Ceiling fan direction is critical to achieving the most energy efficiency and comfort in your home. What many don’t realize is that a properly chosen and installed celing fan will give you a more comfortable and energy efficient home in both summer and winter. Since many ceiling fans are placed in inconvenient to reach locations in the home a ceiling fan with remote control is recommended. This will make correct operation of the fan more convenient and likely improve your effective use of the fan during the course of the year.

In the summer, use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction. While standing directly under the ceiling fan you should feel a cool breeze. The airflow produced creates a wind-chill effect, making you “feel” cooler. In the winter, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan — additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!
