Which way should a ceiling fan rotate in hot weather and which way in cool?
Most ceiling fans feature a switch that reverses their rotation. In the winter, select the top position (counter-clockwise rotation) to direct the air flow upward. The warm air near the ceiling will then be pushed down the sides of the room into the living zone, making the room feel warmer. In the summer, the switch should be in the down position (clockwise rotation) to push the air downward, causing a wind-chill effect.
