I have air conditioning. How does moving air with a Vornado Air Circulator make you feel cooler and save money?

It has been shown that circulating air raises your threshold of discomfort. That means if you’re comfortable at a 22-degree thermostat setting with NO air moving, you can enjoy the same level of comfort at a higher thermostat setting, say 25-degrees. That 3-degree increase of the thermostat can translate into as much as a 10% savings on your electric bill. (Energy savings vary by part of the country.
