HOW CEILING FANS WORK
First, a confession: Fans don’t cool air; they just move it
around.
When it’s warm, the blades of a counterclockwise-turning
ceiling fan push air downward. Like a breeze on a summer day, this moving air
makes you feel cooler by evaporating the moisture on your skin. This wind-chill
effect can cause an 80-degree room to feel more like it’s 72 degrees. For this
reason, there is no need to run a ceiling fan when no one is in the room.
Something else: Most people don’t think to turn on a ceiling
fan when it’s cold inside, but this can actually warm up a room. Modern Fans
have reversible motors, which means blades can easily change direction
(clockwise) and push air up toward the ceiling. This redistributes the warm air
that would otherwise be trapped near the ceiling and evens out the temperature
in the room. Circulating the warm air also reduces condensation on windows.
Bottom line: Modern fans use very little electricity to increase
the efficiency of heating and cooling systems.
