January 19, 2017 by insighth

Buy an Energy Star -certified fan. These models are more than 50% more energy efficient than conventional models. That’s money in your pocket every time you use it.

Make sure your install a CFL or LED lightbulb in the light fixture if your fan has one: incandescent lightbulbs add heat to a room, and CFLs and LEDs burn cooler and use about one-quarter of the energy.
