It might be a good time to reverse your ceiling fans. They should spin clockwise in winter to pull cold air up from the floor, so it mixes with warmer air near the ceiling. But they should spin counter-clockwise in spring and summer to keep you cool.
The blades are tilted at an angle for a reason. They should spin clockwise in the winter to pull colder air up from the floor. That way it mixes with the warm air near the ceiling and keeps you warmer. In spring and summer, they should spin counter-clockwise to push the air down, so it blows on you and keeps you cool.
If you’ve never changed them before, there’s usually a black switch on the side of the fixture. Just clean the blades first, because they’re probably covered in dust, which will get EVERYWHERE.
Or, if you never changed them over for winter . . . congratulations, you’re already done.
