Can a Humble Fan Beat Your AC? You'd Be Surprised.

Running air conditioners accounted for almost 20% of U.S. residential electrical consumption in 2020. However, in some cases, a fan may be a more affordable and efficient option. According to Chip Berry of the Residential Demand Program, fans don’t cool the air but instead cool the person. By switching to a fan, people can reduce their energy usage, lower their monthly power bills, and relieve stress on power grids.
