Money Saving Tip for Kokomo Winters
ByLike it or not, winter is just around the corner. And if you’re like me, you want to save as much money as you can on heating your home. If you have ceiling fans, this tip is for you…
Reverse the direction the fan blades rotate!
During colder months in Kokomo, the blades of a ceiling fan should be set to rotate clockwise. That pushes warm air mear the ceiling to recirculate downward into the “living space.” When the blades are going in the right direction the room can feel warmer by 8-10 degrees. That means you can turn your thermostat down by several degrees.
Sounds simple enough doesn’t it? But if you’re like me, you may not know whether the blades are going in the right direction or wrong direction right now. And trying to decide whether the blades are going clockwise or counter-clockwise makes me dizzy.
To the rescue! This short video shows you how to change the direction the blades are rotating. Even more important (at least to me) is a test using an ordinary tissue to see if you’ve done it properly.
Isn’t that a great tip and a simple way to keep your Kokomo home warmer this winter.
