White I agree with everything else, a furnace/ac does _not_ oscillate. It's fixed. You can adjust the vents to aim them, but you cannot make them push air to every part of the room on a rotating basis.

Having said that, oscillating fans annoy me because the degree of rotation is almost never controllable. I have very rarely seen fans with a clip underneath that causes the rotation to reverse direction.

Many people who live in apartments don't have furnaces.
Uh, mine doesn't have s remote, It's visible in living space, loud and doesn't effectively circulate all rooms.

I suspect that you're fairly lucky.

Check your electric bill vs running a fan all night.
