The pitch (angle) of the blades is not the important part. It's the rotation of the fan itself.
Clockwise in summer (blows air down), counter-clockwise in winter (pulls air up). |

According to the National Fan Institute, the fan should be operating in a counter clockwise direction in the summer on 90% of the fans sold in the United States. This direction will push the air "DOWN" creating a cooling effect. If you are not sure which way counter clockwise is, simply turn the fan on and see if it is blowing down on you. If not, reverse the direction and feel it again.

Well, let's think about this for a second....say it's summer, and it's hot outside and in the house....do you want to make it HOTTER in the house, or COOLER? |

counter clockwise is blowing it down. I always thought we wanted to suck the air upwards away from us in the summer.

To be honest, it all depends on the manufacturer of the fan. Some brands produce blade brackets angling one way, some angle them the other way. Again, it refers back to my post about depending on the rotation of the fan itself, rather than the angle of the blades.
I've installed tons of these things, and I've seen them both ways. |

Just like a regular fan would. In the winter, you want it to SUCK up thereby mixing the stratified air in your house. BLOW = SUMMER SUCK = WINTER
