for those of you that have a room in the
house that gets very hot you may really
have a pedestal fan that you use to try
and cool yourself down now the issue
with that is all you're doing is blowing
around the hot air that's in the room
already so one solution is to get a
window fan window fans are great because
they pull in cool air from the outside
now that's assuming that you live in a
climate where it's not too hot outside
and not too humid
most of these window fans have two
settings you can either suck air from
the outside in or suck air from the
inside out from my experience the best
way is to suck the cold air in in the
region where I live we get high 20s to
maybe sometimes 30s in the summertime
and this works best in the evening so
when you're going to sleep and it's hot
in your room this is the ideal solution
if you don't want to buy an expensive
a/c and you want to be a little bit a
little bit more environmentally friendly
in my situation during the day the room
can get up to 27 degrees Celsius and if
it's 27 outside the room actually gets
up to 30 plus and so it's unbearable and
very difficult to sleep if the room is
still that temperature in the evening
one thing you may not realize when using
a window fan is that it actually pulls
dirty air from the outside into your
house now it looks clean but what you
can't see are the small particles that
get sucked in and if you've used a
window fan for long enough you'll see
that all this these particles actually
build up on the fan itself as you can
see in the fan that I have here so to
get around that problem I came up with a
simple hack that anyone can do what you
want to do is buy a furnace filter and
you can place it between the bug screen
of the window and the fan itself
though this will reduce the amount of
air that the fan can potentially suck in
it will at least be cleaner air as you
can see from this filter which I've used
for a few months now it actually does do
its job so best thing to do would be to
set up the window fan in the early
evening to start pulling in the cold air
from the outside and by the time you go
to sleep it your room will be a cooler
and much bearable in my case it can cool
down to the lower 20s and then by the
time I wake up in the morning it's 19.9
degrees in the room so very cool and
chill so let's take a look at some
infrared videos of this window fan in
action
and one more thing to note is that
window fan here will leave your window
vulnerable for anybody to break into the
house so make sure that you use it when
you're at home or have some other way to
protect the window from being pushed
open when the fan is installed
so there you have it an alternative
solution to AC units for those hot
summer nights now it won't work as well
as an AC but it is an alternative that
is fairly inexpensive so if you found
this video useful please share it with
anybody else that might thanks and see
you again
