Ceiling fans can bring numerous energy saving benefits to the home. Most ceiling fans use only about as much power as a 100 watt light bulb. When used properly, ceiling fans can save you money in utility bills in both the winter and summer months.

The following are some suggestions regarding how to reap maximum energy saving benefits from your ceiling fan:

Benefits of Ceiling Fans in Winter Months.

Remember: Warm air is lighter than cool air. In any given room there are layers of air with varying degrees of temperature, the warmest air near the ceiling. In the winter months, you should run your ceiling fan in a clockwise direction. This pushes warm air up against the ceiling and then down the walls, gently recirculation warm air through the room without causing a chilling breeze. This technique has been proven to lower home or office heating costs by as much as 10% by offsetting the HVAC work load.

Benefits of Ceiling Fans in Summer Months.

In the summer months, your ceiling fan offers the greatest energy saving benefits when run in a counter-clockwise direction. While a ceiling fan does not necessarily lower the temperature, it does make the room feel cooler by providing a circulatory breeze. If the outside temperature is not too high, you might be able to achieve a comfortable environment by turning off the HVAC altogether, by opening a few windows and allowing the ceiling fan to circulate warm air outdoors. Effective circulation can make you feel up to 8 degrees cooler, and reduce air conditioning bills by up to 40%.
