In the winter as you heat your house, the hottest air rises to the ceiling. Ceiling fans are reversible so that you can push this warm air off of the ceiling in the winter. Of course, you will most likely want to run the fan on its lowest speed, since a draft from the fan can actually make you feel colder.
