Knowing that I am a tightwad, that I want the most for the money;
What fans do you employ- or plan to; what works and to what extent. What to avoid.
I never liked ceiling fans. I thought they were ugly, and afraid they would fall. [every so often CRASH - a shelf I install collapses...lol]
3 rooms had a ceiling fan when I bought my house. I love them. The 9 other rooms, at least 2 should have them.
Central air is $4000.00 to install. I would not use it since I cut down on electric use. I can run 6 fans for 1 AC. I have a small window unit. They are lighter, quieter; $100 these days. I did reconfigure the new window- [1st floor pine room] so the unit is near the top, not at waiste level.
-oh- awnings can be good- tho most are ugly. they cost an arm and a leg!!!
as a kid we had a whole house fan, it was loud but worked. in 10 minutes it expelled the hot air- bringing in cooler air.
Show me what works - anything that helps keep the house cool.
Thanks!!! :-)
