In the summer, use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise(Forward) direction. While standing directly under the ceiling fan you should feel a cool breeze. This will circulate the cool air throughout the room to ensure your comfort.
In the winter, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise(Reverse) direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space. You can save lots of money on your heating bill when you reverse the ceiling fan direction in the winter.
Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan. In summer set the thermostat temperature from 76 to 78F and with Ceiling turned on, room temperature will be around 70 – 74F.
During Winter, set the thermostat to 67 to 69F and Ceiling Fan, it should feel like 70 to 72F. Also, check the temperature difference between the place where Thermostat is located and room temperature where your family spends most of the time. If there is difference between between 2 places, adjust the thermostat accordingly.
