Ceiling fans are great for keeping cool indoors in summer. You may not know, however, that they're also handy to warm your home in winter.
In a TikTok, Tony Green (@tonygreenrealtor) talked about how to set your fan and home up for success while it's cold.

When the weather gets frigid, your fan should spin clockwise on a low setting. That way, it sends warm air down from the ceiling and keeps you toasty.
As Tony also demonstrated, it's important to keep your fan blades clean. Removing dust regularly keeps your air fresh and helps your fan run efficiently.
