We\u2019re always happy to answer any questions you may have, and provide advice that can help you save money, stay safe, and feel more comfortable in your household. One way we like to do that is by helping you understand how to most efficiently use your air conditioner. And one method of doing so is by utilizing a ceiling fan!<\/p>\n

Does a Ceiling Fan Effectively Cool My Home?<\/h2>\n

Yes and no. A ceiling fan will not lower the temperature <\/em>of your home, and you can\u2019t expect it to. However, the way the components in a ceiling fan work to move air, it can help you feel <\/em>cooler, especially when coupled with your air conditioning system.<\/p>\n

Your air conditioner has a lot going for it\u2014refrigerant to transfer heat from the inside air to outdoors, an indoor coil to help absorb heat and cool down, and a compressor to add pressure to the refrigerant. A ceiling fan is a lot less complex, and can\u2019t be expected to keep you comfortable all on its own during the hot summer months. But, let\u2019s take a look at how it helps your AC out!<\/p>\n

Ceiling Fans Help Lower Your Cooling Bills!<\/h2>\n

As we stated above, a fan alone cannot cool your home. But it could <\/em>help you save money on air conditioning by doing a better job of evenly distributing all the air your cooling system produces. A stagnant vent on a wall alone may not move air through your living space as effectively as you\u2019d like, so ceiling fans can be pretty helpful.<\/p>\n

Ceiling fans help to push cool air down and circulate it through the room in which they\u2019re installed. This cools your rooms faster, which means your AC system can shut off sooner and\/or you won\u2019t have to set your thermostat as low\u2014reducing your monthly bills.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve likely noticed that you feel cooler standing below or in front of a fan. It\u2019s not because it\u2019s cooling the air but rather because fans help sweat to evaporate from our bodies with ease. This can decrease your dependency on your air conditioning system and require less use, and thus more energy and cost savings.<\/p>\n

Ceiling Fans Have Heating Benefits, Too!<\/h2>\n

Since we are well on our way to consistent summer temperatures, you probably aren\u2019t thinking too much about your heater, but this will help you when winter rolls back around\u2014the same way ceiling fans help with your AC efficiency, they can help with your heating efficiency too.<\/p>\n

Although, be sure to find the switch near the center of your fan\u2014this reverses the direction of the fan blades so that it pushes the warm air down and more evenly distributes the heat, so that your heater doesn\u2019t have to work as hard to do its job.<\/p>\n
