Fans

I have an air conditioner, but it doesn't keep my living room cool. Every other room is just fine. So I have a little fan that I sit in front of when I'm in the living room. Unless I'm on my computer then I just turn the fan my way. It's hysterical. It's like six inches tall, and four inches wide. It stands on two feet and has a smiley face. But, it's all I've got so I'm thankful for it.

I do have central air but also ceiling fans.....and for back up...some smaller ones. I keep the ceiling fan on in my dining room and bedrom all the time.

Hello Fshmomma. When I lived in South Carolina every one had air conditioners. Some people had central air. We had central air but also did other things to keep the house cool. I would keep the patio door shades shut when the sun started to shine in the doors. We did have any ceiling fan but had a couple of box fans to help circulate the air. I also learned that the less clutter we had the cooler the house was.

The only places I can think of that are real hot is AZ, TX, NV, UT, CA -where I live and OR. I have AC and 4 fans.

I have central A/C although many people here in Ohio don't. We didn't used to need it when I was a child, we had fans and that seemed to be fine. Now I have an overhead in the living room and kitchen and a little fan in my office that I sometimes turn on. The pedestal fan in my bedroom is on every night. I don't think even cooling the air is comfortable unless it is circulating. I can't stand stagnant air. Like I told Elic, I think God every day for either A/C or heating. They make life so much more pleasant!
