Switch Ceiling Fan Direction

When the weather gets cooler, flip your ceiling fans' reverse switches so that the fans move in a clockwise direction. This creates an updraft that pushes the warm air that rises toward the ceiling back down into the room. This means you may be able to turn down the thermostat and save on heating bills.
