More and more people are using air conditioning these days.
There is a misconception that ceiling fans should be turned off while using air conditioning.
The summer season is just around the corner. People have already started using fans. Some even use air conditioning to combat the scorching heat. As everything is easily accessible nowadays, people are using air conditioners more and more. Most urban households now have air conditioning and can use it in one go. Many people use air conditioning and ceiling fans together. There is a misconception that ceiling fans should be turned off while using the air conditioner. People believe that using fans and air conditioners together will waste all the cold air outside the room. Today, let's break this misconception.
When we feel hot, anyone's first reaction is to turn on the air conditioning. A ceiling fan used in conjunction with air conditioning can make the room feel comfortable faster and also help reduce your overall electricity bill. Let's explain how. The normal human body temperature is around 37 degrees Celsius. During summers, when the temperature of the environment increases, the body cools down, either by sweating or by releasing water through evaporation into the environment. But this only works when humidity levels are low. As soon as the humidity increases, sweating does not work, making us feel uncomfortable and sick. This is because the air already has enough moisture and is slow or unable to absorb more water than our body releases. Here fans can help. Although a fan does not cool the environment, the airflow it pushes can help remove hot air from the skin and promote sweat evaporation, making the body feel comfortable.
Similarly, using a fan in conjunction with the air conditioner will help remove hot air from the room and can cool the environment quickly thanks to the air from the air conditioner. The only trick is to set the air conditioning temperature to 26 degrees Celsius. This will provide the same cooling effect as an air conditioner, which is set at 22 degrees Celsius, without the interference of a fan.
Apart from that, using fans with air conditioning can also save 12 to 20 percent on electricity bills.
