Since ceiling fans are much more simple than air conditioners, they require a lot less energy to run, meaning they cost a lot less. During the spring and early fall when the weather is still fairly warm, you can use your ceiling fans instead of using your air conditioner. The key is that you use your ceiling fan properly according to the season. During the summer, run the fan counterclockwise. This will blow air down on top of you, creating a gentle breeze that will not change the temperature in your home, but will make your home FEEL cooler. During the winter, run the fan clockwise. Since hot air rises above cool air, most of the warm air from your furnace will collect at the top of the ceiling in layers. Running the fan clockwise will blow the air up, swirling the layers around and making the lower parts of the rooms feel warmer.
