can the fan be reversed as far as the airflow goes?

The fan blows the air downward only; I love the fan and it has three speeds.

I can't see any way to reverse mine, and would be grateful if someone can tell me how to this. Having said that, mine operates blowing air down all the time, which I find works well in winter to bring warm air down, and creates a nice breeze in the summer. If you look at the blade shape, they really are designed to blow downwards so am doubtful how well they would reverse (if it was possible). Apart from this, I love the fan. It is very quiet, elegant, changes speed smoothly. Love it! (and if anyone can tell me how to reverse direction, please let me know how - I'm very curious).

I've tried both ways and in my setup, it was better to put upside down to blow directly on the warmest component. The fans move a lot of air. Try it one way and then another and compare what feels cooler. Even better if you can measure the temperature.

There is a switch either on the motor or the control to reverse the direction of the fan.

to be honest with you when it was installed by my electrician he adjusted it. If I am not wrong there should be a switch on the motor to reverse. You should try this and see or read the instructions details. Sorry cant be of more help. It is a great fan and reliable. Great BUY!!

installation instructions indicate the preferred method is with fan down, but if no vent in base/top of case, it can be inverted.

Hello! This fan is manually reversible with the switch near the top of the fan.

Joe, you can do it, but it will reduce the volume of air that it is pulling through. By reducing it may cause problems with the fan in the future.

Is it possible to reverse the fan? - I'm not an electronics expert but it might be possible. The only reason I can see that you would want to do this is to pull air "into" the existing exhaust and out the current "intake" making it pull hot air in from within a smaller area. There might be better products to do this.Slowing it down shouldn't take much more than putting in a resistor or two. But, again, I'm not an electronics expert, so that would take some research on how to accomplish this.

The feet have metal plates in them with pre-cut mounting 'key-holes' for screws (screws to be fixed to the wall at either studs or with anchors). The fan can be mounted in only one orientation (controls on the 'up-side') due to an automatic power cut-off. Therefore, check the direction you want airflow to go, then check to see if the fan as mounted will work in that direction. If not, the fan-blade housing will rotate 180 degrees to send air in the opposite direction, but would look (and would be) turned backwards.

Yes, it can be reversed (mine is reversed right now), but you have to do it on the fan. It cannot be done on the remote.

You can turn one fan around. You will not have success cooling an enclosure that way unless you create ducts both inside and outside. Otherwise you will just be circulation heat and wasting the energy used to run the fans. May even shorten the fan life with excess heat.

It does reverse but I would not waste your money on this fan. It turns VERY slowly and hardly circulates the air.

no. the fan pulls in from the ground and blows out the back. the psu is simply upside down.

No. You must use the switch on the fan body to reverse the fan. The switch only controls the speeds and light.

Hello. The reverse option on this ceiling fan is as simple as turning a switch on the motor. If you should have any further questions please feel free to reach us. Thank you.

I don't think so as there is no "reverse" switch on the fan. You can call Air King to see if they have a model with reversible direction blades. Good luck!
