Mary says
Is your basement cool? I leave the door open put a fan down there and point it upstairs at the open door. Instant ac! I refuse to pay for an ac here in northern vt when we spend 8 months trying to stay warm!
Mavis Butterfield says
Oh Mary! I am going to try this. Thank you. I’m glad I’m not the only one who refuses to pay for a/c.
Nancy Sadewater says
This is done in both N. Illinois and Wisconsin as well. It really works too.
Kathy says
I have a window ac unit that I don’t use as it’s ineffective to cool off a 740 square foot apartment. Plus I don’t like $100+ electric bills. Ceiling fan and several ocilating fans work great. Where I’m at in northern Ohio it’s been 90+ for most of the week. It is heck on the arthritic hip but one adapts, right? Stay hydrated and long last our ice cream!
Susan H. says
Have you tried putting a bowl of ice in front of your fans? We use the basement fan trick too and it helps tremendously. We do have ac but with a heat index of 105 yesterday we needed it!
Mavis Butterfield says
It doesn’t work because of the humidity here. 🙁
DF says
Maybe you should eat watermelon.
Laura says
You might also look at an attic fan. We had one growing up and it did a fantastic job of bringing in the cool night air. Once the cool air is in, close things up to keep it cool as long as possible. I think I would get one room AC for the main living room that you hang out in, just to keep comfortable. Life is too short to be miserable. Really!
