Default OT Which direction is your ceiling fan SUPPOSED to run?

lowers your temperature 4-5 degrees [which is impossible in a CLOSED

on?]


Running the fan likely has very little (if any) effect on room
temperature. It does help carry heat away from your body, lowering it's
temperature (unless, of course, you're in a room hotter than your body
and need more than a fan).

So my question is WHICH way is this !@#$#@ system designed for? UP or
DOWN air in the summer?


Forget the rules and try both ways. If there's a difference, run it that
way. If no difference don't worry about it.
