Keeping cool

In our attempts to keep our electric bill as low as possible, we have been thinking about installing ceiling fans throughout the house.  I’d like to have one in every room except for the bathrooms.  Keeping the air circulating will allow us to raise the temperature on the thermostat but still be comfortable.  And of course, using less electricity helps the environment!  It might also help my wife’s dry skin problem I mentioned in my previous post – less air conditioning will lessen the dryness of the air.

Last month I installed two Hunter ceiling fans in our living room.  I chose them because they have the reputation of being quiet, and I don’t want to have to turn up the television any higher to hear it over the noise of anything mechanical! 

I’d also like to install a couple of outdoor Minka aire fans on our porch. Having the air moving out there while we are sitting outside would make the porch a much more pleasant spot to sit and socialize.  Especially for my wife, who loves to sit outside and look at the flower bed and watch the dogs playing with each other.
