Luckily, I’m a few steps ahead of Brandon on this one. I just installed a new ceiling fan in the bedroom, and I have another one that’s going up in the guest bedroom.
99% of the energy wasted with a ceiling fan is that people forget to change the direction of the blades be it cooling or heating season.
NOTE:
“A ceiling fan should rotate COUNTERCLOCKWISE in the SUMMER, so the blades push cooler air down in a column. This is the best ceiling fan direction for air conditioning since it makes the air feel cooler than it is. It allows you to turn your thermostat up a few degrees.
Ceiling fan direction in the WINTER should be CLOCKWISE, and the fan should run at the lowest speed. This pulls cool air up toward the ceiling, which in turn displaces the warm air that rises and collects near the ceiling.”
It ain’t Rocket Science! Maybe Brandon’s ‘Committee of Dumb@sses’ could take a trip to the Home Depot to learn a thing or two? *SNORT*
