So What Direction Should Your Ceiling Fan Spin In The Winter?

With winter coming on in Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota what is the right direction to have your ceiling fan turning to save you money?

My wife and I always argue about what direction to have the ceiling fan rotating in the summer and in the winter.

It turns out that during SUMMER months you should have your ceiling fan blades spinning in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction.

This pushes the air down which creates a cool breeze that will help your rooms temperature feel cooler.

So in the WINTER, the direction your ceiling fans should be going is CLOCKWISE.

This creates an updraft that will circulate warm air up to the ceiling and out around the room and down the walls to help the room feel cozy.
