In Kitchener-Waterloo’s changeable climate, there are several ways to conserve energy use and reduce cooling costs. One of the easiest methods is to use fans as greener surrogates or complements for air conditioners. With the right style of fan and cooperative outdoor temperature, you can greatly reduce using an air conditioner while remaining comfortable.
Whole-house fans commonly reduce inside temperatures by 2C to 5C (4F to 9F). These fans are a practical way of cooling the total house. They are far less expensive to run than an air conditioner. Whole-house fans need to be properly located so that air circulates from throughout the house.
Ceiling-mounted paddle fans generate air motion across surfaces that increases the rate of evaporation. A modest breeze can add to your comfort range significantly. It will save energy by allowing you to adjust your air conditioner’s thermostat up a notch. In some cases it can even eliminate the need for air-conditioning completely.
Window fans are most effective in Kitchener-Waterloo when seasonal changes bring hotter days and cooler nights. The home can be cooled with exterior air from window fans once the sun sets. Once the sun starts heating the air, the window fans are turned off. This method uses electricity during off-peak hours.
Nearly everybody can be a fan of making both the earth and your wallet a little greener.
