15 Tips To Help Cool Your House This Summer + Lower Energy Cost

What happens here

Adjust your ceiling fans to rotate counter-clockwise for the summer. Ceiling fans typically have two directions: clockwise for an upward motion (which pulls warm air up in winter) and counter-clockwise for a downward pushing motion. Setting the fan to counter-clockwise will push cool air down from the top vents, helping to circulate cold air more efficiently throughout the room and reduce the workload on your HVAC system. Older fans usually have a physical switch on the unit to change direction, while newer models often have a button on a remote control.

Goal: Optimize ceiling fan rotation for summer cooling efficiency
