Keep Your Cool at Home During Summer Heat Waves
Experts say pairing fans with air conditioning can raise the thermostat 3-4 degrees and still keep rooms comfortable.
- As American summers grow hotter, cooling your home efficiently requires strategic fan use. William Maclean, senior business unit director of Fans at Lasko, the number one Fan and Heater Brand in the United States, says proper placement helps drop room temperatures without touching the thermostat.
- Running a fan alongside your air conditioner lets you set the thermostat 3-4 degrees higher without feeling the difference, since moving air feels cooler on skin. Your comfort stays the same while your utility bill doesn't.
- Placing a fan low and angling it upward circulates the coolest air in the room. During the hottest part of the day, keep blinds closed and point a fan outward near a window to push hot air out.
- Match the fan to the room for optimal performance. Quiet, oscillating tower fans work for bedrooms, while high-velocity air movers handle garages, and the Lasko Pro Performance 9-Speed Pivoting DC Motor Utility Fan is built for demanding spaces.
- A quick clean at the start of the season keeps a fan performing like new, as dust buildup on blades cuts airflow noticeably. With the right fans for the right spaces, you can maintain steady airflow while you work, relax, and sleep.
