UP cause heat rises and when the fan blow up it will then make the warm air come down it the law of gravitation,every thing that goes up must come down. Good luck

In the winter you ALWAYS have the fan turning in the direction that pulls the air upward. It pulls the cold air from the floor up and drives the hot air from the ceiling downward. Check this sight out: http://housewares.about.com/od/coolingheating/f/ceilfanrotation.htm
here is a copy of some information from the web page: During winter heating, to help circulate warm air that is trapped on the ceiling, blades should turn 'forward' in a clockwise motion. This movement will pull up and push the warm air down the sides of the room improving heat distribution.
During hot summer weather, to help produce a cooling breeze or 'windchill' that cools the skin, blades should rotate in a 'reverse' counter-clockwise motion.
