energy saving

It’s blazing hot outside and if you are like me, your electric bill is at it’s highest around this time.  I have central air with the programmable thermostat and all that, but I still don’t have one of the best things around for cooling the house on the cheap.  Ceiling fans.

A ceiling fan set on low uses about as much energy as a 100 watt light bulb.  Not only that, it can make the room it’s in feel up to 4 degrees cooler!  This is such a no-brainer that I’m having trouble figuring out why I continue to live in a ceiling-fan-free house. 

I’m planning to install one in my bedroom as well as the kitchen, as soon as I can find somebody to do the installing.  I can’t wait to see how much money it saves me.

Do you have newly installed ceiling fans?  Did you realize a savings on your energy bill when you installed them?
