Use the Ceiling Fan Year Round
Ceiling fans are now required to feature a reverse motor and airflow switch, allowing you to operate the fan year-round. The control is usually found on the fan’s housing. Refer to your owner’s manual to locate this switch. Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan! The benefit is additional energy and dollar savings.
In the summer, the blades should rotate in a counter-clockwise direction. This direction creates a downdraft, making you feel cooler.
In the winter, the blades should rotate in a clockwise direction. This direction creates an updraft that forces the warm air near the ceiling down into the room.
The air at the ceiling of a room is 15 degrees warmer than that on the floor. Getting this warmer air down to floor level creates comfort at a lower thermostat setting. To avoid wind chill with winter warming, operate the fan on low speed.
