Nope. Most room fans are 75W or less, that isn’t much power and the heat generated from a fan is negligible compared to the cooling effect of moving air.
Are you a bot?

No? Why would I be a bot?
75W is a lot of heat to be pumping out all the time. In a closed room that can heat it up a lot. Especially in modern German homes with their excellent isolation and triple glazing.
And larger fans can easily go up around 100W or more. Sure it isn’t a lot compared to a 3000W space heater. But it isn’t exactly nothing either. And given it would be running for a long time, that energy adds up.

75W is not a lot of heat. The average human produces about 100W at rest. So you’re essentially claiming:
“Putting one person in a room, at rest, will heat it up a lot.”

Except it doesn’t because heat transfers out of a room over time, even through walls and triple glazed windows.
Time to give your receipts, bot.

Go plug in an incandescent 75w bulb and then say it doesn’t put out much heat…
