this will depend on the location,and just what you want it to do. there are good reasons for having it going either way, depending on the exact situation of it's use. it it is very close to the ceiling, within a couple feet, you might want it pulling the air up, and then spreading the cooler air along the ceiling, forcing the warmer air down, similarly you might want it to bring the warmer air already near the ceiling down. if it is a distance from the ceiling, you want it pulling the warm air down. say for instance fans that have a long mounting pole where there are cathedral ceilings. if you have two in one room have one going one direction and vice versa.

Since heat rises....I put my ceiling fans on "up" in the summer to keep all the heat near the ceiling (it also pulls the fresh air in from outside), and down in the winter to pull the heat AWAY from the ceiling to warm the room up.

In the summer the fan needs to spin, but in the winter you can make them flap up and down, rather then rotating action. There should be a button for it on the fan. The symbol next to a button is a snowflake, usually.

Why would you want a ceiling fan creating a draught in the winter.
Blooming freezing here in the UK, I can't imagine turning a ceiling fan on right now.

Since Heat Rises the fan should go in the counter direction from normal usage in summer. this will blow the heat back down to the rooms usage area.

It depends which way the blades are tilted. In summer it wants to blow air down and in winter it wants to go the other way so as to draw the warm air up.

Unless you have a Reverse switch for the fan, it willl only go the way the manufactor set it for.
