 You really want to take advantage of that. The ceiling fan direction in summer should be counterclockwise. This creates a downdraft, which creates a direct cooling breeze. Now, in winter, the fan needs to be clockwise, and that creates an updraft and circulates warm air around the room. Now, if you're looking for that switch to do that, it's usually a little switch, sort of like a sliding switch on the side of the motor. So find it and switch it so it should be counterclockwise in summer and clockwise in the winter.
