At Wentzel’s Heating and Air Conditioning in Sarasota, Florida, we are pleased to bring you tips to help you save energy.
Did You Know?
Ceiling fans don’t cool rooms. They cool people. So running a ceiling fan in an empty room is a waste of energy. As a fan circulates air inside a room, you feel the breeze across your skin, and this makes you feel cooler. However, the temperature of the room hasn’t changed at all.
Energy Tip: Turn off your ceiling fan when you leave the room since no one is there to feel the benefit of the fan.
Note: Attic fans work differently. If set-up property, they can increase energy efficiency by drawing cooler air into your home and blowing out the hot air trapped in the attic. Attic fans are effective only when the outside air is cooler than the inside air.
