If anyone else is wondering whether their ceiling fan is set for summer or winter, it is clockwise for winter, anti-clockwise for summer.

Clockwise looking from top or underneath?

From where you look at it.

What the heck does a clockwise ceiling fan in winter accomplish?

It lifts warm air up and spreads it around the room, lifting some of the burden from your heater

have you been circulating hot air around your room during the summer

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago
