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.


If moving air feels cooler regardless of temperature, then what's better in
winter - fans on to draw air up, or fan off ? *I keep mine off.


Wild guess he Whichever makes you and yours feel the most
comfortable.
