I recently *had a conversation with an insurance adjuster who told me

He's a lying sack of sh*t!

Tell that to the mobile home that I was renting back in the early 80's
that burnt to the ground after I left a box fan running while I was at
the grocery store.

So you don't use a box fan now?

Nope. Ceiling fans.

Which just stir inside air.

Ever heard of wind chill?

Yep, I use it all summer long. *Turn on the furnace fan and let it run
keeps the AC from kicking in for hours. *Much more effective than my

So you ignore the part that works for me and you think you made a
point? *FWIW I spent years in Texas and a couple of summers in the
humid, hot DC area. *Box fans were a survival tool at night.

Glad to hear that you are convinced that overhead fans are the only
thing that is useable.

Ceiling fans are what *I* prefer along with central AC. Box fans are
*loud*, unattractive, inconvenient and only blow to centralized spot.
So whatever works for ya.
