Airconditioners Or Electric Fans  

Although air conditioners are more effective, we try to use the fans first because we want to save electricity. But sometimes, especially during the summer, it gets too hot,even with the fans. When that happens, when the fans only can push around hot air, then we turn on the air conditioner for an hour or two. We only have it on long enough to cool the room down. Then, we turn the fans back on and the air conditioner back off. This usually lasts for an afternoon. We may have to repeat the process once or twice, but at least we're saving energy.

It gets very hot here in the summer with temperatures above 40 degrees celsius. It's very difficult to sleep when your body temperature is hot, so we always put the air conditioner on at night. I also keep it on a low temperature during the day so that it remains at an even temperature and the air conditioner doesn't have to work hard. When I was having my air conditioner serviced last year, the serviceman told me that it was actually more energy efficient to keep the air conditioner on all day at a constant temperature. Thus, the air conditioner would not be forced to work so hard then if you left it off all day and then used it to cool off the house.

honestly, i feel so uncomfortable in airconditioned rooms. i just feel sick when i get to be in an airconditioned room for a day. actually, there are even times when i get fever. maybe i am just not too used to so much cold or maybe i am more relaxed with electric fans on.

We only bought our air conditioner at home when my wife give birth to our first child.Our room is not well ventilated that's why an electric fan is not sufficient to cool down the whole room.It made us decide to purchase a 0.5Hp Aircon enough to cool down the whole room area.We only make us of the air conditioner during night time for almost 8 hrs. So far, our electric bill is not that big enough and only a little difference from the previous billings before we use the air conditioner.

We don't have an air conditioner but we do have electric fans. I absolutely can not use a fan blowing on me all night I get phenomena every time. My husband has to have a fan or he can hardly breath so it's funny how two people can be so different. Last year on ebay I finally found a swamp cooler and they work pretty good.

Since my place is in lipa, we have a cooler climate here. However, during summer, we also tend to feel the warm air. My house is surrounded by trees like, mango, langka, sinigwelas, guava, santol, rambutan, papaya, malunggay, and banana trees. Therefore, whenever we feel warm, we just go to our yard and will try to feel and inhale the fresh air coming from our trees. When inside the house, electric fan is the best. But we don't use this electric fan at night. Because, as I said, it is cool here. Air conditioner as you said is a bit expensive especially when you are trying to budget the households.

I have to have air conditioning. Due to my medical condition, if I get hot, it exacerbates the disease, and causes issues. One of the lovely problems with having Multiple Sclerosis. It isn't fun to have especially when I use to like the warm weather.

Well living in Florida we get a lot of heat and humidity in the summer time. Well not even in the summer we have it already and it's only April. Right now we can go with just the house fan and the windows open along with ceiling fans but already we have had a few days were we had to turn on the a/c. When it's in the 80's you'd think that's not bad but then you add in humidity of 95% and you feel like you are breathing in water you turn on the a/c. We are also on medications and have medical issues that make it so we shouldn't be exposed to high temperatures so the a/c is really a neccessity not a want. Believe me I hate the electric bill come the summer time. It's always so high but what can we do? There isn't much choice.
