How to Stay Cool in Virginia Beach
It’s hot outside, and with the humidity, it feels even hotter. You run inside to escape the heat and collapse on the closest couch or bed. Now you wait for the air conditioner to cool your skin. Sound familiar?
Today’s air conditioning systems are designed to keep up with the demand for cooler air, and there is a way to help that process with a ceiling fan. Ceiling fans help circulate the cool air from your air conditioning unit while reducing cooling costs. A ceiling fan typically uses about the same electricity as a 100-watt light bulb, costing you only pennies a day.
It’s important to know which way the ceiling fan should turn to get that cool air circulating. In the hot summer months, your ceiling fan should rotate in a counter-clockwise direction. This rotation creates a cool downward airflow. When choosing a ceiling fan, make sure it has the option to reverse the blade rotation.
Your air conditioning unit, combined with a ceiling fan, can create cool, even temperatures throughout your home. That way you keep the heat outside where it belongs!
Remember, when you run inside to escape the heat, it should be nice and cool inside. It shouldn’t be warm and muggy. That’s a sign that your air conditioning system needs to be serviced or replaced. A ceiling fan doesn’t create the cold air. It simply moves the air around, and you don’t want that air to be warm. Stay cool this summer and pump up your air flow with a ceiling fan!
