So, which setting is best?<\/p>\n<p>There are actually a few benefits to leaving your furnace fan on all the time. First, it can help to\u00a0<strong style=\"color: #333333; font-style: normal;\">even out the temperature in your home<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">. If you have ever noticed that one room is always hotter or colder than the rest of the house, it could be due to uneven air distribution. By leaving the fan on, you can help to circulate the air and even out the temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of leaving the fan on is that it can help to <strong>improve your indoor air quality<\/strong>. When the fan is running, it helps to <a href=\"\/shop\/filters-pads\/furnace-filters\">filter<\/a> out any dust, pollen, or other allergens that may be floating around in your home. This can be especially beneficial if anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, leaving your furnace fan running all the time can <strong>save you money<\/strong> in the long run. Many people think that it costs more to run the fan continuously, but this is not necessarily true. When you leave the fan running, your <a href=\"\/hvac-services\/furnaces-barrie\">furnace<\/a> does not have to work as hard to heat up your home, which can save you money on your energy bills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve ever been in a home with a central heating and cooling system, you&#8217;ve probably noticed that there are two settings for the fan &#8211;
