Woman Cooling Her Home With Additional InsulationWhen it gets very hot in the summer and my central air conditioning doesn't seem to be able to get everything equally cool, instead of running extra fans in rooms where there are no ceiling fans, I use the fan setting on the central air. It circulates the air very well and makes the whole house seem cooler just the way a fan does. It costs less money to run and thus no need to turn your air down and use more electricity to cool the house.

Just make sure to change furnace/air filter more often. You can also do this in the winter when heating. Circulate the air for more warmth. I have been doing this for years, circulating the air in the whole house and saving money.

I have two west facing windows. Needless to say, they get hot. I also have things in my window that shouldn't get hot but have no other place to put them. I spent $1.00 and 15 minutes on a fix that hopefully will help block out some of the sun.
