Here's a sure fire test if you have some disease and you can't feel wind on your skin.

 

1. Grab a big handful of flour.

2. Walk to ceiling fan.

3. Turn fan on high.

4. Throw flour into fan.

5. Continue to stare into fan.

6. If you suddenly see white and/or are blinded, your fan is blowing down. Congratulations!

7. If not, activate the small switch on the side of your ceiling fan and repeat steps 1-6.

Here is a different way to look at it, this is what i do at my place with good results.

 

Summer-you want to draw the cool air up from lower levels, or the ground area, ac floor vents etc. so i have mine going counter clockwise as you are looking up at them. you wont feel a breeze, however the real reason you are doing it is to bring cooler air up and spread it to the rooms.

 

Winter-you want to push cooler air down. so i have mine going clockwise as you are looking up at them. you will feel a breeze, but it will keep your cool rooms warmer.

 

remember warm air rises, cooler air sinks!
