Q. WHAT ARE SUMMER AND WINTER MODE?

SUMMER MODE: Pushes air down from the ceiling to create a wind-chill effect. Fans do not change the temperature in the room, they change the comfort level.

WINTER MODE: Pull air up to the fan and circulates it along the ceiling and down the walls to redistribute the warm air that hovers around the ceiling. When utilized regularly winter mode will allow for a savings in heating costs. You can control reversing from a reverse switch on the fan, the wall control, remote control, or the App.

Q. Will a wall control and a remote control work together on the same fan?
