That s a significant savings.
Ceiling fan circulate heat winter.
By simply adjusting your ceiling fan direction you can warm your home in those frigid winter months.
Ceiling fans help circulate cool air and cut energy costs during the summer but they are also helpful during winter months.
This guide will teach you how to select the correct ceiling fan direction in winter and summer alike.
Likewise those with heat sources that do not circulate the air will feel warmer in the colder spots of the room.
If the air near the ceiling in winter isn t appreciably warmer than the air at the floor running ceiling fans won t help.
Those with high or vaulted ceilings will see a great temperature difference with the extra heat circulation a ceiling fan can provide.
Otherwise you re just using electricity and the fan motor puts out heat.
This redistributes the heated air and thus warms the entire room.
This helps redistribute the heat that rises to the second floor back down to the first floor.
Some studies have shown that simply reversing your ceiling fan in the winter can lower heating costs by as much as 15.
There are many reasons to make good use of your ceiling fan during the winter months.
On the correct winter setting the fan should push air up and draw that hot air down the side walls of the room.
By reversing your ceiling fan to blow air up this warm air is redistributed throughout the room.
Depending on your heating system and ceiling height you may or may not have much stratification of the air in the winter.
