Light It Up

During the warmer months, the fan should turn to the left and you should feel a cool breeze. On the other hand, during the cooler months, the fans should rotate clockwise, circulating hot air evenly throughout the room.  A ceiling fan will help reduce your heating bills during the hottest months.
