Which ceiling fans are best for summer and winter.

Wall fan ventilating. Ceiling fans are the must have home appliance for summer but did you know that ceiling fans are also handy in the fall and winter. The direction your ceiling fan should spin in the summer and the winter depends on the type of fan you have and at which angle the blades have been set by the manufacturer or by. This is one of the most commonly asked questions we get from people who own lower quality ceiling fans that seem to make little or no difference in summer or winter regardless of the direction they are spinning.

This pulls cool air up toward the ceiling which in turn displaces the warm air that rises and collects near the ceiling. A ceiling fan that spins clockwise will draw cooler air up and force warmer air near the ceiling down and out toward walls. Ceiling fan direction in the winter should be clockwise and the fan should run at the lowest speed.

A clockwise ceiling fan direction for high ceilings is especially important in winter. Its best to run the fan on a low speed so that it doesnt create too much of a cooling breeze. You can also save in energy costs when the ceiling fan is on the correct setting to support your cooling or heating efforts.

Reverseanti clockwise direction is for in summer during summer you want the maximum cooling effect. Such fans are poorly made and simply dont move much air in either direction.
