Cieling fans. Clockwise or counter-clockwise?


Question:Which way is best during the summer and winter months? I've always wondered if I have it turning the wrong way. Help me save on energy costs!

Answers:
Just remember you want the air to blown down on you in the summer time.


Clockwise in the summer, counter clockwise in the winter. An easy way to remember if you forget is to look at a regular fan blowing and set your ceiling fan to spin that way!

In the summer you want to air blowing over your skin to cool you, have the fans blowing down. In the winter have the fans sucking up, it takes the air across the ceiling and down the walls, it also keeps the windows from fogging up, keeps the condensation off and the windows dry.
