If you’ve purchased an appliance for your home or business in the last few years, you’ve probably seen blue labels on certain products declaring them as “ENERGY STAR” rated.
Have you ever wondered what that means, exactly?
The phrase is more common these days among lighting manufacturers, but what do ENERGY STAR rated products have that other appliances or standard products don’t?
According to energystar.gov, “To earn the ENERGY STAR, products must meet strict energy efficiency criteria set by the US Environmental Protection Agency or the US Department of Energy. Since they use less energy, these products save you money on your electricity bill and help protect the environment by causing fewer harmful emissions from power plants.”
Tips for Using Energy Star Ceiling Fans Efficiently
Once you’ve chosen the right fan for your space, use these tips to get the most out of your energy star technology:
- Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If no one’s in the room, turn off the ceiling fan! It’s a myth that the room will be cooler with a fan on.
- Adjust your thermostat when you’re using a ceiling fan – additional savings could be realized with this simple step! Additionally, make sure you utilize your ceiling fan in the winter too. It will circulate warm air throughout your home.
- If you have a ceiling fan light combination unit, use an ENERGY STAR certified light bulb to see even more dollar savings!
