I use fans to circulate the air in my house during summer. Is this using less energy than if I was just running the air conditioner?
Last Updated: January 11, 2010
Fans help people feel cooler, so using fans in occupied rooms can keep people comfortable when the thermostat is set higher. Raising the thermostat temperature and using a fan in an occupied room will save energy and money on cooling costs. Be sure to turn off the fan when leaving a room.
