Ceiling Fan Clockwise In Summer

Running a ceiling fan in the proper direction all year round can help save energy and keep you more comfortable.

Ceiling fan clockwise in summer.

A ceiling fan should rotate counterclockwise in the summer so the blades push cooler air down in a column. Ceiling fans provide great air circulation and you can optimize these benefits by ensuring the ceiling fan rotation of the blades is correct for circulating warm air during winter or creating a breeze effect by moving or circulating the air better during a hot summer. The airflow directly underneath the ceiling fan should push down creating a wind chill effect which is going to make you feel cool. Don t assume your ceiling fan is only useful in the summertime.

In general you want your fan to run counter clockwise at higher speeds in the summer to move a breeze around and clockwise at lower speeds to help distribute heat in the winter. To make sure it is set correctly stand directly under the fan blades and watch the blades rotate. This is the best ceiling fan direction for air conditioning since it makes the air feel cooler than it is. As long as it s moving in the right direction it ll keep your space temperate all year round.

During the summer use your ceiling fan in the counterclockwise direction.
