509. Don’t forget this one thing

One of the things I think is very underrated in homes and virtually everyone has them, is the ceiling fan. I think the ceiling fan is one of those kind of looked over items in the home that can really help you actually in heating and cooling. But today we're going to talk about cooling. So in cooling, you want to use your ceiling fan in a counterclockwise motion. Counterclockwise is going to create that wind chill effect. So to kind of give you an example of the wind chill effect, if you were to go outside and it's, you know, sunshine and no clouds, 70 degrees and you were to go sit outside in the sun at 70 degrees, okay, you would probably get a little bit warm right? Now imagine sitting in that sun at 70 and maybe a five mile an hour breeze, little breeze going. It feels pretty good, right? Feels a lot better than no breeze, right? Now imagine sitting in the shade on that 70 degree day and that same breeze is blowing. It's probably gonna be a little bit cool and it's gonna definitely be a lot cooler than the first or the second example. That is the wind chill effect. That is what you want to create in your home when you're in the room. Obviously you still want to use cooling, you still want to have cooling, but you want to also create that wind chill effect because you don't have to quite your thermostat as low as you may think. But if you're in a room with a fan on, that's going to be a lot cooler than if you're sitting in a room with no fan. So use the fan to your benefit. Most folks have ceiling fans in place in rooms. It's something you can, you know, pick up at any big box store and you know, taken care of. But it's worth the investment is uses, you know, little energy compared to turn your thermostat way down by but don't, don't discount or don't, don't avoid the ceiling fan.
