Does it *really* matter? Either you're pushing air down the center of

Besides, I can't reach the direction switch on the one in my living
room. I have a 5' ladder and a 14' ceiling.


Blowing down will make people feel cooler -- good in summer.

In the winter, you probably want it blowing upwards -- but
maybe you don't need to run it at all during winter. And it
don't matter which way it's blowing if it ain't blowin'.
