Installed a ceiling fan in my parents' kitchen yesterday thanks to your previous videos. Didn't get paid in money but got a delicious dinner out of it! Thanks Handyman!
I have always been told up in the winter and down in the summer. However, my house I have a ceiling like the one in the video. But mine has a loft area up top, so I found if I leave my ceiling fan in the living room on up in the summer, the loft stays cooler. If I put it to down, the living room gets the draft, but the loft is a lot warmer.
Realtors all want me to take them out. Homeowners want them installed. I can't wait to be called back to the same house twice to install the fan I removed 3 months previous.
I dunno how they are supposed to spin but in my house, we rarely ever use them in the winter, and in the summer I like them blowing on me cooling me off.
Does it really make a difference? Considering the room's a closed system (more or less) either way you stir the air will just homogenize the temperature. In other words, if you pull the hot air down, it's replaced with the only air available-- the cold air on the bottom. Other way works too. There's other factors too: pushing down is harder on contact-lens wearers, for instance.
Sean Bancroft in theory maybe... but did you ever sit underneath a down-blowing fan in the winter? I’m no hvac pro, but I think the feel of a rooms temp is more critical than what the thermostat says.
Was going to make this point so glad you did. Air has to displace itself when it moves. Does clockwise or counter clockwise matter? Or whatever way air is moving. Eventually the system balances out, no?
@@theadhdhandyman I think you're talking about evaporative cooling--feeling cooler because of the air that's hitting you and pulling heat off your skin. I'm going to claim that's what I meant by "other factors"!
Sean Bancroft - Being sweaty and sitting under a fan pulling air is drastically different than being sweaty and sitting under a fan pushing air. I’ve experienced it first hand, even in a house with AC.
Great job handyman, hope the limited edition O Light sell well great cause , i live in Ireland and people are doing their best to support the health services, and the wider emergency services. Sad to see great nations such as the U.S.A. suffering through this horrible Pandemic.Stay Safe handyman really enjoy your humor in your videos .Thanks handyman
Nice. Light kit connects with a plug/socket. Last fan I installed was still using wire nuts for the light kit connections. I try to avoid fans, but they do help with the heating and cooling. Air direction will be different depending on the time of the year. Be careful of your mind control...
LED are the best. Don’t believe the whining. Given the cathedral of that ceiling, I think I’d want the fan to pull air up, as you did and circulate that high dead area. But in the summer.............
I remember that interior designer "Doug" from Trading Spaces about 20 years ago. He always removed ceiling fans because he said they weren't visually appealing. Screw "Doug!"
Cheap builder-grade fans look best when they match & blend in with the ceiling color, imho. When they stand out too much they can look dated & gaudy. And why many people take them down. A shame because they're very effective & use relatively little energy.
@@droolbunnyxo9565 I installed some $40 Turn of the Century (called Harbor Breeze at Lowes) fans in brushed nickle with dark wood blades in our 4 bedrooms last May. With remotes! On sale at Menards with a rebate. $40 each! Unbelievable and one of the best improvements to our bedrooms. So much better than pedestal fans. I'll give you that they're fifty times more modern and aesthetically pleasing than the fan in this video, but to each their own!
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists That's awesome! Glad you found something so affordable & pleasing :) The ones I typically see in that price range, or less, are pretty flimsy & garish. With MDF blades that droop when the weather gets too humid!
@@droolbunnyxo9565 Yes, the blades are MDF I believe. I'd say indoors the highest humidity we see in the summer is between 50%-55%. I know what you're saying though. Seen plenty of pictures of flooded houses and the fan blades looked like wilted flowers.
Any idea what angle your ceiling is or what angle that ceiling fan will accommodate? Your ceiling looks even steeper than mine but for some reason can’t get the down rod to come straight down
I love your channel. I am trying to get into the handyman businesses. My question is have you ever hung a ceiling fan in between engineered floor joists (Wooden I beam).
Question, if the fan doesn't turn and I'm not getting power at the switch on the fan, but it randomly turns on every once in a while, does that mean i have a loose connection at the ceiling?
I don’t need a new flashlight but with a company donating % of sales, SALES not profit, is fricking amazing! That is a stand up sponsor in my book! Stay safe out there
I have some ceiling fans and i think the direction doesn't matter for efficiency. But for comfort, i prefer to push the air up to avoid having the air flow directly on me. The air come back down on the sides of the room in a more uniform way.
In my house we have 2 floors and a ceiling fan in the stairwell. We're also situated on a hill that gets a good amount of high pressure wind swooping down it so when the front door and the back sliding door are open. All that hot air flows out and keeps the main floor cool. I've noticed it depends on day and night in the summer but typically I have it blowing down at night to pull outside air in through the bedroom windows and down to the main floor. During the day I have it pulling air up to keep the main floor extra cool and push air out the bedroom windows. In the winter, it's Canada, have you lost your god damn mind, turn off that fan lol.
It doesn't matter which way it is turning. It will move the air either way. We have a 20 ft ceiling and the fan is hanging 4 ft from the ceiling. After changing the burnt out light bulbs a couple of times, I decided to get a fan with a LED light, because they will last for 50,000 hours and I will never have to change the bulb again. About a year later and probably less than 100 hours later the light quit working. This fan also came with a remote to turn on the light and change the speed of the fan, but you still have to flip the switch to change rotation. So now I have a ceiling fan that only goes one direction and no light.
Turn it on, if it is blowing up then turn it off, let it stop and put the switch on the side on the opposite direction. If it still blows up, get a new fan?
*WOW* !!!!!!!!! *I had one of these ceiling fans in my townhouse* !!!!! *Those evil LED lights made The Handyman collapse* !!!!!!!! *LOL* !!!!!! *Thanks for all of the FAB content* !!!!!!!!! #TheHandyman
damn you...I have an uncontrolled addiction to flashlights. must be from that encounter with the bogey man at 6 years old. another great video with superior whistleing.
i could never figure out which way pulls and which way pushes. i just google which one i want and see if it is clockwise or counter clockwise when i am looking up at it, lol
Ceiling fans cool people not places, use during the summer when in the room to save on AC. But some people like the air movement, to each there own, just don't buy an energy hog fan. Use LED Filament bulbs, at whatever color temperature you like. The frosted Philips glass LED Filament bulbs are 7W 800lumen and work well.
Thank you! Fans cool people! I had a science teacher tell my class this in grade school and never forgot it. Ceiling fans do nothing when you’re not in the room.
Handyman down! Over exposure to LED lights lol Fans should always be as follows. Summer - counterclockwise push air down Winter - clockwise low speed push air upward
I was going to guess that direction simply doesn’t matter, because the purpose is to move and blend air. But after (the handyman. I wish he’d give us at least a first name) I’d have to agree, that downward flow has a cooling effect. I’m going to give a guess that the charge to customer would be at $300.00 going by what he charges.

