Which way should a ceiling fan turn in winter

In winter, a ceiling fan should turn in a clockwise direction. When the fan rotates clockwise, it creates a gentle updraft that redistributes warm air that naturally rises to the ceiling. This helps to push the warm air back down along the walls and into the living space, providing more even heating and increasing overall comfort. To ensure the fan is rotating in the correct direction, most ceiling fans have a switch on the motor housing that allows you to change the direction of rotation.
