  4. Control Temperatures
    Even though a fan doesn’t technically affect the actual temperature within your home it can be utilized to help make your space feel cooler or warmer depending on the setting you have it on.

This will ensure that warm air gets pushed down and make your space feel warmer, plus it can help lower your energy bill by fifteen percent. In the summer months running your blades counterclockwise will cooler downward air flow, accelerate evaporation of perspiration, make the room feel six to eight degrees cooler, and save you up to forty percent on your utility bill.
    Tip: This trick works in outside spaces as well! Just make sure that the fan you use is certified for outdoor use.
