1/34 This started out as a much shorter thread about a related topic, but Something Happened and now it's a #LifeHack#instructional thread on keeping your house comfortable and saving #money and the #environment, through the magic of air movement.

7/34 First step you can take? Change the #fan setting on your #thermostat from "auto" to "on" (always on). With modern HVAC systems, the #circulation fan is generally pretty efficient; keeping it on uses some #electricity, but #saves more on the heating or cooling demands, so it's a net #benefit.
Modern furnaces will commonly run their fan at a lower speed when not "on cycle", giving you enough air movement but using even less energy to do it.
Benefit event for United Disaster Relief of Northern California on Saturday May 20 at the Ukiah Conference Center...
Dinner, music, silent auction (I'm donating 3 separate gift certificates for pet portraits!)...
$100 per ticket.
The 100% volunteer center is now fielding referrals from agencies across northern California because of the level of support we provide survivors of natural disasters and house fires. #DisasterRelief#benefit#Ukiah#MendocinoCounty#UDRNC#WendyDewitt
