Changing your ceiling fan direction seasonally is a simple way to SAVE YEAR-ROUND. The ceiling fan direction in summer should be counterclockwise to help create a downdraft, which creates that direct, cooling breeze. Your fan direction in winter needs to be clockwise to create an updraft and circulate warm air around the room.

By adequately setting ceiling fan rotation direction in the summer, you can save up to 30% on your cooling costs (we’ll explain why, and calculate US dollar AC savings further on). In the winter, you can save up to 15% on heating costs if you know which fan spin direction to choose.

2023年11月22日 · In summer and hotter months, your ceiling fan blades should rotate counterclockwise. When fan blades turn counterclockwise, they push cooler air down in a column. This creates a “wind chill” effect. To maximize this effect, run your fan at its highest speed.

2024年11月18日 · Depending on your style of ceiling fan, there will be one of three ways to switch your fan direction: a ceiling fan pull chain, a remote control, or a smart fan connected to the internet. Here are basic instructions to switch your fan's direction.

2024年12月2日 · During summer or on warm days, the ceiling fans should be set to rotate counterclockwise from the perspective of looking up at the fan. The biggest effect of a ceiling fan with a downward push (standard setting) is the evaporative cooling effect.

2023年2月11日 · A ceiling fan should spin in a counter-clockwise direction during summer and in a clockwise direction during winter. These spinning directions are based on which way the fan spins when you look at it from below.

2024年12月9日 · A ceiling fan can keep your house warmer in winter and cooler in summer, as long as it's spinning in the right direction. Here are some expert tips.

2024年6月20日 · When colder weather hits, your ceiling fan should rotate clockwise to help distribute heat from your furnace, fireplace, or space heater. By creating an updraft, the fan pulls cool air from below up toward the ceiling and pushes the warm air around the room, effectively eliminating any cold pockets.

In the summer, your fan should rotate counterclockwise. In the winter, your ceiling fan should rotate clockwise. The difference in rotation can affect both the temperature and how much you spend on your energy bill.

Ceiling fans typically have two rotation settings: clockwise and counterclockwise. The direction of the blades’ rotation affects the airflow and, consequently, the room’s temperature and comfort levels.
