Did you know that most ceiling fans have 2 directions? 1 direction is for blowing air down (usually counterclockwise, depends on the blade pitch), and another is for blowing air up. In summer, it is recommended that you have the fan blowing air down to cool people off to save AC bills. In winter, it is recommended that you have the fan blowing air up to circulate the air without cooling the room. You can have the fan on low if the ceiling is low enough, or medium or high if it's higher. Most fans have a switch on the switch housing to change the direction. Some (usually outdoors) use the pull chain to change the direction. Note that the fans outdoor will not circulate the air, and that's why some outdoor fans like Craftmade are non-reversible.
