Beat the Heat with Smart Fans | Lansing News

Michigan’s sweltering heatwave is here, with temps hitting near 100°F and heat indexes soaring to 105—this dome’s sticking around through Sunday. Stay cool without AC? Box fans are your hero: energy-efficient, budget-friendly, and eco-conscious. Point them outward on hot sides of your home, inward on cooler ones, or aim upstairs if you’ve got a multi-story house. Calculate your fan’s cost by multiplying wattage by hours, dividing by 1000, then by your electricity rate. Beyond fans: swap oven for microwave or grill, close blinds, delay laundry and dishwashing until evening, and opt for quick, cool showers to beat the humidity.
