Ladies…. I am asked this question every year around summertime “What direction should my ceiling be rotating?”
During winter heating, to help move warm air that is trapped on the ceiling, blades should turn ‘forward’ in a clockwise motion. This movement will push up the air and pull the warm trapped air down the sides of the room improving heat distribution.
During hot summer weather, to help produce a comfortable breeze or ‘windchill’ that cools the skin, blades should rotate in a ‘reverse’ counter-clockwise motion. The air movement has the same comfortable effect as when you fan yourself with a magazine to get relief from hot, stifling air.
Joe’s Tips
. Be sure to dust the blades on your fan before using for the summer
.If your ceiling fan is REALLY SHAKY call an electrician to be sure it’s safe to use
.If you see smoke coming for your ceiling fan turn off immediately and call an electrician not Leroy down the street IJS
.If you have a shoe string for a pull string it may be time to invest in a new fan LOL
.If the blades are warp from the heat replace the blades, remove one and run down to Homedepot of Lowes. Most deck fans needs to be replaced after 1-2 years
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhite ladies I hope that helps have a great day DIY WOMEN talk to you tomorrow
