Default Ceiling fans - up or down?

The fans, being up
high, are not easy to get at to change direction. Right now they are
set to "blow" down. Is this the best way to distribute the heat or
would up be better?

The usual convention is to have the fans set to blow down in the summer and up
in the winter. The reason being is that moving air feels cooler, regardless of
temperature.

That said, most modern fans are reverable electronically. You may want to think
about replacing the fans with something newer, if it really bothers you.
