Why Clockwise-Spinning Blades Keep You Warm
In the most basic terms, the purpose of ceiling fans is to move air within a room. Hot air naturally rises, which means that when you run your heater during the winter, all that warm air will automatically move towards the ceiling. The shape and angle of the blades are designed to push heated air out to the walls and back down toward the ground when the blades spin clockwise. This helps to make the entire room feel warmer, in turn keeping you and your family comfortable and cozy.How Your Ceiling Fan Can Improve Your Energy Efficiency
When a cold front hits, it can be tempting to run your heater non-stop to stay warm. In fact, keeping your home warm is crucial to your overall health and safety. But, you can get more out of your heating system when you use your ceiling fan to trap heated air lower to the ground. Some of the benefits of switching your ceiling fan to spin in a clockwise direction during the winter include:- Up to 15% savings on heating costs
- Warmer-feeling rooms, leading to less heater usage
- Improved indoor comfort and safety
- Reduced need to use electric blankets/space heaters
