Which rotation do you turn a ceiling fan to bring cool air from 1st floor to 2nd floor?
It depends on the pitch of the blades.
How much energy do ceiling fans use?
A ceiling fan is a common house appliance which is attached to the ceiling and uses an electric motor to rotate blades or paddles in a circular motion. Ceiling fans help cool a room by moving air which causes evaporative cooling. Fans range in size from 36 inches to 56 inches using 55 to 100 watts, a typical 48 inch ceiling fan will use 75 watts.
Which cools the air faster a ceiling fan or a air conditioner?
Air conditioner. A fan doesn't actually cool the air - it simply circulates it.
Why do you put air conditioners near the ceiling?
Not all AC's are in or near the ceiling. Many go in windows and there are a number of portable units. But the principle is, heat rises, cool air falls. So the higher the cool air starts to fall is, the more warm air it cools on the way down.
What is the difference between a ceiling fan and a table fan?
Ceiling fans should be equipped with a reversing switch to operate in a forward or reverse rotation. The ceiling fan should move the air down in the summer time and draw the air up in the winter time. The rotation of the table fan is governed by the manufacturer of the blades. These blades are contracted out and bought from a different company and the fan manufacturer will buy the cheapest ones possible. The manufacturer of the fan doesn't care what pitch blade they use, as they have the ability to run the motor in either direction depending on the blade pitch.

Which direction is a ceiling fan supposed to go in the summer clockwise or counter clockwise?
Depends on how the blades are angled. In winter, you want it to blow the warm air off the ceiling, to the floor. In summer, you want it to pull the cool air upwards.
Which direction should the ceiling fan go in the winter?
In winter, fan should blow down,heat rises,get it back. In summer ,fan should blow up for a 2 story vaulted ceiling,to circulate air but not blow down hot air.On a one story in summer it can blow either,but it's a prefference.Up is ok,but down you get a lower cool index feeling.
Is there something that I can buy that I can attach to my air conditioner that will point the air flow up towards the ceiling?
You will have to point your A/C blades towards the ceiling. Nothing else can be done in this regard.
If you have a HOT fireplace room in your house which direction should ceiling fan blades turn to push the heat into OTHER rooms?
You will likely find that a ceiling fan will not satisfactorily circulate air between rooms. However, you will find that setting the fan rotation to circulate air from the ceiling to the floor will maintain a more even room temperature since hot air rises.Some people prefer to set their fans so it pulls the air from the floor to the ceiling if the draft from the fan is uncomfortable.
Why is the air temperature near the ceiling of a room tends to be warmer than near th floor?
The hot air is lighter than the cool air so it floats to the ceiling.:)
Is using ceiling fans and the air conditioner at the same time?
Our air conditoiner is being installed as we speak. Can I shower and turn on the ceiling fan?
Should a ceiling fan turn clockwise or counter clockwise in the summer?
It depends on the pitch (angle) of the blades. On most, it's counter-clockwise. Counterclockwise in the summer for cooling and clockwise in the winter for dispersing warm air.

Should home air conditioning vents blow the air up or down?
Up, do the fact that warm air rises and cold air will fall. So, force the colder air up and it will cool the whole area. --------------------------------------------------- Trinity Alex: Actually, it depends on a lot of things... like how big is the room, ceiling height, air conditioner cooling power... room sealing... If the cool air is blown upwards, yes, you will cool the room pretty uniformly - but you will not "feel" the cool the air as fast as if the cool air was blown downwards - (simply because we occupy the space from the floor up, and not from the ceiling down) - scientific explanation: the cold air from the AC reaches the ceiling, now it will cool the very hot air that resides there, only after a considerable amount of time will the ceiling air be cool enough that it will actually drop down [and it will drop down gradually, firstly cooling for example the first feet from the ceiling, then the next, and so on]. Also if you blow the cool air downward, you can leave the hot air that resides towards the ceiling undisturbed because there is no reason to cool the air from the ceiling; if cool air is blown downwards, you will be able to cool a larger area. I also have a mobile AC unit, that has adjustable vents - after a lot of calculations (but mostly -personal- empirical data) - I have concluded that its best to cool the air at which your head is (this is always true, no matter the ceiling height, room space, room sealing or the air conditioner's cooling power). * because of my mobile AC's hot air duct, I can't close my window properly - and I can tell you 100% that it's a bad idea to set the vents to blow the air upwards. (and no, I will not cut a hole through the glass, it's not my house). Trinity Alex -----------------------------------------
