Cold Weather Minute: Reverse the Spin to Save Energy and Money
February 23, 2010
Ceiling fans are great for keeping cool in summer but they are also useful during colder months. Most fans come with a tiny switch that sets the paddle direction. In summer this should be set so the lower part of the paddle goes first around the fan. This draws air up. In winter, flip the switch so the fan pushes warm air down. This helps keep living spaces comfortable and will help take a load off of the furnace. For more information about using energy safely and wisely, visit www.ColumbiaGasPa.com.
