TIL ceiling fans generally have a setting you're supposed to switch to make them blow down in the summer and up in the winter(twitter.com)

That way you get a draft to cool you off more in the summer and avoid such in the winter. I even noticed that switch before but never thought about what it might do…

Are you sure? It’s been a very common feature for a very long time.

I’ve never had a fan that didn’t have it. 2x $20 Walmart fans here. Regional/country thing?

Some have a third pull cord, others have a toggle switch between the light and fan, but there are some that just don’t have reverse at all.