25 years are you 45 years old? Or do you dye your hair.You are so awesome!!God has given you so much talents.Do you do dishes? Do you cook?What are your hobbies?I switch them back and forth depending on my mood.
MOOOOOOOOOO! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MOO MOO MOO.....The Cow Broke the internet first....remember that...cool episode if blowing down, hot if blowing up....got it
Say that faux fireplace sure looks familiar, whoever built that did a good job. That multi-light ceiling fan is so 15 years ago... either go with no light or single LED, they installed something that looks like it needs to be removed!

Were you social distancing???

It is all about where you want to move the air. You gotta make informed decisions.
Can’t wait to see more of the MASSIVE kitchen remodel haha great video!
haha love it how youre just casually whistling while at the very top of a tall ladder with no brace lol.
Whoever scraped that ceiling did a great job.
That is one smooth ceiling!

Have you done vid on building laying out interior stair case?
I love your channel. I am trying to get into the handyman businesses. My question is have you ever hung a ceiling fan in between engineered floor joists (Wooden I beam).
I have vaulted ceiling fans & my vents are up high not low by the floor. They are angled downward, which way should my fan go in the summer.
Question, if the fan doesn't turn and I'm not getting power at the switch on the fan, but it randomly turns on every once in a while, does that mean i have a loose connection at the ceiling?
I don’t need a new flashlight but with a company donating % of sales, SALES not profit, is fricking amazing! That is a stand up sponsor in my book!
Stay safe out there
I agree. Went to purchase, but sold out of both. I'd say the sale was successful and support going where it's needed.
I have some ceiling fans and i think the direction doesn't matter for efficiency. But for comfort, i prefer to push the air up to avoid having the air flow directly on me. The air come back down on the sides of the room in a more uniform way.
I got a house with a ceiling fan and long down rod, I plan on replacing the ceiling fan. Do I have to replace the down rod also?
do you have a bracket in the ceiling? can you install the fan without that bracket?
It spins in the direction the wife wants it to. PERIOD!
Hello, how high were the ceilings and how tall is your ladder? Thanks.
Hot air goes up in the winter so the fan should be pushing the air up. Change it in the summer.
In my house we have 2 floors and a ceiling fan in the stairwell. We're also situated on a hill that gets a good amount of high pressure wind swooping down it so when the front door and the back sliding door are open. All that hot air flows out and keeps the main floor cool.

I'm not falling for this again!
It doesn't matter which way it is turning. It will move the air either way. We have a 20 ft ceiling and the fan is hanging 4 ft from the ceiling.

