Ceiling fans
help your air
conditioner
work more
effectively,
keeping you
comfortable.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Cover and bring
to a boil. Remove from heat to cool. Place in refrigerator
until time to serve.
When temperatures are extreme, power bills tend to
be higher than normal. So as we deal with the dog
days of summer, keep a close eye on the thermostat
and remember that ceiling fans can make a room feel
3 to 4 degrees cooler than the thermostat setting.
While we recommend keeping your thermostat set
on 78 in the summer, some people find 78 a little
too warm. But with a ceiling fan, you can keep that
thermostat on 78 and the room will feel like it's 74 or
75. Those 3 or 4 degrees will make a big difference on
your power bill. So become a fan of the fan.
