    Should I leave a ceiling fan on during winter
    During the winter months should I leave the ceiling fan on 24 hrs or should I just run it during the day while the room is being used.

    The positive attributes of the ceiling fan will not be enjoyed since the room is empty so no need to leave it run under most circumstances.
