Do you mean a paddle fan, exhaust fan, or a whole house fan?

To get definitive help, more information is required. A simple, possibly non-applicable answer is that connection to ONE of TWO EXISTING windings needs to be reversed.

** Think laterally ....

Reverse the pitch of the blades.

Also, do not ALL ceiling fans work in both directions out of the box?

They are usually through-shaft motors, so if the shaft diameters are the same and their lengths are the same, he could just flip the motor too. :-)

Most ceiling fans have switches that allow you to change the direction.

Remove the wiring plate on the motor and there will be two leads that have to come off and be swapped. (Not the power leads.)
