The ceiling fans cut way down on how often we actually use our A/C. Our last home only had A/C and we used it so much more. My electric bill hardly changes in the summer months which is a good indication we don't use the A/C much. We have A/C and ceiling fans as well.

In my home, we do have ceiling fans everywhere, even in the kitchen (helps with the house heating up because of the oven/stove), and we use them to compliment the A/C to try and have it working less (the A/C). <br/>Thanks,<br/>Keith<br/>PS: How about a post on the difference between using gas/oil over electricity for appliances/heat. Especially the heat, there will be real problems this winter in colder areas for people who only have oil/gas heaters! Just a thought. Nice post Todd,
