Air Temp Solutions

Good morning,

We’d like to share some tips on staying cool in the summer and saving on your cooling costs...

1. Use a ceiling fan or other circulating fan. It can make you feel 6 or 7 degrees cooler via the wind-chill effect: A fan doesn’t cool a room, it just makes it more comfortable to be in. “Just remember to turn off the fan when no one’s enjoying it. Otherwise, you waste electricity,” says Ronnie Kweller, spokesperson for the nonprofit Alliance to Save Energy, which promotes worldwide energy-conservation initiatives. If you also use an air conditioner, a ceiling fan helps disperse cooled air more efficiently and allows you to raise its thermostat by as much as 4 degrees, with little or no discomfort.
