This is the direction and use for ceiling fans that most people are familiar with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, if your fan is able to run in both directions, it can <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fans-useful-winter\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16186\">benefit you in colder weather too<\/a> by increasing your comfort;

Spring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we really get into what direction your ceiling fan should be turning, I&rsquo;d like to take this opportunity to say that changing your fan&rsquo;s direction is a great opportunity to perform other <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fans-require-maintenance\/\">maintenance on your fan<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it&rsquo;s generally recommended to clean the dust off of your fans at least once every other month, life can get in the way, and it can be hard to remember to clean something you don&rsquo;t really see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using this change of direction as a reminder, you can ensure your fan is well cleaned <em>at least<\/em> twice yearly. <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/lubricate-ceiling-fan-without-taking-it-down\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16507\">Some fan models also require oiling<\/a>, which may need doing once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Way Should Ceiling Fans Turn in Spring?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While I&rsquo;d like to give a specific answer for each season, the reality is that the climate and weather could be completely different from one place to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some places spring may be cool and rainy, while spring may as well be part of a long summer in other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, as a general recommendation,<strong> I would suggest setting your fan to turn counterclockwise, or to &ldquo;summer mode&rdquo;

As mentioned, climate can differ dramatically depending on where in the world you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that being the case, you may simply start paying more attention once spring rolls around, but only <em>actually<\/em> set your fan to spin counterclockwise once the temperature begins feeling warm throughout the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s get into <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fan-direction-summer-reason\/\">why you&rsquo;d want your fan to spin this way in warm weather<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reasons to Use Your Ceiling Fan in Spring<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While I mentioned that setting your fan to turn counterclockwise is preferred for spring (and summer, of course!) I didn&rsquo;t quite explain why that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary benefit of having your <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/which-way-counter-clockwise-ceiling-fan\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"17954\">fan spin in a counterclockwise direction<\/a> is that this creates a downdraft. In other words, air is pushed down past you so that you can feel it, and creates a wind chill effect that makes you feel cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wind chill effect causes you to feel cooler by pushing cooler air past your skin and also pulling away the heat that your body produces. It also helps sweat to evaporate faster, and sweating is our body&rsquo;s way of cooling us down naturally (evaporative cooling).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you should know that this means fans don&rsquo;t actually cool down a room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum it up, <strong>that&rsquo;s the most obvious benefit of running a fan&mdash;it makes you feel cooler!<\/strong> But what not everyone considers is that this can come with a secondary benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to spend most of your time in a room with a fan, you can set your thermostat several degrees higher than you normally would. <strong>Because the fan will help you feel cooler, you can save some extra money on your cooling.<\/strong> Some people save up to 40% on their AC costs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, this puts less strain on your AC, which should give it a longer lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Way Should Ceiling Fans Turn in Fall?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like when it comes to spring, there is not a definitive answer I can give everyone on which way their fan should turn in fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some parts of the world may experience very cool autumns, while others will continue to endure the heat of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general however, <strong>I would recommend setting your fan to turn clockwise (&ldquo;winter mode&rdquo;) in the fall, under the assumption that you are experiencing cooler weather.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time.jpg\" alt=\"Ceiling fan on clockwise during fall time\" class=\"wp-image-20071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Ceiling fan on clockwise during fall time\" class=\"wp-image-20071 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ceiling-fan-on-counterclockwise-during-fall-time.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, you may choose to base the timing of your fan&rsquo;s direction change on the actual temperature, not necessarily the start of the season. In that case, simply set your fan to turn clockwise once the weather begins feeling consistently cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s talk about why this is the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reasons to Use Your Ceiling Fan in Fall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When your fan turns clockwise, it does the exact opposite of what it does when it turns counterclockwise. In other words, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/which-way-clockwise-ceiling-fan\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"17589\">clockwise fan rotation<\/a> creates an <em>updraft<\/em> rather than a downdraft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This updraft pulls the cooler air near the floor up towards the ceiling, displacing the warm air that settles at higher elevations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This warm air is pushed down the sides of the walls as it is displaced so that it ends up at an elevation where you can actually feel it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, your fan doesn&rsquo;t actually change the room&rsquo;s temperature, regardless of direction. <strong>However, the fact that it can make the room <\/strong><strong><em>feel <\/em><\/strong><strong>warmer by redistributing the air is the primary reason for using your fan in cold weather.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like your ceiling fan can help you keep your AC costs down in summer, <strong>running your fan in a clockwise direction can allow you to keep your thermostat set a few degrees lower than you normally would once cold temperatures roll around.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can allow you to save money on heating, since you won&rsquo;t be sitting around in any cold pockets as long as your fan is running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/question22.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/question22.htm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobvila.com\/articles\/ceiling-fan-direction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.bobvila.com\/articles\/ceiling-fan-direction\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gohermitage.com\/blog\/counterclockwise-fan-direction-for-cool-summer-savings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.gohermitage.com\/blog\/counterclockwise-fan-direction-for-cool-summer-savings\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/c\/ah\/ceiling-fan-direction-in-summer-and-winter\/9ba683603be9fa5395fab9036ab25bf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/c\/ah\/ceiling-fan-direction-in-summer-and-winter\/9ba683603be9fa5395fab9036ab25bf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hunker.com\/13416378\/how-to-oil-a-ceiling-fan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.hunker.com\/13416378\/how-to-oil-a-ceiling-fan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hunterfan.com\/blogs\/hunter-blog\/ceiling-fan-direction-for-summer-and-winter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.hunterfan.com\/blogs\/hunter-blog\/ceiling-fan-direction-for-summer-and-winter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.modernfanoutlet.com\/blog\/happy-spring-2019-aka-ceiling-fan-season.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.modernfanoutlet.com\/blog\/happy-spring-2019-aka-ceiling-fan-season.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.powermoves.com\/2016\/07\/ceiling-fans-the-wind-chill-that-brings-down-your-power-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.powermoves.com\/2016\/07\/ceiling-fans-the-wind-chill-that-brings-down-your-power-bill\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sobieskiinc.com\/blog\/reverse-your-ceiling-fan-spring-comfort-and-savings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.sobieskiinc.com\/blog\/reverse-your-ceiling-fan-spring-comfort-and-savings\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many modern ceiling fans are capable of turning in both directions.
