Debunking a Common Heating Myth

One of the most persistent myths in home comfort is that running your ceiling fan during winter is counterproductive. At Heating & Cooling Two Inc., we regularly encounter homeowners who firmly believe this misconception, but it’s time to set the record straight.

Here’s the scientific truth: running your ceiling fan clockwise during winter can actually help reduce your heating costs by up to 15%.

How Does This Work?

When your ceiling fan rotates clockwise at a low speed, it creates an updraft that:

• Pushes warm air down from the ceiling
• Redistributes heated air throughout the room
• Maintains more consistent room temperatures
• Reduces the workload on your heating system

The Cost-Saving Benefits

By utilizing this simple technique, you can:

• Lower your thermostat by 2-3 degrees
• Reduce energy consumption
• Maintain the same comfort level
• Extend your heating system’s lifespan

Professional Tips for Maximum Efficiency

Remember these key points:

• Ensure your fan is set to low speed
• Confirm the clockwise rotation
• Only use fans in occupied rooms
• Combine with regular HVAC maintenance
