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.
