This Is How Switching Your Fan Switch Saves Heat In The Winter

From Jacob Heating and Air Conditioning:

When set for summer, your fan will spin clockwise, sending air down to cool the room.

"In the heating mode, however, the blades push air up, helping the fan to better distribute heat. Here’s how:

• As the blades move, they draw in air from around the room and push it up toward the ceiling.
• The force of the air pushes the air at the top of the room toward the walls, at the outer edges.
• Then, the air moves back down to the ground.
• Since air at the top of a room is warmer, the entire room starts to feel warmer as the air is pushed back down to the bottom of the room."

Different sites on line said it will save you 10-15% on your heating bill.
