Ceiling fans reduce furnace costs
Last January, I climbed up on a ladder in the bedroom to update a bulb in the overhead light fixture, but i immediately began to sweat; The difference in temperature from floor level to up near the ceiling was significant.
- This proved that the moderate air from the heating system was rising straight up to the ceiling plus only falling back down once it cooled off, but because of this, higher thermostat settings were necessary.
The heating system was forced to run longer plus more often, resulting in greater energy consumption, accelerated wear plus tear plus higher energy bills. I was not glad about the idea of paying severely high-priced energy bills in order to heat the ceiling. I needed to figure out a way to push the heat down toward the floor! With a little research, I came across ceiling fans. They are available in a wide variety of sizes, styles plus prices. There are severely modern ceiling fans with premium fan motors plus higher blade pitch that can transport a good deal of air effectively. There are some absolutely charming options, plus my partner plus I were able to handle DIY upgrade. I invested into ceiling fans for all the main living spaces, including our home offices, however my associate and I set the ceiling fan to spin counterclockwise during Summer to create a cooling effect. My associate and I reverse the direction in the winter months plus run the fan on a slower speed to distribute heat more effectively throughout the room. I’ve seen nearly a fifteen percent reduction on our monthly heating costs plus the loft feels more comfortable.
