Big Industrial Ceiling Fans.

Q: How is an HVLS fan different from a regular fan?

HVLS fans are larger in size (typically 10–24 feet), operate at slower speeds, are quieter, more energy efficient, and are designed to cover large areas. Regular fans move fast air in a small area, while HVLS fans move slower air across a large area.

Q: How does a slow-moving fan move air effectively?

Because of its size, the tip of the blade moves fast even at low RPM. For example, a large fan can have blade tip speeds around 40 mph, allowing it to move a large volume of air efficiently.

Q: How do you size a ceiling fan for a warehouse?

The easiest method to size a big HVLS ceiling fan is based on the number of people working in a 100ft area. If it's only 1 person, a fan will cover 8x its diameter. If many people are physically working and edges are important, a fan will cover 4x its diameter.

Q: How do HVLS fans compare to evaporative cooling?

Both rely on evaporation. HVLS fans help sweat evaporate from your skin, while evaporative systems add moisture to the air. Both remove heat through evaporation.

Q: What size building needs an HVLS fan?

Typically, buildings at least 40 ft × 40 ft benefit from HVLS fans, especially if people or animals are inside.

Q: I have a hot building. Is there a better solution than just air conditioning?

Yes. If your building allows fresh air in, adding large ceiling fans can greatly improve comfort. Moving air makes the space feel cooler, even if the temperature does not change.

Q: Can a ceiling fan really cool a large space?

A fan does not lower the air temperature. However, it can make it feel up to 8°F cooler by helping sweat evaporate from your skin, which naturally cools your body.

Q: Can a high-velocity fan cool a room?

Yes, but only in a small area. High-velocity fans create strong airflow in a focused spot. HVLS fans are better for large spaces because they move air evenly across the entire building.

Serious airflow, smart savings. Our industrial HVLS fans keep your facility cooler, quieter, and more efficient, whether you're managing livestock, lifting weights, or loading pallets. Just don’t blame us if your hat takes off!

Why is my fan making squeaking noises?

If your fan produces a squeaking noise, it could be due to the belt slipping. This typically happens when the belt has been in use for a long time and has become worn.

Replacing and properly tightening the belt should alleviate this issue. Consider direct magnet drive fans that eliminate belts and gear issues.
