As the region prepares for the first potential heat wave of the season, staying cool is more important than ever.
An often overlooked tip for maximizing home comfort is to make sure your ceiling fan is spinning in the right direction.
In summer, ceiling fans should rotate counterclockwise. This pushes cool air down, creating a breeze that makes the room cooler.
Feel the breeze: If you feel a cool breeze, your fan is spinning counterclockwise and set correctly for summer.
If changes need to be made: If you don’t feel any breeze, turn off the fan. Locate the direction switch on the motor housing (usually a small toggle switch) and press it.
By making sure your ceiling fan is facing the right direction, you can increase your comfort and even save some money when the weather heats up.
