I know in the winter you can use your ceiling fan to improve efficiency.

Ha ha! Can't say I've noticed anything from the ceiling fan, but sometimes when our Golden Retriever is wagging his tail beween tight spaces, like the wall and a box or the bathroom door, we hear beats that sound like different Who tunes! We've heard parts of Slip Kid, Squeeze Box and Love Reign O'er Me! I thought we were nuts. Well, maybe we are, but at least now I know we're not the only ones! Do you think Keith Moon is laughing at us?? But as to you, this just proves that you are not the only music fan in your house LOL!

6 of one and 1/2 dozen of the other really as long as the air is circulating. Most people set their fans to blow towards the ceiling as hot air rises and it is supposed to move the hot air down that way but I havent noticed a difference either way.

You want the air to be drawn up. (button up) I know this doesn't make logical sense but it's true. The air will continue in a circular flow (up in the center, down along the walls, back up in the center) and keep the whole room warmer. If you have the air blowing down on you, it will feel cooler in the room.
Check my source.

Counter clockwise
To pull the cold air from the floor upward and pushing the warm air downward.

Center air flow up. This pushes the warm air down at the perimeter.

you have to change the blades so the air is forced upward. that dives the cool air up, and the warmed air back down into the room without causing a direct wind

if you have a heater in your house....
hot air rises, and the fan pushes that hot air back down so that you can enjoy it on the floor. therefore, you dont have to heat the house as much, because you arent wasting heat on the ceiling.

Just spin it the way where the fans pull the air up. You can tell by just spinning it with your fingers which way is the correct way.

You want to have it blowing down, because hot air rises.
