Ceiling fans are a great way to boost your home comfort levels. Even when your air conditioner is doing a great job of tackling the summer heat and humidity, lying under a ceiling fan and feeling the breeze adds another layer of comfort.
Ceiling fans are also cost-effective for regulating your home’s indoor temperature. However, what many homeowners don’t know is that your ceiling fan’s efficacy is dependent on which direction the fan blades rotate. In fact, many people aren’t even aware that their ceiling fans can rotate in two directions: clockwise or counterclockwise.
Let’s go over the importance of proper ceiling fan direction in summer in Bethel Park and how to set your home’s ceiling fans during the summer.
Here’s the thing about homes today—if yours was built in the last decade or so, it was constructed tightly. What does that mean? Well, it means that everything is tightly sealed to allow no air from going out and no outside air from sneaking in. This is great news for your HVAC systems, as it allows them to work as efficiently as possible. This isn’t, however, fool-proof
At the beginning of spring, Pittsburgh residents can expect chilly weather well into March and April. Soon, though, you’ll be perfectly comfortable sitting in your home even without hearing the heater running. This is what’s called the “shoulder season” when you work in the HVAC industry, an off-period when the rush of repair and installation calls come to a stop.
It’s time to take control over your monthly spending. You’ll find a lot of advice out there on the internet about how to reduce your bills and cut out unnecessary spending—cancelling unused subscriptions and memberships, for one—but unless you reassess the amount of energy used in your home, bills will remain high. This is especially true as we move into another hot and humid spring and summer, so it’s time to take action.
It’s been a cold one this year, and you might not have felt the relief you wanted from your home comfort system. It could be that you have noticed hot or cold spots around the home or never felt quite warm enough at all. And that may be something you thought you’d have to put up with for a long time to come.
