We’re having a heatwave in the UK at the moment – just watch the weather at Wimbledon at the moment! However, our heatwave means reaching temperatures of around 30C, so I expect that’s nothing compared to what you’ll get in Texas!

I am in agreement that it is more economical to use the fan. What I would also advice that in the days when leaving persons can open the windows so that breeze can enter the house. Now that children are at home they can close the windows when dusk starts.

Great article. I just hope by reading this some of the readers will reflect on this and try to save energy as well. I have an air conditioning but I tend not to use it because I can live with a simple fan, not unless I really want a good night rest and Need to relieve stress.

Cool tips, i think the usage of fans should increase rapidly in this age of global warming. People should be sensitized how the usage of ACs vitiate the environment even though we might be cozier for short time. This recession period is the apt period to have this revulsion.

Yes indeed, Fans are more electricity saver than conditioners, but they do not provide the necessary coldness.

You’re absolutely right about using fans. Letting your ACs run all day leads to a drain on resources and it puts a strain on your pocketbook, too! I’m a huge proponent of green technology and believe it’s our insurance for the future and saving our resources but in the meantime people can make small changes that make a difference – like turning off electric appliances when you’re not around or not using them. Simple but it works.

Also a Texan, so I'm living the heat wave with you! Wet a small towel and drape it over the back of your neck, and the fan will feel that much better. saving-money’s last blog post..Budget Summer Barbecue

it is good to use fan rather than Ac, in this way it would be saving of money and global warming is also in consideration.

This is a great tip! I live in a north-facing apartment in Seattle, so frankly using air conditioning is a pretty rare necessity. But when it's hot, it's hot. During those 3 weeks a year I tend to keep the shades closed and put a bowl of ice in front of the fan. That extra touch tends to cool things off in a hurry - well, that and a nice cold beer!

For me this one of those I am willing to pay a little more for. I can not bear the heat and must have the ac on. nobrainerdeals’s last blog post..LG Bluray Disc Burner and HD DVDROM Drive GGWH20L for $143.99

Yes.. energy costs really suck. Those living in California are lucky… seeing as its always in the 70s and their energy costs are not too high either direction. I think it’s a good idea to use a fan. Actually it’s a good idea to buy a window fan. During the nighttime they can really cool the room. You can then turn off the air conditioner fully during the night, The in the day you can use the air conditioner/fan combo.

When it gets really hot fans just don’t put out the kinda cool air like ac’s can put out. Fans are cool for lower 80′s temps but when you reach the 90′s fans don’t work well.

I sometimes use them 50/50 to save a few bucks on the bill.

Right On! I use fans in my house as well. I keep the thermostat at 78 and I am fine. when I leave during the day I turn the fans on low and turn the temp to 80 and that is only to keep the humidity down. I live in Florida and it can be difficult!

Great tip! You do have to watch out with some fans, especially the high velocity ones. They are absolute energy hogs, consuming 150 watts or more. Yes this is less than a 600 watt window air conditioner, but the real danger is using both. Best bet is to use a ceiling fan to circulate cooled air, set on low to medium (only uses about 20-30 watts of power) , draw the shades or curtains to reduce solar heating, and turn up the thermostat on the A/C a little.
