What's your sq. footage and size of monthly electric bill (1 Viewer)

Ahh, ok thanks.  I must have confused two different things.  So they don't change temperature, which pops has been preaching.  They humidity / evaporation is completely unrelated that my mind somehow meshed in.

Technically, no.  To us it might seem like it's changing temp.  Sitting in front of a fan in an 80 degree room feels different than sitting in an 80 degree room with no fan, but it's still an 80 degree room.  Now, there is the situation where a fan might be sucking cold air out of one room and blowing it into another, but even then the fan isn't changing temps, it's just moving air.

It should also be noted that sitting in an 80 degree room with 80% humidity is going to feel "hotter" than sitting in an 80 degree room with 20% humidity.

A/Cs remove humidity by moving humid air over their coils.

fans move air around. 

evaporation cools the air around it. fans increase that (think about windchill). so fans make the sweat on your skin evaporate more- which helps you feel cooler.

Gotta go with Floppo here.  A ceiling fan has no way to extract moisture from the air.  It does have a motor that adds heat.

I suspect the coughing has more to do with dust being stirred up.

We dust it 3x a week bc I figured that was it at first. What about the Sahara dry nose I wake up with?

1200 sq ft above ground. I keep both heat and AC (all electric) at 72 these days. My largest power bill in the last year was $190 last February. This past July's was $130. May's was friggin' $55.

I replaced the HVAC about 3 years ago and this unit is way more efficient. Before that, I'd have bills in thew upper $200s during the hottest and coldest months.

I also live by myself, so take that into consideration.

It's the AC, not the fan.

But also likely your wife is poisoning you.
