Reducing Power Usage

Can a fan really reduce the power usage in your home? Absolutely. The money saved in electrical bills over the year quickly pays for the fan purchase and installation. Using ceiling fans throughout your home helps moderate the temperature within each room. Circulating the cool air that’s already been produced by the air conditioner means moderate temperatures for longer periods of time, which reduces the number of hours your air conditioner is running. Use of fans can make a room feel up to 6 degrees cooler than it actually is, which means the thermostat can be set higher.

How Do Ceiling Fans Circulate Air Within a Room?

The blades of a ceiling fan are angled and curved to create airflow when rotated. Changing the direction of blade rotation can actually impact power bills all year-round. This change in direction changes the direction of airflow, either upwards or downwards. Fans run counterclockwise in the summer, keeping cooler air pushed towards the bottom of the room; fans run clockwise in the winter and redistribute the warm are that’s risen to the top of the room back towards the ground. Its a good idea to check the direction of fan rotation to make sure that you aren’t actually making your house warmer this summer!

Energy Efficient Fans

Many modern appliances have been designed to be energy efficient and the ceiling fan is one of them. According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy-Star website
