Power Facts ALABAMA POWER CUSTOMER NEWSLETTER June 2016 www.AlabamaPower.com 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 fi nd 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. Ceiling fans help your air conditioner work more effectively, keeping you comfortable.
