Hello:

Moved into a house with a fairly large living room that has a high
(essentially two story)
ceiling.

Air circulating type of ceiling fans mounted from ceiling, which appear to
be reversible, and variable speed (presently set for a very low speed).

Also, there are A/C ducts up there from an attic mounted, split A/C type of
system.

Realize that hot air rises, and the cooler air conditioned air will tend to
sink, and, will of course experiment to see what works best, but was
wondering:

In the summer, with the A/C Off, is it "best" to run the fan in a direction
that moves the
air downward ?

How about with the ceiling A/C running ?

And, what direction best for the winter with the heat on ?

Thanks,
Bob
