Which direction should your ceiling fan spin in winter? We VERIFY

Spinning your ceiling fan in a clockwise direction and at a low speed in the winter can make a room feel warmer. Here’s why.

Winter (clockwise) to the right brings warm air back down
Summer (counterclockwise)
to the left brings hot air up

My fan is going counter clockwise but it's still very hot in my room 😅

Your thumbnail shows the complete opposite.

they should VERIFY the accuracy of this report. The video is spinning the fan the wrong way. But its on the internet so it must be true, right!

I ran my fan counterclockwise. No downwards air. I switched it to clockwise and had tons of downwards air flow. I think these guys are a little goofy.

Clockwise, n counterclockwise for summer

Did not get this. It looks like at winter hot air naturally goes upwards and idea is to bring it down. The fastest way to do it is to have it the same way as at summer. Where I'm wrong?

[@rubenhernandez648]

heat rises

[@zisaizic4759]

it's more or less the same in terms of air movement. you just don't want air coming directly towards you in the winter as it would get you even colder

Thanks!

In winter, we don't feel comfortable in an area with fast air circulation.
