When we moved here, we bought a load of pedestal fans. Over the years, I have gradually replaced them with wall mounted fans. The reason is simple, pedestal fans tend to get in the way. I've noticed over the years that there are 2 types of wall fan. Right or left handed, although when you buy them you don't know which version you are buying.
Until yesterday, we have been very lucky regarding the direction they blow. Our bedroom fan started sounding like a machine gun a few weeks ago. We took it to the repair man who fixed it. 2 nights ago, our bedroom sounded like a war zone again, and we had to resort to aircon

These are throw away items, so I went down to HomePro and replaced it with a new fan, like for like. We got home, put it together and mounted it. Our old fan was left hand and blew over our bed beautifully. The replacement fan is right hand and blows over our legs, and everything to the right of us.
When you look at the old and new fans they are identical in every way, except the way they blow. My question is, "Can wall fans be switched from right to left hand blow?"
