Ceiling fans and beating the summer heat
A ceiling fan moves air so a room feels cooler, which lets you ease off the air conditioner. Used right, fans keep you comfortable and cut cooling costs.
How a fan helps
A fan does not lower the temperature. It moves air across your skin so you feel cooler, which means you can set the thermostat a little higher and stay comfortable.
Run it the right way
In summer the blades should spin so you feel a breeze right below the fan. Turn fans off when you leave the room, since they cool people, not empty space.
Comfort all year
Many fans reverse for winter to push warm air down off the ceiling. We install and wire fans for any room, including high and vaulted ceilings.
Quick tips from our crew
- A fan lets you raise the thermostat a few degrees and still feel cool.
- Blades should push air down in summer for a breeze you can feel.
- Turn fans off in empty rooms. They cool people, not the air.
