Using the fan is a great idea because not only will it save me money on my energy bill, but it will also give my HVAC unit a break from working so hard
Ever since my sister Sarah told me how she had been saving money on her energy bill by installing a ceiling fan, I had been thinking about getting a fan of my own for my bedroom. Well, she decided to get me one for Christmas after I mentioned it to her. Earlier this year, my brother James installed the fan for me, but I hadn’t used it because it was still very much Winter. But a few weeks ago, I finally used the fan after the weather warmed up outside. Sarah explained that in order to see the most savings without sacrificing comfort, I should use the fan with my HVAC unit. She suggested that I increase the temperature on my thermostat and use the fan as a way to circulate the cold air throughout the room. On the very first night, I did what she suggested and was completely impressed with the results. I honestly thought that I would be hot since I increased my thermostat to 76 degrees and then used the fan all night. When I woke up the next day, I realized that I slept like a baby and didn’t toss my blanket off. Typically, I would sleep with my thermostat set to 72, which was my ideal sleeping temperature. But with the ceiling fan, I can now make the adjustments going forward. Using the fan is a great idea because not only will it save me money on my energy bill, but it will also give my HVAC unit a break from working so hard. Plus, it could also extend the life of my HVAC unit because it will have less wear and tear. If you don’t have a ceiling fan in your home, I recommend that you install one.
