Ready for take off

Today, I attempted a DIY home improvement project: installing a ceiling fan. After hours of sweat and frustration, I managed to hang it up, only to realize I'd installed it upside down. Now, instead of cooling, the fan blades are dangerously close to becoming an unconventional chandelier-slash-helicopter. At least I can say my home decor is truly "uplifting." FML

There's a switch to change the direction. The blades of a ceiling fan are too small and spin too slowly to generate a meaningful vertical force.

Agree with the other that the direction is reversible with a switch on the fan. No way you installed the whole fan upside down - one side has wires and attachment points for the ceiling and the other is decorative. Did you maybe install the fan blades upside down on the fan? Still seems really difficult to do as most fans they would only for one way. Or maybe you mean a whole house fan. I did manage to install one of those upside down once. But then I just flipped in over instead of posting about it online.

I was assuming that they switched the negative and the positive which would switch the direction that it spins
