It may be enticing to turn up the AC to full blast to cool your home. This may keep you comfortably chilled, yet your monthly utility bills will be sky high. Your most cost-effective, energy efficient, and fresh air circulation solution is to run your air conditioning unit at the same time as your fans.<\/p>\n

AC + Fans = Cool<\/h2>\n

When you use your air conditioner and fans at the same time, whether ceiling fans or portable fans, you\u2019ll achieve a comfy home and be energy-wise. Your AC provides cooling and reduces indoor humidity while the fans create a nice breeze, increasing your comfort.<\/p>\n

Running fans helps reduce the \u201cfeels-like temperature\u201d by about four degrees Fahrenheit. The draft created by fans helps your body\u2019s cooling system work more efficiently. Fans move hot air away from your skin, and this causes natural evaporative cooling\u2014 saving you money and helping you feel cooler!<\/p>\n

Ceiling fans and portable fans circulate AC air in your home. Cold air naturally sinks closer to the floor. Your home\u2019s air conditioning vents push out cool air, but this air sits at floor level and doesn\u2019t tend to circulate. Using a fan helps to push this air upwards pushing out hot air. Fans create air circulation moving air throughout your home, lowering room temperatures, and decreasing energy bills.<\/p>\n
