Did you know that ceiling fans have a switch that changes the direction of the blades? And by changing the direction, you can either help cool or heat the room? TikToker Anthony Bertoncin didn't. "Today, I finally realized that my ceiling fan has been making my room a sauna for six years," he shared in a TikTok video:
