It is no secret that ceiling fans are a secret weapon in the battle against high A/C bills. Because of the way ceiling fans transfer air, they generate a wind-chill effect, which creates the impression that the air around you is much cooler than it absolutely is. Consequently, you can set your temperature control to a boiling setting and still think the air being cooled even if it is set to a warmer setting. In buildings with properly installed ceiling fans, tenants have the chance of turning their temperature controls up by about severaldegrees warmer than the normal setting without sacrificing the comfort of the building. Air conditioners run less frequently when their settings are closer to outdoor temperatures. Reducing energy consumption saves money. In order to achieve energy savings, ceiling fans must be installed and used properly. Here are a few tips on using fans to keep your building tenants as cool as possible while reducing their yearly bills. When a fan spins counterclockwise, it pushes air downward, which creates a wind chill and makes the room think cooler. To determine how to set the direction of the motor, you should refer to the directions offered by the manufacturer. There are several ways in which ceiling fans help increase energy efficiency, however most of them are aimed at making people think cooler, not at cooling the air in the room itself. It is true that energy-efficient fans do not need a lot of electricity to run, however leaving a ceiling fan on when nobody is in the room is a waste of electricity.
