Quick Guide: Ceiling Fan Direction for Summer & Winter
To maximize year-round energy efficiency, adjust your fan's rotation based on the season.
- Summer (Cooling): Set the fan to spin Counter-Clockwise. This creates a direct downdraft, providing a refreshing wind-chill effect.
- Winter (Warming): Set the fan to spin Clockwise at a low speed. This pulls cool air up and forces warm air trapped near the ceiling back down into the living space.
