It's November. The official start of winter is 6 weeks away. For homeowners with ceiling fans, let this be a reminder to reverse your units' blade rotation.
Watch this 2-minute video for a hands-on demonstration of changing the direction of your ceiling fans, plus a clever test using ordinary tissue to see if you've done it properly.
In the cooler months, the blades of a ceiling fan should be set to rotate clockwise. It forces warm air at the top of a room to recirculate downward into the "living space". Proper blade rotation can change a room's "feel" by 8 degrees or more, allowing for more modest settings on a home thermostat.
