An easy and efficient way to save on heating and cooling costs is by making use of your ceiling fans to help circulate the air in your house. To save on heating costs in the winter, be sure the fan is turning in a clockwise direction to help push rising heat down. Be sure to reverse the fan back to counter-clockwise in the summer months to cool the rooms.
