In the summer, your ceiling fan should spin counterclockwise. This creates a downdraft that produces a cooling breeze.
To check whether your fan is spinning counterclockwise, stand underneath it. Look up at the ceiling fan blades. They should be rotating from right to left.
Changing your ceiling fan direction is important in the summer because it helps keep your room cooler, which means you can turn up the temperature a little without suffering. When your A/C doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your room cool, it reduces your energy consumption. This will help your wallet!
