Increased air flow allows the air conditioner and heating systems to be used at lower settings to help save you money. In the summer:Circulate cool air by using with window or central air conditioning.In the winter:Circulate warm air. Position your air circulator in an open location for upward air movement. Run it on a low setting to move the hotter air from the ceiling and circulate the warmer air throughout the room.In the winter:Use with other heat sources, such as wood stoves, baseboard heaters, and/or vents to help circulate the warm air throughout the room.
