re: How many of y’all nerds have your ceiling fans spinning the wrong way?

Are you trying to get to "Counterclockwise when looking down at it", or up at it? Please be specific. It matters.

If the high edge of the blade is in the lead, when spinning, the wind will blow down. If the low edge is in the lead, when spinning, it will suck the air up and push it toward the walls, then down.

I never switch mine because I never have needed to circulate my hot air in the winter.

I would be willing to bet most people have them spinning the correct way now that it is hot since that’s the default when buying them. In the winter, it’s probably a different story as few people will switch it for the updraft (even ones who know better).

That’s actually a really good point and I didn’t think about it. You’re right. Delete this shite

I was hitting the bottle last night, my bad

Umm… me??

It could be 35 degrees outside and I’m still gonna have the fans on with the indies open

Remember to dust the blades before switching the direction. That dust collection will fly everywhere.

Like I said.

I would not have a cheap arse reversible fan about the place...I buy the good ones which have remote control of the blade angle....reversing ceiling fans are for the poors...

Depends on if you're looking at the fan from underneath or if you have some kind of vaulted ceiling and you're looking at it from the top which is opposite. Looking at it from underneath it's supposed to be going counterclockwise....it's going clockwise if you're looking from the top!

I was outside smoking a blunt at work and someone left a note with this same exact question.
