Switch Your Fan Direction for Summer!
Ceiling fans are incredibly useful home cooling devices in the summer, but many homeowners and residents aren’t getting the best performance out of them. Here is some essential advice from our HVAC system specialists in New Jersey.
Using Your Ceiling Fan in the Summer
So, why do people love using these fans in the summer?
- The wind they produce creates a chill effect on your skin, cooling you and making a room feel up to 8 degrees lower.
- They are a great energy saver, saving up to 40% of air conditioning costs.
- They reduce the strain on central air conditioners and window air conditioning units.
- Outdoor fans let you stay outside for longer in greater comfort, cooling the air and keeping insects away
How to Set Up Your Fan for Summer
Ceiling fans don’t just move air across your space, they move it in a vertical direction too. In summer, your fan should rotate in a counterclockwise direction, which pushes cool air down towards the floor. As a result, you don’t have to set your thermostat so low, and you can keep your home cooler without overworking your air conditioner or increasing your energy bills excessively.
In winter, simply reverse the direction of the blades so that they rotate in a clockwise direction to make your space warmer. By pulling cool air upwards in winter, ceiling fans pushes naturally rising warmer air down along the walls back to ground level, which makes your space feel warmer and saves on heating costs.
