I have ceiling fans that I run (on slow) clockwise when it’s cold. I can clearly feel the mixing of upper level (warm) air into my environment which is comfortable but my wife thinks any moving air is cold air and hates it. I think I need to position multiple temp sensors at various heights and locations to prove my point but my concern is that if I have empirical evidence to back my supposition it will be poorly received because, of course, I’m over-thinking it. Thoughts?
Edit: after receiving the thoughts I requested I must say I agree with everyone and will simply pack my opinion away and mix a lovely beverage with some warming whiskey when we settle in tonight…of course, I’ll make two so we can enjoy together.
Edit edit: Sorry, but as I am a goober I had to gather data and I can unequivocally state that fan blowing up makes temp sensors warmer.
Before going down that road, ask yourself this: “How much do I really want to stay married, anyway?”
I used to have this same conversation multiple times through the years until I realized that ultimately, it wasnt really about being right. The wife was just uncomfortable, and was going to be uncomfortable whether I was “right” or not.
Now I mostly don’t worry about the fans, cause her comfort is more important.
