WalMart Deal  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,950 in life 4 years ago

Well in the past 2 weeks I had 2 fans die on me. Today one broke and I had it tore apart trying to fix it but the motor was burnt out. It was over 10 years old after all. Well dad then asked me how much they cost. I said about $20 and he hands me $40 saying go get a good fan from WalMart then. I never turn down freebies even from dad. Hee hee hee. So I fouind these 20 inch 3-speed fans on sale at WalMart. $10 each. So I bought two. Just in time as tomorrow it is going to be hot and humid once again. My a/c will be on with the fan helping circulate the cool air into the office and bedrooms. I only have a window a/c in the living room. Do you use fans with your a/c to circulate air? Or do you have central air? Do you use just fans? Or is it cold as heck where you are?

I only WISH it would be cold here! But no such luck and today was pretty miserable. We don't have central air, no. I have an air conditioner in the kitchen and one in one of the bedrooms.

I usually have fans going at the same time, but basically that's because the air conditioning doesn't really reach to my desk too well and my office area here gets very hot.

I've been thinking about getting one of those units that sit inside on the floor and have only a hose/tube or something going out of the window. That would have felt soooo good on a day like this! w00t

It was really nice this morning and afternoon. Now the dewpoint is rising and the humidity can be felt going up. Goping to be nasty tomarrow for sure. The A/C will be turned on as soon as I wake up I think. Get a small window A/C for the office. I am getting a little one next year as I am in the office most the day anyhow.

We don't have air conditioning, we have fans and the fans tend to be pointed at the floor...for the dogs...they seem to suffer from the heat more then we do.

I wish it was cold as heck!


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I have one box fan on the floor in the living room and one in the office on the floor. Buster is usually fouind very near one of them when it's nasty.

My house has an old central air unit. The entire system needs to be redone. I just use fans. Yes it is hotter that way, but my electric bill last month was only $96. So not only were my Walmart fans a good deal, but they are saving me money.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

My wife wants central air as well. But she needs to understand we need new windows first as they leak terribly. the windows are the old fashioned ones from the mid 50's. We've replaced one out of 15 so far. HAHAHA!

We have had a couple of real nice warm sunny days. I guess all the trees and plants help cool down the environment where I live in. As long as there's breeze I can't complain of the heat.

We rarely use the fan as it cools down to a comfortable level at night time and the house is well insulated especially the basement.

Regarding your fan, I can't believe they lasted for 20 years, must have been a good brand! I'd say you wouldn't buy new ones if they didn't they their normal death! LOL! But it's about time you change them and probably the fan these days are energy efficient and you save a bit on the power bill.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I and my dad are home all day long so we need something to keep the house cool while we sit here. Cheap brand fans actually. I just repair them when I can if they falter. Then when they die I get new ones. HAHAHA! The last two were beyond repair so they will be sent to fan cemetary.

Hi my friend,

We have central air conditioning in our house and when it is hot and humid we run the air. I don't deal well when it is hot an humed. In the office, I have a ceiling fan that I use if I'm still warm. During the day, I'm the only one home, so I turn the temp up on the a/c and use the fan. No use cooling all the other rooms. lol

We also use fans when the a/c is off and it's a little warm in the house. It sure does help circulate the air around.

Have a great day!

Char

I have bronchial asthma and when it gets really humid my bronchial tube likes shrinking causing me an asthma attack. So I use my inhalers a lot during the summer compared to winter and or fall.

It is very hot here and I do have central air. My central air was turned on the last part of May. I also have ceiling fans that we turn on to circulate the air. I could not be in my house without it. It gets to darn hot.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Well here in Minnesota my heat was on a week or more. We had snow in the first week of May also. Nasty but now the heat and humidity are here for a while.

hello grandpa bob

what a good deal that you got on your fans today at Wal-Mart! whoo hoo! and yes, i do have a central heat and air conditioning unit in the house that my family and myself live in, but i also have a small window air conditioning unit in my kitchen window. and i have four ceiling fans throughout the house as well that i like to leave turned on to help circulate the cool air from the air conditioning. and we have had storms here in the Nashville area most all afternoon today, and i have been dealing with loosing my dsl signal on and off today as well as it being less humid. i can stay hot to warm all day long, but when it comes time to go to bed at night time, then i like to stay cool and comfy sleeping.

have a beautiful evening.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I have just 1 ceiling fan. I want to get one with lights installed in the living room soon as well. I have not had issues with my DSL during the humidty and heat. iIs it normal for that to happen from heat and humidity?

myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720)  4 years ago

i do not have a problem with my dsl line when it is hot and humid, sorry about that, when it looks like it is going to come a storm or if it does storm, my dsl signal goes out every time. it pisses me off good when that happens. lol and does BellSouth do anything about it? nope.

I only have a window air conditioner here in this rat-trap I'm living in now, but I have two fans and I need anything at all, I'll try to get by with just one of those.

If it's really bad by late afternoon, I'll turn the air on, but at night I just use a fan, since the air doesn't circulate well to the other rooms, even with fans.




myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 371 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

My living room faces west so the shades and drapes are usually closed when it is really hot and humid to block out the heat from the suns rays as well.
