Your HVAC fan’s setting has big implications for your energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and comfort. The fan usually operates differently from your cooling unit. It works independently and circulates throughout your home.
On and Auto are two fan settings. When the fan is On, it blows air continuously regardless of whether the air conditioner is in cooling mode. However, when the fan is set to Auto, it works dependently of the air conditioner. It only blows air when the air conditioner is actively cooling.

Know More About the Auto Setting
Pros
1. It is energy-efficient. The fan only runs when your air conditioner is on and not continuously.
2. When your fan is set to auto, the moisture from cold cooling coils drips and drained outside.
3. You replace the furnace filter regularly. If your fan is on Auto mode, there is a continuous air causing the filter to get dirty. If you have a clogged filter, it needs to use more energy.
Cons
1. There is an uneven distribution of hot and cool air. When the air temperature reaches the thermostat, the fan stops.
2. The blower motor fan wears out fast due to frequent starts and stops of your air conditioner.
