Summer's here, and temperatures are soaring! You're cranking up the AC, but are you getting the most out of it? Don't overlook a simple yet effective way to cool down: your ceiling fan. But here's the catch – its direction matters!
For optimal summer cooling, your ceiling fan should be spinning counter-clockwise when you're looking up at it. This forces air downwards, creating a refreshing breeze that helps evaporate sweat and makes you feel cooler. It's like a personal wind chill effect!
Not sure which way it's spinning? Stand directly under the fan and observe the blades. If they're angled upwards as they come towards you, it's spinning the right way. If not, simply locate the direction switch on the fan motor and flip it.
Using your ceiling fan in the right direction can help you lower your thermostat a few degrees, saving energy and money without sacrificing comfort. So, before you crank up the AC even higher, make sure your ceiling fan is working for you, not against you. Stay cool!
