Using ceil- ing fans can help lower your cooling bills. In the summer, moving air gives a "wind chill" effect. This means you can set the thermostat at a higher temperature yet still have a cool feeling. You can set the thermostat at 80 degrees with a fan running, and it will feel like 72 degrees in the room. The direction your ceiling fan should spin depends on the type of fan you have and at which angle the fan blades have been set by the manufacturer (or you, if you altered them). First, look for a switch marked "forward" and "reverse." If the blades are angled properly, you want the fan to spin forward during the summer and in reverse in the winter. Set on forward, the fan blows air downward, directly on you. Is that clockwise or counter- clockwise? It depends on your spe- cific fan and the way the blades are set. If you are all mixed up, simply set the fan to high and stand under it. Do you feel the air blowing down on you? Then that is your "forward" direction. Make a note. • Whole-house fan. Installed in the attic, a whole-house fan will help cool your home by pushing cool air through the house and exhausting warm air through the attic. This type of fan is most effective when operated at night when outside air is cool- er than inside air. See http://www.Whole- HouseFan.com for details on how they work. These units range from $200 to $600, plus installation. However, they don't generate the same kind of high ener- gy bills that a typical air conditioner does. sary. • Move air. Use an interior fan placed near your window air condi- tioner to spread the cooled air more effectively without greatly increas- ing your power use. • Block. Install drapes, shades, blinds or other window coverings. Keep- ing them closed during the day blocks the sun and the heat from the sun's rays. Mary Hunt • Thermostat. Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer, but not below 78 F. Each degree setting below 78 F will increase energy consumption by approximately 8 percent. Everyday Cheapskate • Heat producers. Don't place lamps or TV sets near your air con- ditioning thermostat. The thermo- stat senses heat from these appli- ances, which can cause the air con- ditioner to run longer than neces- • Bath time. Use bath- room and kitchen fans spar- ingly when the air condi- tioner is operating to avoid pulling warm, moist air into your home or allowing cooled air to escape. In just a few minutes, a kitchen or bath exhaust fan can empty an entire house of its cooled air.
