My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Most cost effective fan setting?

18 years ago

I read the posts about fan setting, but don't know what the cheapest setting for my air conditioner is.

I live in a double wide mobile home in AZ. It heats up to almost 20 degrees higher than outside with no cooling. We have insulated the windows as best as possible for what little money we have. In order to keep most of the living areas at 74*, we have to set the thermostat to 68* in the evenings.

Is it cheaper to have the fan on circulate or auto?
