which way should a fan go in summer

In summer, a ceiling fan should spin counterclockwise. This direction creates a downdraft, pushing air straight down, which produces a cooling breeze and enhances the "wind chill" effect on your skin, helping you feel cooler. Standing directly under the fan, you should feel a noticeable breeze if it is spinning the correct way. This setup allows you to reduce air conditioning usage by making you feel cooler without lowering the thermostat temperature.
