Set your ceiling fan to spin counterclockwise in summer for a cooling breeze and clockwise in winter to circulate warm air.
Summer: Counterclockwise for Cooling
During warm months, your ceiling fan should rotate counterclockwise when viewed from below. This pushes air downward, creating a wind-chill effect that makes your skin feel cooler without lowering the room temperature. The moving air accelerates sweat evaporation, allowing you to raise your thermostat by about 4°F while maintaining comfort, which can reduce air conditioning costs by up to 30%
Winter: Clockwise for Warmth
In colder months, set your ceiling fan to clockwise rotation at low speed. This creates an updraft that pulls cooler air from the floor and pushes warm air trapped near the ceiling down along the walls, evenly distributing heat throughout the room. This can reduce heating costs by 10–15%
