Everyone’s hot and bothered. To be specific, residents across the US are finding themselves facing record heat this year. Southern Californians sweltered through a killer heat wave (literally), New Yorkers were greeted in early June with near-record and record temperatures, and even Washington State flirted with setting some heat records.

With situations like these it’s easy (and sometimes necessary) to want to flip on the AC, but there are several benefits to opting out of it, including lower utility bills, better air quality and lighter environmental impact. Ceiling fans, like the Quorum Estate 52″ Ceiling Fan, are one of the best ways to avoid air conditioning. The Quorum Estate fan costs considerably less than many air conditioner units (often about half the cost) and has less of the drawbacks you find with AC. In addition, it tends to add to your home décor rather than detract from it.

For ideal results, install ceiling fans such as the Quorum Estate fan throughout your home, use open windows to circulate air and keep the curtains closed during the day on the sunniest side of your abode.
