My fiance and I are replacing an old Hampton Bay ceiling fan with a new ceiling fan- the fan is blowing air out but not down. We think the cause may be that we live in an attic apartment, and the low cathedral like ceiling is cutting off the air flow around the blades and down from the ceiling (in a downward motion) HOWEVER, the old Hampton Bay fan had the same wing span (44") and the same depth from the ceiling. we have no clue what's up.
Can you help us please??
Much appreciated!!
DId you check the capacitor, is that ok?

Theres a small toggle switch on the fan
that switch is to change direction on the way the fan is blowing
one direction for downward blowing
the other direction is for upward blowing
depends on the area you have to determine which is the best, but i doubt area restriction will hamper force air blowing, air will flow regardless, the area might be big so you dont feel it.
as being living in the attic, HOT AIR rises, so you might want to invest in some installation for the ceiling, because whent he sun hit the roof, it will create an oven effect, in your living area. the hot air is always present, you should have a ventilation fan blowing the hot air out, like thru a small window, the more hot air you blow out, the better.
not sure if this make sense. not sure how big the room is, as FANs are NOISY by nature.

Just to add: we tried the switch which moves the air up and the switch to move the air down initally. Our room is about 10' by 11' by 8' tall, tiny. Please also consider the pitch in the roof because it is an attic apartment....
if standing directly under the fan, there is no air movement.
hmmm...
ceiling fan wont blow air around
