Down. Controlled by a switch on the housing which directs the air flow TOWARD the ceiling rather than down toward the floor as in warmer conditions.

What ceiling fan blade edge should lead in the summer?

For most models your ceiling fan blades should be turning counter clockwise in the summer. As a general rule, the blades need to spin in the direction of the slope on the blades to create a downward draft which makes the air feel cooler. You should feel a draft or breeze when you are standing underneath the fan if it is turning in the right direction. If you do not feel that then you need to switch it to the other direction.


Which direction should ceiling fan push air in summer?

down


Which direction is a ceiling fan supposed to go in the summer clockwise or counter clockwise?

Depends on how the blades are angled. In winter, you want it to blow the warm air off the ceiling, to the floor. In summer, you want it to pull the cool air upwards.


Do ceiling fan blades turn clockwise or counterclockwise in summer?

Summer = clockwise Winter = counter-clockwise


Should a ceiling fan turn clockwise or counter clockwise in the summer?

It depends on the pitch (angle) of the blades. On most, it's counter-clockwise. Counterclockwise in the summer for cooling and clockwise in the winter for dispersing warm air.


If you have 13 foot ceilings which direction should the fans be turning?

In the winter time your ceiling fan should push the room air in an upwards motion and in the summer time the ceiling fan should push the room air in a downwards motion.


What is the difference between a ceiling fan and a table fan?

Ceiling fans should be equipped with a reversing switch to operate in a forward or reverse rotation. The ceiling fan should move the air down in the summer time and draw the air up in the winter time. The rotation of the table fan is governed by the manufacturer of the blades. These blades are contracted out and bought from a different company and the fan manufacturer will buy the cheapest ones possible. The manufacturer of the fan doesn't care what pitch blade they use, as they have the ability to run the motor in either direction depending on the blade pitch.


Does the ceiling fan go counter clockwise for summer use?

For summer use, the airflow should go down directly from the fan to the floor. For winter use it should pull the air from the floor towards the ceiling so it flows across the ceiling and around the room. So as to whether it should be clock-wise or counter clock-wise, that would depend on the angle of your blades. It's best to just stand under it when it's on. In the summer you should feel the air blowing on you from the fan and in the winter you shouldn't.


Which direction should the ceiling fan go in the winter?

In winter, fan should blow down,heat rises,get it back. In summer ,fan should blow up for a 2 story vaulted ceiling,to circulate air but not blow down hot air.On a one story in summer it can blow either,but it's a prefference.Up is ok,but down you get a lower cool index feeling.


What is the normal rotation of a fan?

Not all fans do that. Some are also reversible. Also the direction of turning is opposite if you observe from the opposite side.A bit more:On ceiling fans, they are made to be reversed for a reason, so the blades can either pull the air up or push it down. For example, on mine, with the way the blades are tilted, when it goes clockwise, it pulls the air up, pulling the warmer air upwards. When I flip the switch to reverse the direction to counter clockwise, the blades push the air downwards.For home ceiling fans, the air should be moving down in the summer time. In the winter time when the home heating unit is being used, the air should be drawn up to the ceiling. This causes a flow pattern that circulates up through the fan to the ceiling, across the ceiling and down the walls to the floor where it gets drawn back up to the ceiling. This rotational pattern draws the warm air from the ceiling and redistributes it to the floor where you can sense the warmth.


Why a table fan turn in clockwise direction?

In this way, the shadow of the fan rotating at the floor is clockwise. Ceiling fans can be set up to rotate either way, many of them have a switch that will change the direction. Others can be wired to rotate either way. Typically they are designed to push air rather than pull it.


What does the white switch on a ceiling fan do?

Reverse direction of the fan. Move air down in summer of breeze, and up in winter for circulation
