They can be as effective as an air conditioner in mak- ing you comfortable. Studies have shown, for example, that the cooling effect of a.ceiling fan allows the thermostat on an air conditioner to be set as high as 80 degrees with no adverse effect on room Keeping your cool isn't ail that difficult, even in warm climates; nor is sav- ing energy if you use it wisely. Nichols-Kusan, Imc., manufacturer of Old Jacksonville ceiling fans, offers the following warmf- weather energy-conserva- tion tips: cornfort. Nichols-Kusan points out that although the us e of a ceiling fan in hot weather doesn't actu- ally lower room, tempera- ture, the constant breeze from the overhead fan m akes eve'ryone in -the room feel cooler. 0When the outdoor temperature is Iess than 80 degrees, turn off the air conditioner. Open several windows to create air cur- rents and turn on» the ceiling-fans to circulate cool air. ,@ When' you leave a room, be sure to turn off the lights.

Before opening the refrig- erator door, think of what you want. Get it, and close the door quickly to keep the cool air inside. Finally, says Nichols- Kusan, consumers should bea4aýre.of the kind of savings in energy and money made possible by ceiling fans. Depending on the model and its operat- ing speed, a single ceiling fan costs about ten cents to run for 12 hours. At the samne time, an average room air conditioner con- sumes more than a dollar's worth of electricity. Over a year,* the savings in utility costs with a ce iling fan could total more than $300. Actual savings vary, de- pending on such factors as local utility rates, the num- ber of ceiling fans in a home, room size and local climatic conditions. t your Heart Fund "Rf vou're droamina e n .m-wax flong!. lUt looI(0 aibs sale oNce!" * We want to make it easier for you to own a no-wax floor!
