Here's something that might cool your enthusiasm for A/C. Fans can use 98% less energy than A/C, and considering that A/C units are one of the single largest energy users in a home, that makes for a pretty staggering difference. Save money and energy by opening your mind to fans - and your windows to the outdoors - during the summer. While A/C uses energy to relocate hot air outdoors, fans work by circulating warm and cool air in a room. Use ceiling, window and/or portable fans to stay comfortable during the next hot spell. Then compare your subsequent electric bill to previous warm months. Chances are, the savings will make you feel even cooler. Join the fan club today.
