I want to circulate the warm air in my house to lower heating bills. I know nothing about specs for this type of fan. I know when I have tried to just put up my summer fan, it blows the air too much and makes it colder ?? What do I need to know and I need to spend the very least amount, can I actuallly use my summer fan but place it elsewhere, ? What speed, what specs do i need to know

Most ceiling fans will have a reverse switch on them. That's all you need to do, and turn it on low. It pulls the air from the room up to the ceiling (warm air rises) and down the walls.

The most economical method of circulating air is to simply run you existing furnace fan all the time. Does a great job and improves heating. If you have to spend money on a fan, the Hampton Line is made by Hunter and does a great job for less than $50.00.
Good luck.

Take a look at your fan, on the side should be a switch. Push the switch in th opposite direction and turn it on low. That should reverse your fan so it will circulate the warm air. If your fan doesn't have a switch, you'll need to get another fan with a reverse switch on it.

Going w/ cookiesm.
Casablanca fans are top shelf but, pricey.
The Hunters are very good I & use them summer and winter.
& leave them on almost constantly on low speed to prevent hot or cold spots .
The store brand & Hampton Bay models are ...poop.
No reason you cannot use a portable "summer" fan but may not need it.
Best regards

if you are wanting a brand name i would suggest hunter brand....i have found these to be the quietest and least likely to go off balance....they can be more expensive but are way worth it in the long run....as for kind of ceiling fan....all are designed to do the same thing and have a reverse switch on them to push air down or pull it up so that would be irrelevant

Ceiling fans have a switch on it. Have blades blowing air down in winter (heat travels up & want it returned downward) and have blades sucking air upward in summer (cold settles toward floor and want air brought upward).
Put it on low.

that's obtainable - fairly if the fan's blade rotation will be reversed. contained in the wintry climate, it will be significant to "push" or bypass the air downward as warmth air rises. contained in the summer season, the blades should be reversed as a thanks to pull warmth air more advantageous, far flung from the bodies contained in the room and let the cooler air to occupy the area the all of us is in!

For heating purposes run your fans in reverse.low speed is sufficient.
