I care about to scrub our new home from top to bottom during the middle of the winter, but in the Springtime, there is simply too much to do outside.
- In December, when the outdoor temperature drops down into the downside digits, I’m trapped inside.
There’s plenty of time to do a absolutely thorough job. I launder bedding plus curtains, scrub down all the moldings plus transport furniture. I scrub under plus behind the refrigerator plus take the time to empty all of the dining room cupboards. I even climb a ladder plus scrub the ceilings plus overhead light fixtures. This past year, when I stood on a ladder, I instantaneously 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 gave by the gas furnace was rising straight up plus getting wasted. It was necessary to set higher thermostat settings to achieve comfort. The gas furnace was running just about non stop plus consuming a great 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, and ceiling fans gave the perfect solution, however a bit of research showed myself and others a wide swing in designs, sizes plus prices of ceiling fans. I was able to find models that include a light plus suit our decor. My husband plus I handled the upgrade as a DIY project. The people I was with and I run the ceiling fans clockwise in the Wintertide to create an updraft plus circulate warm air around the room. This has significantly improved comfort, allowed a lower thermostat 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.
