When should I change the direction of my ceiling fan?
While your fan should spin counterclockwise during the summer months, it needs to spin clockwise during the winter months. Fans should also spin at a low speed so they can pull cool air upward.

Do ceiling fans spin both ways?
Most ceiling fans have a switch that lets you change the direction of the blades so they rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise (some fan manufacturers label this “forward” and “reverse” respectively).
