Chantilly and Northern Virginia home owners have come to expect the hot summers. When May rolls around we start moving into air conditioner weather.
We are all conscious of energy costs these days, not to mention energy conservation. And one easy way to help with both is to take advantage of something that you may have taken for granted: your ceiling fan.
This short Weather Channel video demonstrates how that simple fan can cool down a room by as much as 6 degrees, while it brings your energy costs down as well.
The thing you may have over-looked is making sure the fan blades on your unit are moving the air in the right direction.
- HEAT, blades should rotate CLOCKWISE
- COOL, blades should rotate COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
It is easy, energy saving, money saving, and makes your life more comfortable. That’s a winning combination.
