I have heard that the regular (non-electronic) fan-speed regulators commonly used in homes just get heated up and do not save electricity.Thus,even if you run the fan on lowest speed,the electricity used is the same as when running it at top speed.

Yes, electronic fan-speed regulators really do save electricity.
Put simply, they switch the supply on an off very rapidly. By varying the relative times of the "on" and the "off" periods a motor's speed (or a light's brilliance) may be controlled.
The comments about the simpler types, though, are generally correct.

What the fan regulator does is that it modulates the flexibility to the fan by using resistance, so once you activate a fan and not using a regulator (digital or otherwise) the fan will rotate at finished velocity and consume potential as rated by using the producer, yet once you decrease the value by using the help of a regulator the flexibility ate up by using the fan would be much less as interior the watts ate up. The regulator honestly controls the quantity of electrical energy going to the fan.

Electronic ones called dimmers really save electricity,I agree to this statement.
Commonly used regulators which get heated do not save electricity,I feel that is correct.

No electric energy transformed to heat energy

no on the contrary they consume more electricity as the regulator itself requires some electricity for its working!

Thats right, they just slow down or speed up a fan thats all
