Spin Direction: Summer vs. Winter

DID YOU KNOW??

Ceiling fans have a simple switch that reverses the direction of rotation from clockwise to counterclockwise. This small adjustment can improve airflow, cut down your cooling or heating bill, and make you feel more comfortable.

Just like changing your clocks in Spring and Fall, it's time to check your fan direction now that the weather is getting hotter. The fan direction in summer should be counterclockwise to create a downdraft, providing a direct, cooling breeze. For the cold weather months, your fan direction in winter needs to be clockwise to create an updraft and circulate warm air around the room. Depending on the fan, this switch could be up/down or left/right.
