It’s Gettin Hot In Here: So Reverse Your Ceiling Fans?

We are all about doing any and everything to stay “cool” at our house. Went with the concrete floor thing and I know it’s crazy but we feel too cool to change back to something “less ugly”.

We also put cooling panels in some of our windows and yes, reverse our fans. It’s a thing, you know? As we perspire, sweat, or glisten our way in the 90s this week, this is a good time to reverse those ceiling fans!

If you adjusted the spin to counter-clockwise for winter, time to flip em’ back. (Counterclockwise mixes warm air near the ceiling keeping you warmer)

In Spring and summer, the fans should spin clockwise to push air down and keep you cooler. Can save you a few energy bucks too.

Here’s the upside if you never changed them last year. You’re already done. Good job.

Tips For Working From Home

• Get Dressed!

  Share

  Sure, you're not leaving your house (that's kinda the point), but you should still make it a point to shower and get dressed. It'll feel more normal for you.

• Set Up A Dedicated Workspace!

  Share

  Your kids are home from school, so are other family members. Plus, there are distractions abound. Find a spot in your home and treat it like your office.

• Set a Schedule

  Share

  Stick to your normal work hours. Line up your tasks, and when you've worked through them for the day, log off. You need to keep your work/life balance.
• Exercise!

  Share

  Make sure you make time to get up and move around. Try and exercise before you start work for the day (or after, if that's better for you.)

• Stay Connected!

  Share

  There's plenty of conference call and video conference apps and programs out there. Your company is bound to use one of them. Stay connected with your co-workers to remain productive and make the isolation feel just a little less.

• Take Breaks!

  Share

  Experts say you should work in 35-minute incriments. Get up, take a quick breather. Walk around. Stretch. Get a glass of water or another cup of coffee. You'll feel refreshed and be more productive.
• Remember, We’re On Your Smart Speaker

  Share
