So now I have to remember, look and sometimes study which onces are which and which ones need to be going wich direction...... it sucks!!!!!! But I'm to lazy to go change them..... it's easier to study and then flip a switch.... I keep thinking they'll burn up soon and I can replace them.....

Most my fans run 24/7 and when I switch from AC to heat or vice versa, then the fans get switched too.
Ofetn dont even have to use the heat, just turn the fans to push the heat off the cieling down.

Funny we just had this discusion last week at work.
Me too. With a 26' ceiling in the LR, switching the fans to move that heat down from up there is pretty nice, otherwise we're paying to heat space where no one hangs out!!

I wish I could hang out at the ceiling. Think of the possibilities with all that unused space!

22 for me.

You need sticky little feet like flies have, then you can hang out up there. Be a little hard to get your furniture to stick around though
