With this hot weather looming, I’m sure all of us are looking for new ways to keep cool on the cheap, right? Well, string together a plan to stimulate your pocketbook, air circulation, and energy savings, simply by making sure your ceiling fan’s set to run counterclockwise. No sweater, isn’t it? Just remember that counterclockwise in the summer and clockwise in the winter.

Here are some benefits: Unbelievable bill savings. You’ll save up to 40% on A/C in the summer and 10% on heating in the winter by managing air flow with a ceiling fan (that’s up to $10/month). Another is more energy for scarf making. Most ceiling fans use only about as much power as a 100-watt incandescent bulb. And you can have comfier spinsters. Running your fan counterclockwise in summer directs air downward and creates a breeze; in the winter, running it clockwise will force cold air upward and warm air down to you.
