmed customer) – July 9, 2021

Perfect nights without the infernal noise of spinning blades, very low power consumption and great design. And the added bonus of being able to control it from your phone is really nice!

Laurenn (confirmed customer) – July 2, 2020

It’s the third one I’ve bought. We have one for each bedroom, and we no longer have to worry about the heatwave at night.
Not a sound and a breeze that feels good!
We would never have invested in an air-conditioner for ecological reasons, but this product convinced us. It’s an investment, but well worth it, especially as it also runs in winter in the living room with mezzanine, tempering the room. And he’s so handsome!

Carole LASSALLE (confirmed customer) – July 6, 2022

Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s just as efficient as an air-conditioner, much more environmentally friendly and, above all, consumes much less energy.

Quality has to be paid for. It’s time to encourage innovation by French designers!

According to UFC Que Choisir, some fans offer a “night” or “silence” option: this simply corresponds to the lowest speed and can reach a noise level of around 40-45 dB(A). Despite being the most powerful fan, the Williwaw night option is only 33 dB(A) and 47dB(A) at maximum speed.

Position the Williwaw fan strategically to optimize air circulation in the room.

For optimum comfort, ideally place it at some distance from walls to allow air to circulate freely.

In summer, orient it to create a direct flow of cool air towards living areas. For winter heat distribution, install it in destratification mode near a heat source to diffuse warm air accumulated on the ceiling.

Location may vary according to the season and the layout of your space.

Choosing the ideal fan involves considering several criteria, including power, noise level, and additional features such as timer or rotation.

But on the market (against Dyson, Rowenta and Honeywell), the Williwaw excels in discretion, aesthetics and power.

For efficient cooling, check the air flow rate and the ability to set different speeds. The price will reflect the technology, features and durability of the product.

Quiet fans are ideal for undisturbed working or sleeping, with models that can be adjusted for height or orientation, ensuring absolute comfort.

The fans that consume the least electricity are often low-power models that don’t allow you to move an interesting volume of air. Thanks to its 9 blades and energy-saving motor, the Williwaw is the fan that offers the best ratio between power and consumption. The average consumption of a low-power Williwaw is around 5 watts at minimum speed, well below that of standard models that can consume between 20 and 100 watts for the same volume of air moved!
An air cooler generally consumes more electricity than a simple fan, due to its built-in water evaporation system. There are several advantages to choosing a Williwaw over an air cooler. The Williwaw is designed to be extremely energy-efficient, consuming around 5 watts at minimum speed, which is considerably less than the consumption of an air cooler. This makes it a more ecological and economical choice for those looking to reduce their energy footprint and electricity costs. What’s more, the Williwaw offers a silent ventilation solution, capable of providing efficient air circulation without the noise nuisance associated with some air coolers. Its durable design and fully repairable capability also guarantee superior longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacement. The average power consumption of an air cooler varies according to model and size, but is generally between 60 and 200 watts. Although this is higher than Williwaw, air coolers still consume less energy than traditional air conditioners, offering a more environmentally-friendly alternative to more energy-intensive cooling systems.
Using a Williwaw compared to air conditioning in a 20 m² room with a height of 2.5 m, here are the savings:
  • Monthly cost of air conditioning: approx. €37.80.
  • Monthly cost of a Williwaw: approx. €1.01.
Electricity savings:
  • The air-conditioning consumes around 262.8 kWh per month, while the Williwaw consumes only around 1.008 kWh. This represents a saving of around 261.792 kWh per month.
CO2 emissions:
  • CO2 emissions for air conditioning are around 0.2133 kg CO2 for the month, while for Williwaw they are around 0.005688 kg CO2.
  • This translates into a reduction in CO2 emissions of 0.207612 kg CO2 per month by using a Williwaw instead of air conditioning.
These calculations show that Williwaw is significantly more economical and environmentally friendly than standard air conditioning, offering an efficient cooling solution with substantial savings in terms of cost and environmental impact.

To make the air cooler with a fan, place a container of ice water or ice packs in front of it. The air passing over the ice cools and helps lower the room temperature, increasing the cooling effect.
