How to Choose Between Brands of HVLS Fans

HVLS warehouse fans are wonderful. Warehouse managers who buy them rave about their energy efficiency. Employees who work beneath them praise them for the relief and comfort they provide. Accountants love their ability to help increase productivity. 

It’s no wonder several manufacturers have jumped on the HVLS bandwagon in recent years. Between numerous brands and nearly countless options, models, styles, and configurations, choosing the right one has never been more challenging.

Until now. Big Ass Fans—the world leader in innovating, producing, and selling HVLS fans—brings you a quick guide to choosing the best HVLS fans. Now you’ll be prepared to make a smart, informed decision about your next HVLS fan purchase. 

Differences Between Brands of HVLS Fans

If you took a quick look at all the major HVLS fan brands side by side, your first impression would likely be that nearly all of them look very similar. Most (if not all) brands tout maximum airflow and energy efficiency. And many offer add-on features such as touchscreen controls.

The big differences are in the details. A closer inspection of each fan will reveal some slight (and some not-so-slight) variations in airfoil design. Width, length, shape, angle, and tip design all affect the fan’s performance. Some of those distinctions may seem minor, but their slight differences in performance add up over time. 

The level of support for each brand of HVLS fan varies, as well. Warranties, maintenance plans, and ongoing service differ from company to company. Be sure you understand just how much assistance you’ll be getting throughout the entire process—from selecting models to installation and post-purchase support.
