AC fan on?

Ours runs non stop for air circulation. I don't sleep well at all with the constant change of climate when set on auto.

Ours had 2 speed setting HI/LO although LO really didn't move a lot of air so rarely used that setting.

Haha...I know that's an option. I just didn't know if it was OK for extended periods of time, or continuously. I'm sure there are examples of settings and options being available that aren't necessarily the best way to run things.

A quick example that popped into mind.....the vivid setting on an old plasma TV. On early models this tended to quicken cases of burn in.

Just poking fun........

We use the A/C Fan by itself a lot.......spring time just to move some air, winter time to help circulate furnace warm air.

Career was working in power plants and found that motors seem to last longer/have less issues when the are run vs long stationary periods

I like to leave the A/C fan on at night. It helps mask the noise from the propane furnace fan coming on and off if cold at night. For warm nights, I usually leave the roof fan over the bedroom on for white noise or use my white noise app on my smartphone at the bedside.

sure

It won't hurt to run the fan, but like mentioned, there are other options.

My wife bought a couple of noise machines (not sure of proper name). We use one at home, and one in the FW. They use very little power, and are natures relaxing sounds. There is about 8 sounds, volume adjustable, to choose from. I like the bubbling brook. I can't remember all, but there is ocean waves crashing, birds chirping, plain white noise, and others.

I wouldn't wear out the fan/motor/etc. in my AC for white noise. lots of other options.
bumpy

We always have a fan of some type (12vDC or 120vAC) running at night for white noise and have used the AC fan for this purpose when camping during warm weather. Do the same thing at home all year long.
