A ceiling fan is not just for use during the summer months. The fan can also be used during the winter months to "pull" heat down from the ceiling and make the room warmer. Using a ceiling fan to warm a space is ideal if the heating in your home is poor or you are trying to save on energy costs. The ceiling fan must turn in a certain direction for heating purposes.
Instructions
1. Enter the room where the ceiling fan is located.
2. Turn on the ceiling fan.
3. Stand under the ceiling fan. If you see the fan's blades running counterclockwise and you feel a breeze of cool air coming down on you, the fan is set to cool. This is the setting for use during summer months.
4. Turn the ceiling fan off.
5. Locate the "reverse switch" or button, which controls the fan's direction. Switch it to the opposite setting. This button or switch will usually be on the fan's motor or on a remote control, if your ceiling fan has a remote.
6. Turn the ceiling fan on.
7. Look at the direction of the fan's blades. They should be running clockwise.
8. Stand under the ceiling fan. You should feel warm air coming down on you.
