How to Get the Most Out of Your Ceiling Fan

While ceiling fans are a great way to stay cool during a heatwave, they are most effective when used in conjunction with other heat-reduction strategies. Here are some additional tips:

• Close blinds and curtains: Block direct sunlight from heating up your interior.
• Take advantage of cooler nights: Open windows at night to air out your home.
• Limit heat-producing activities: Cooking, using ovens, and running electronics all add heat to your home.

Keep Your Outdoor Living Spaces Cool

Wet rated or wet listed ceiling fans are perfect for patios or other outdoor living areas where water can be present around the fan. You can even match them to your décor with finishes like brushed pewter, matte black, oil rubbed bronze, and white. The best outdoor fan for your application is one with a weather-resistant build and desired airflow for the location you need it.

How Ceiling Fans Can Be Your Summer Savior

As summer heats up, so can your home. Extreme heatwaves can make staying indoors miserable, but before you crank the AC up high, consider the power of your ceiling fan.

Ceiling fans are lifesavers in hot weather, but they don't actually lower the air temperature. Instead, they create a wind chill effect. By circulating air across your skin, they make you feel cooler, allowing you to raise your thermostat a few degrees and save on energy costs.

Here's how to maximize your ceiling fan's cooling power during a heatwave:

• Rotate Counterclockwise: Most ceiling fans have a switch to control the direction of the blades. In summer, set them to rotate counterclockwise. This creates a downdraft that pushes cool air down towards you.
• Strategic Placement: Ceiling fans are most effective in occupied areas. When installing or positioning a fan, consider the room layout and where people spend the most time.
