I have always been told up in the winter and down in the summer. However, my house I have a ceiling like the one in the video. But mine has a loft area up top, so I found if I leave my ceiling fan in the living room on up in the summer, the loft stays cooler. If I put it to down, the living room gets the draft, but the loft is a lot warmer.

Cheap builder-grade fans look best when they match & blend in with the ceiling color, imho. When they stand out too much they can look dated & gaudy. And why many people take them down. A shame because they're very effective & use relatively little energy.

On sale at Menards with a rebate. $40 each! Unbelievable and one of the best improvements to our bedrooms. So much better than pedestal fans.

Nice. Light kit connects with a plug/socket. Last fan I installed was still using wire nuts for the light kit connections. I try to avoid fans, but they do help with the heating and cooling. Air direction will be different depending on the time of the year. Be careful of your mind control...

In my house we have 2 floors and a ceiling fan in the stairwell. We're also situated on a hill that gets a good amount of high pressure wind swooping down it so when the front door and the back sliding door are open. All that hot air flows out and keeps the main floor cool. I've noticed it depends on day and night in the summer but typically I have it blowing down at night to pull outside air in through the bedroom windows and down to the main floor. During the day I have it pulling air up to keep the main floor extra cool and push air out the bedroom windows. In the winter, it's Canada, have you lost your god damn mind, turn off that fan lol.

It doesn't matter which way it is turning. It will move the air either way. We have a 20 ft ceiling and the fan is hanging 4 ft from the ceiling. After changing the burnt out light bulbs a couple of times, I decided to get a fan with a LED light, because they will last for 50,000 hours and I will never have to change the bulb again. About a year later and probably less than 100 hours later the light quit working. This fan also came with a remote to turn on the light and change the speed of the fan, but you still have to flip the switch to change rotation. So now I have a ceiling fan that only goes one direction and no light.

@seanbancroft3955 4 жыл бұрын
Does it really make a difference? Considering the room's a closed system (more or less) either way you stir the air will just homogenize the temperature. In other words, if you pull the hot air down, it's replaced with the only air available-- the cold air on the bottom. Other way works too. There's other factors too: pushing down is harder on contact-lens wearers, for instance.

Ceiling fans cool people not places, use during the summer when in the room to save on AC. But some people like the air movement, to each there own, just don't buy an energy hog fan. Use LED Filament bulbs, at whatever color temperature you like. The frosted Philips glass LED Filament bulbs are 7W 800lumen and work well.
