which way fan in summer

In the summer, a ceiling fan should spin counterclockwise. This direction creates a cool breeze by pushing air downwards, which produces a wind chill effect on the skin, making the room feel cooler without lowering the actual temperature. This can help reduce reliance on air conditioning and save energy costs. To check if the fan is spinning the correct way, stand beneath it—if you feel a cool breeze, the fan is set right; if not, you can usually flip a switch on the fan motor to change its direction. Always ensure the fan is off and stopped before switching direction.
