Why do I need to run my AC fan all the time?
Between cooling cycles, the air in your ducts become warm. The fan will push this warm air into your home.

What’s the difference between auto and on on AC fan?
You’ll notice two settings: auto or on. Auto means the fan in your central air system will kick on automatically when a cooling cycle begins.
