Well, in the summertime, ceiling fans are very important. A ceiling fan, running a ceiling fan in your home while you're in the room can actually allow you to raise your temperature on your thermostat slightly and still feel comfortable in the room. And there you can do this because a ceiling fan, what it actually does is it creates a wind chill effect and it makes you sitting in the room feel cooler.
Right. It's very similar to, you know, a 70-degree day here in the sun. It's a little warm. You get in the shade, you get a little 15-20 mph breeze, feels a little different, right?
