Direction of Ceiling Fan Blades

Author: fanman, 04 01st, 2008

Children’s Ceiling FanNow that Spring is here and the weather is changing many customers ask which way should the blades on a ceiling fan turn.  Well, the answer is simple.  The Reversible Motor provides upward and downward air flow for desired air circulation. 

  1. IN SUMMER blades should turn counter clockwise.  In this position, the blades move the air creating a breeze chill effect, minimizing air conditioning costs.
  2. IN WINTER blades should turn clockwise.  In this position, the blades recirculate the rising warm air from your heating system which would otherwise escape through the roof.

    Unfortunately, there is no direct answer to find out what is forward and reverse, because it depends on the manufacturer.

    The only way is to test your fan. Here is how to do it:

    Standing directly below your fan, try both ways at high setting. If you feel a breeze, this is the “summer setting”. In the winter, you will not feel any air being blowned to you since it will be pulled up to the ceiling.

    You could also look at the angle of the blades, or take a look at the link given here… Ceiling Fan Direction
