Ceiling fans do make a difference
Ceiling fans do make a difference
Recently, we moved into a new home. Everything in this home had been updated from the fridge, to the tile, washer and dryer, and HVAC system. The house had all of the things that I was looking for in my new home search. We hope to make this a forever home and not have to move anymore. There is plenty of room for guests and the kids, and our pets. One thing I overlooked when we toured this home was the ceiling fans, or the lack thereof. It took until we were living here for a week for me to realize that there wasn’t one ceiling fan in this house. Ceiling fans are a necessity to me. Yes, it’s true that ceiling fans don’t cool the air. But, ceiling fans circulate the cool air that comes from the air conditioning unit and overall keeps me cooler when I’m in the room. When I have a ceiling fan on, I can turn down the thermostat and set it at a higher temperature. This saves energy and I can remain cooler at a higher temperature. Especially on those days when I can turn off the HVAC system all together and open the windows and switch on the ceiling fans. Those days when it’s in the 70s outside are the best because I know I’m saving money by turning my HVAC system off. Tomorrow, first thing, I am going to the home improvement store and buying ceiling fans for the family room, bedrooms, and my home office. I will not sacrifice my comfort and go without the cool breeze of circulated air that ceiling fans give me.
