The American Fan Company will keep your house cool as it gives a wind chill factor of up to 5 degrees C. It is the environmentally-friendly option, as it only uses 5% of the power required for an air conditioning unit - the fan uses about the same electricity as a 100 watt light bulb compared to the 2,000 to 3,000 watts required for an equivalent air conditioning unit.
