what direction should fans go in the winter

In winter, set your ceiling fan to rotate clockwise at a low speed. This creates a gentle updraft that pushes warm air near the ceiling down along the walls and back into the living space, helping distribute heat more evenly and can reduce heating costs. If you have vaulted ceilings or a large room, keep the speed on the lower side to avoid a noticeable draft, and rely on your heater to maintain comfort.
