Which way should ceiling fans turn in the winter?

Answer by  TMATM (499)

In the winter the fan should turn clockwise at a low speed. Since warm air naturally rises, this will draw room air up and push warmer air down and out toward the walls. This will circulate the warm air around the room. Note that high fan speed will make you feel as if colder air is circulating through the room.
