 anyone know what I should be looking for? are fans even rated by speed or air movement or something?

You might want to try checking out this site:  http://www.ceiling-fan-wizard.com/   They go over the stuff you want to take into consideration and give people a chance to review the stuff that actually matters.  We're looking into putting on in too.  Hopefully it will get to happen soon.

Ps.  Nice mud-bath on the truck.  (o:

Im sure most people a/c vents are in the ceiling, not the floor.

Actually my a/c vent is in my lone window-unit. But I do have 2 ceiling fans AND hot & cold running water!

I don't know where you live, but every house I have ever owned or even visited uses the heat duct below the floor to route air conditioning. It would make sense to have air ducts in the ceiling for a/s, but it would never work as a common heat duct. Also, it would double the cost of the ductwork.

no a/c in my house and the ceilings are 2,5 inch tounge and groove pine, with shingles on the outside and inside of house on the other. no insulation.  my only option to get heat back down to floor is ceiling fans.  I will not walk around with stilts on all winter.  to give you all a little back ground, I was changing a light bult last winter in the peak and started immediatly sweating, it was like 90 degrees in the peak and 64 at floor level. so I gotta fix before fuel oil gets too expensive and I have to wear coat 27/7.

its bow season, my neck has swelled up and I keep kicking up carpet and leaving my scent.

Mason and Kimi   I just dont know what to tell you two.  One says Bronco one says truck ,

a Bronco is designed to get stuck and that gives jeeps a purpose.  and when they break down, you can tie them to a jeep bumper to get them home. See Like this.....

A truck is designed to move hay or drunk buddies to the upper feilds.  trucks are too light in the back end to be good for off road, and their 4wd is weak.  and if you want to make one really useless and wimpy looking, lower it.

Jeep has it roots in doing just what you see in the picture,

same duct for a/c -n- heat, vents in ceiling. ac/furnace in attic, cond unit outside. Ms. a/c -n- fans a must 24/7. no under the house, slabs, basements are rare in the south, to much clay and ground shift i guess.
dont believe everything you read? every manf. of every fan out there has it wrong?

I don't claim to be an expert, but I think the issue here does have a lot to do with vent location.  My circumstances involve vents that are almost all located right smack above the edge of every fan in the house (yes, bedrooms too guys).  Fans are a must in SE Texas just like they are in MS.  Summer or winter, if I reverse my fans I really disrupt my system's ability to move are at all.  If that were not the case, however, I would absolutely have mine reversed year-round (except maybe during the 2 or so months out of the year in which I can actually stand to do without A/C or heat.  As for the instructions that come with the fans, I've never believed everything written in China and translated into 14 different languages by a computer.

Sorry Poke, I just always call things that are big trucks, even Dave's Forrester is a truck.  It solves the who problem of "which are we taking, car or the truck?"   No matter how many times I change vehicles, or what I own, mine is always the car and boy's drive trucks.  Make more sense?

Kimi.....I understand your logic, but a Jeep is a Jeep.........I had a Jeep Wrangler and had to trade mine off for a Grandma wagon........ My husband called it my "motorcycle on four wheels", but my Jeep could go places where no other vehicle (that can be driven on the street also) dared to go...... .

BTW, my husband was saying last night, that he wished we still had the four wheel motorcycle......I have a 4X4 station wagon...(SUV) now, but it is no where close............

I had a Jeep Wrangler and had to trade mine off for a Grandma wagon

Way back in my younger days, I used to hang out with a group called the "Mud Mushers."  Their world revolved around making holes bigger (deeper, longer) and who could get up the hill fastest.  I'd post pictures from back then but haven't gotten them from the other house yet.   

I fully do understand the difference and insult it could be taken as to call a Jeep a truck.  None was intended by the label substitution.   

Sooooo, how is the weather out there?

Here in KY, and all of the midwest as well as most of the north, houses are built with ductwork in the floors for both a/c and heat whether it's on a crawl space or basement. There are some built flat on slabs, and these have ductwork in the ceiling, but if I was in northern IL or WI I would not want my heat distribution in the ceiling, I don't want to freeze.  You say that in Ms and so on they are in the ceiling. These two differences alone describe why you can't rely on what some ad agency put on a DIY box as a generic guide fan direction.  To do this correctly you must some analysis of your personal situation , and not just blindly follow some user's guide. To make it even simpler, since the fans come with a reversing switch and  it's easy to change fan direction, TRY it both ways to see what works for your particular situation. I promise you that the fan police will not come to your home and confiscate your fan because you are abusing it.
