Air circulator powered by an electronically commuted motor (ecm) and associated method of use

A method for utilizing an air circulator comprising:

• utilizing an electronically commuted motor, that is devoid of a transformer, the motor having a rotor with a rotatable blade assembly having at least one blade, wherein the blade assembly is operatively connected to the rotor of the electronically commuted motor such that the blade assembly rotates with the rotor;
• and
• operating a switch secured to a housing and electrically connected to the electronically commuted motor and an input for line voltage, wherein the housing is operatively connected to the electronically commuted motor and includes an input for line voltage and the switch that is secured to the housing and electrically connected to a signal voltage input of the electronically commuted motor and the line voltage input.
