Does a ceiling fan, in the summer- in the midwest, work better going in a clock-wise or counter-clockwise direction?
A ceiling fan serves three purposes: it circulates the warm air throughout the area or a room, to provide a cooler environment by creating a chill in the space, and to beautify the room in which it resides. For optimal heat air distribution, your fan should run in reverse during the winter months. During the summer months, the ceiling fan should operate in the forward position and at a slightly higher speed. Unfortunately, there is no direct answer to find out what is forward and reverse, because it depends on the manufacturer. The only way is to test your fan. Here is how to do it: Standing directly below your fan, try both ways at high setting. If you feel a breeze, this is the “summer setting”. In the winter, you will not feel any air being blowned to you since it will be pulled up to the ceiling. Or take a look at the link given here… http://www.ceiling-fan-wizard.com/ceiling-fan
