I love to scrub my loft from top to bottom while in the middle of the winter… In the Spring, there is simply too much to do outside.
- In January, when the outdoor temperature drops down into the downside digits, I’m trapped inside, and there’s plenty of time to do a entirely thorough task.
I launder bedding plus curtains, scrub down all the moldings plus move furniture. I scrub under plus behind the refrigerator plus take the time to empty all of the home office cupboards. I even climb a ladder plus scrub the ceilings plus overhead light fixtures. This past year, when I stood on a ladder, I instantly started to sweat. I realized that the temperature near the ceiling was much higher than down near the floor. This meant that the heated air provided by the furnace was rising straight up plus getting wasted. It was necessary to set higher temperature control settings to achieve comfort. The furnace was running just about non stop plus consuming a fantastic deal of energy to satisfy demand. I needed to figure out a way to get the heat off the ceiling plus down closer to the floor, then ceiling fans provided the perfect solution. A bit of research showed myself and others a wide change in designs, sizes plus prices of ceiling fans. I was able to find models that include a light plus suit my decor… My spouse plus I handled the installation as a DIY project! We run the ceiling fans clockwise in the Winter time to create an updraft plus circulate moderate air around the room. This has significantly improved comfort, allowed a lower temperature control setting plus trimmed our heating costs. In the summer, with the flick of a switch, the people I was with and I reverse the direction of the ceiling fans to create a downdraft plus a cooling breeze.