Is that ceiling more than 34 degree slope? It looks like mine; trying to figure out what kit I need
Great video. What type of ladder are you using?
Turn it on, if it is blowing up then turn it off, let it stop and put the switch on the side on the opposite direction. If it still blows up, get a new fan?
Which way should it spin...? I solved the problem by letting the fan blades stay still while my entire house spins around instead.
Can I install new ceiling fan onto existing downrod? I also have vaulted ceiling and I don't want to use new rod. Please, advice, anyone!?
Wow Pa, that tip!!! 🍄
Directions? I tried to read those once but wasn't able to since I don't know French Spanish or bat soup
Well I guess the fan has to spin both ways to be politically correct, doesn't it?
*WOW* !!!!!!!!! *I had one of these ceiling fans in my townhouse* !!!!! *Those evil LED lights made The Handyman collapse* !!!!!!!! *LOL* !!!!!! *Thanks for all of the FAB content* !!!!!!!!! #TheHandyman
Yeah, that is why i'd be sticking to CFL or Incandescent
Wouldnt it be easier to install the blades while on thr ground?
damn you...I have an uncontrolled addiction to flashlights. must be from that encounter with the bogey man at 6 years old. another great video with superior whistleing.
The direction depends on what the customer wants it to be.
Not my call.
??? In the winter you want the hot air down and to distribute it evenly.
@@TheHandyman1 completely agree. Winter draw are up since heat rises
Summer draw air down.
the customer is always right, even the dunderheads
HM. Can you provide a link to order that ladder?
Instagram fist-fights are the best!😂
What are you attempting to do, push airflow down or draw airflow up? Which ever you decide dictates the direction the fan spins.
You completely missed the point. Did you watch the video?
What size ladder is it
How tall is your ceiling
??
Don't they have reversing switches anyway? Didn't watch video.. but
i could never figure out which way pulls and which way pushes. i just google which one i want and see if it is clockwise or counter clockwise when i am looking up at it, lol

Thank you! Fans cool people! I had a science teacher tell my class this in grade school and never forgot it. Ceiling fans do nothing when you’re not in the room.
That fan would look soooo much better with a couple.coats of your pro handyman super enamel... maybe with “cabinet blue” blades.
i like this ceiling fan on a high ceiling
How long is your down rod?
Don’t forget kiddos, you want zero Ugga Dugga’s when attaching the brackets to the blades.
I prefer to have a even mix of airflow by setting my fan to blow sideways.
The only question we want The Handyman to answer is, did Carol Baskin killed her husband?
Oh she killed him and fed him to tigers.
I would like you to bid on replacing my wood so fits... and a couple other odd jobs.
Agree with you I’ve been arguing with my nephew for years. He still won’t come to my senses
Handyman down! Over exposure to LED lights lol
Fans should always be as follows.
Summer - counterclockwise push air down

You should check out my business UA-cam channel. The Handyman Business
You owe me a pupil dilation after that o light commercial.
25 years are you 45 years old? Or do you dye your hair.You are so awesome!!God has given you so much talents.Do you do dishes? Do you cook?What are your hobbies?I switch them back and forth depending on my mood.
I'm 43. I got my first job as an electrician at 18 after I graduated high school. I don't have to die my hair lol. I have very little gray.
I know I’m late to the party but I’d think it doesn’t matter as long as the fan is capable of circulating the air in the room.
Hampton bay Glendale fan that is a great fan
MOOOOOOOOOO! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MOO MOO MOO.....The Cow Broke the internet first....remember that...cool episode if blowing down, hot if blowing up....got it
Hampton bay Glendale ceiling fan
People on tik tok were fighting over the direction of ceiling fan lmao
So simple a caveman can do it
( genuine question ) are you supposed to leave that paper divider in the light kit with the wires?
On this one it was plastic. Most of the time that divider doesn't fit.
Thanks Handyman!
Lol! RIP... 👍
I no longer fool with wonky ceiling fans - I hire cheap slave labor to cool me with palm fronds. 😑🌿
Regardless of the direction those blades spin, that fan is still ugly. Yeesh.
Well, the white carpet, stained baseboards and brass fixtures are probably a good indication that the customers still use a landline and a phone book.
ceiling fans spin clockwise and counterclockwise. Not a trick question!
You didnt show the most important parts..if you couldnt do the video..should have waited till you had proper battery charge and proper camera mounts
Say that faux fireplace sure looks familiar, whoever built that did a good job. That multi-light ceiling fan is so 15 years ago... either go with no light or single LED, they installed something that looks like it needs to be removed!
Quit twisting my arm! I’ll order a light!😃
There is another flash sale at the end of the month.
first
3rd
the yellow light (warm) is the only acceptable light.
Sold out before 10 am eastern. (Both lights.
That was fast. I will let you now when the next sale is the day before.
@@TheHandyman1 awesome.
I heard LED's light bulbs will get your teenage daughter pregnant....😮😯
Just hate LEDs.....they annoying, like me 🙃
I'm too poor to have a ceiling fan so I don't know or care.
Dude! I can't buy anything they are ALL GONE even ones claiming to have stock GONZO!!
