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.

∙ 12y agoYour fan should blow up in the winter. The idea is to move the heat up to the ceiling and down the walls to give the room even heat.
Hot air rises so your ceiling fan needs to blow the air from the ceiling to the floor.

∙ 12y agoTurn the switch on the fan so that the air blows downward to take the hot air trapped at the ceiling to the floor. In the summer time reverse the direction. . .so that the fans draws the cooler air from the floor and mixes it with the hotter air at the ceiling

∙ 13y agoFor winter use, a ceiling fan should spin so that warm air near the ceiling is pushed back down toward the floor. Think of the fan blades as scoops - you want the fan to turn so that the higher edge of the blade is in front, so it catches the air and pushed it down. If the blades slope upward to the right, you'll want the fan to turn clockwise when viewed from below; if the blades slant upward to the left when viewed from the side, set the fan to turn counterclockwise. Most fans sold in the United States should be set to turn counterclockwise in winter.

∙ 15y agoreverse or blowing upwards this causes the air to push the warm cieling air down around the walls.

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.
Which direction should a ceiling fan go?
A ceiling fan should blow downwards when used with cooling, upward when used with heating.
How do you change the fan direction on a ceiling fan?
There should be a small slide switch on the fan. Turn it off and let it stop then move the slide switch then restart it and it should go in the other direction. If you are smart enough to ask a question on answers.com you should be smart enough to change the direction of a ceiling fan!
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
Which direction should ceiling fan push air in summer?
down
Why ceiling fan rotates in anticlockwise direction but table fan rotates in clockwise direction?
Ceiling fans usually can rotate in either direction. There is usually a switch on the unit. This allows downflow during the warm season and upflow during the winter. The direction of rotation of a table fan is determined by the shape of the blades. A motor can be made to run in either direction but to force air to the front of the table fan, it must rotate in the direction that the blades will force the air properly.
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.
Should ceiling fan switch be up or down in summer?
With a typical fan, run the fan counter-clockwise in the summer, and in the winter, run the fan clockwise at a low speed. In the summer, blow the air down to directly cool you. If you have a large room, and you are on the outside of the room, you may want to run the fan in the opposite direction. In the winter, blow the air up on slow to pull the cool air up, mixing the cool air with the warm air at the ceiling, and pushing the air across the ceiling to the walls, then coming down the walls, and minimizing wind chill.
Does a ceiling fan break in?
It should not be necessary to 'break in' a ceiling fan.
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.
If we change the polarity of capacitor in ceiling fan why it starts rotating reverse direction?
by changing the polarity of capacitor of single phase ceiling fan can we change the direction of rotation from anticlockwise to clockwise
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.
