Do you have a spare room (like a bedroom) that sets empty most of the time. You would not leave a light on in that room when it wasn’t occupied. By the same reasoning don’t run a ceiling fan in that room and you could even close the vent that brings conditioned air into that room.
If that room is in the interior of your house’s footprint it will save money by not having it air conditioned as a full time space.
If that room is on an exterior corner you may want to leave the vent at 50% open and make sure the doorway is closed at all times. While the room maybe hotter than the rest of the house it won’t pass that heat load to the rest of your home.
Another related tip is to keep your walk-in closet’s doors closed at all times as well. You want to make sure that if you have what amounts to a water heater closet that door needs to be kept closed. If that door has a filter pocket make sure that it is serviced properly and checked at least monthly.
Keep in mind that fans or ceiling fans don’t actually lower the room temperature and only make humans feel cooler. It enhances the evaporation of sweat from our skin, which is the action that makes you feel cooler. Never leave the fans running in an un-occupied room. That just wastes electricity and money. So when you leave the room it is lights out and fans off to save money.
