Reverse The Blade Rotation Of A Thomasville Ceiling Fan

Many Thomasville ceiling fans have remote controls to reverse the blade motion.


Ceiling fans are used to move the air in your home. Not only does this help in the summer to push cooler air down into the room but in the winter months, you can reverse the blade motion causing the air in the room to be pulled up toward the ceiling and helping to keep the room warmer. Reversing the blade motion on a Thomasville ceiling fan does not require the removal of the ceiling fan blades but only a push of a button, slide of switch or using the fan’s remote control.








Instructions


1. Look at the remote control that you use for your Thomasville ceiling fan. Look for a button that either shows an image of the fans rotating one way and then the other way or a button labeled "For/Rev." Each Thomasville remote is slightly different. Press the button to change the blade rotation. If your fan does not have a remote proceed to Step 2.


2. Use a ladder or chair to climb up on to view the housing of the ceiling fan. Look for a button or a switch. Press the button or move the switch in the opposite direction. This will cause the fan to begin rotating the blades in the opposite direction.


3. Test the function by turning the Thomasville ceiling fan on and reversing the blade function. The blade function is generally reversed in the warm months and the cooler months. In the warmer months, you want the blades rotating so the air is pushed down into the room; in cooler months, you want the air being pulled up towards the ceiling.
