First, the size of the fan matters; typically, fans with a blade span of 29 to 36 inches are ideal for small rooms.

By switching the direction of the fan blades to rotate clockwise at a low speed, the fan can gently pull cool air up while pushing the warmer air that rises to the ceiling back down along the walls. This helps to maintain a more even temperature in the room, which can improve comfort and potentially reduce heating costs.
