Industrial Ceiling Fans are installed directly onto the ceiling like a residential overhead fan, their massive blades do the work to regulate the temperature of any business space. To upgrade the appearance and functionality of your warehouse or restaurant, choose an overhead industrial fan. With their modern and energy-efficient design, a new HVLS fan will increase the comfort and convenience of your workspace.

What are HVLS Fans?
 
Standing for High-Volume Low-Speed, HVLS fans are a popular choice for cooling large industrial spaces because they create a maximum output of airflow while utilizing a minimum amount of energy. Although standard residential ceiling fans tend to operate at a high speed to create enough airflow to cool a room, overhead industrial fans turn at a slow, even rate to efficiently regulate temperature. Because these big fans can do the work to cool off your building without racking up your energy costs, they are an excellent option to upgrade any commercial or industrial area. In particular, industrial ceiling fans are useful in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Indoor warehouses, shops, hotels, and sports facilities install large fans to get the best cooling power and quiet operation. Also, you can upgrade outdoor areas like restaurant patio dining, open-air markets, or agricultural buildings with a new fan. 
 
In both the summer and winter months, overhead industrial fans increase the air quality and regulate the temperature of commercial buildings. In the summer, high temperatures can decrease productivity as your employees struggle through the heat. But with an HVLS fan evenly distributing cold air and providing circulation, your warehouse or restaurant will be much cooler. In the winter, an industrial ceiling fan still does the work to make your warehouse a more comfortable place. It can be operated in reverse to redistribute the air, keeping your closed-up building from becoming stuffy. This also helps to circulate the warm air instead of having pockets of heat in only portions of the room. All in all, an HVLS fan does consistent work to keep your industrial building at a comfortable temperature year-round.

Choose an Overhead Industrial Fan Over a Barrel Fan
 
If you’re currently cooling your business with a barrel fan, you know they are energy guzzlers, difficult to maintain, and noisy. Although set-up and affordability may create an initially easy experience, years of use will show that barrel fans don’t hold up against wear. That is why investing in an overhead industrial fan is the best choice to increase the efficiency and convenience of your business. In fact, an industrial fan combines the best of energy efficiency, low maintenance upkeep, and quiet operation. 
 
Energy Efficiency 
 
HVLS fans are a feat of engineering designed to create the most cooling power while exerting the least amount of energy. This is achieved with an efficient HP motor and blades constructed to maximize airflow. Because these fans require less energy from your HVAC system to cool your building, you save on operating costs. Instead of the high HP and energy demands of a barrel fan that drive up your expenses, choose an energy-efficient shop fan. 
 
Low Maintenance
 
While barrel fans need regular maintenance to battle wear, an overhead industrial fan can operate independently for years. Built with durable products and minimal moving parts, HVLS fans need little to no maintenance even over decades of use. With this low-maintenance product, your one-time investment saves money long-term by preventing the need for regular mechanical upkeep or cleaning. 
 
Quiet Operation
 
Beyond the operation and maintenance headaches of barrel fans, they are also extremely noisy, especially running at high enough speeds to cool your warehouse in the summer. Instead of bearing the constant buzz and talking over the noise, choose an almost silent industrial overhead fan. The smooth, slow turns of the long blades create the same airflow as a barrel fan with a fraction of the energy and sound. 
 
Space Saving
 
Because barrel fans can take up a large amount of floor space, you have to make room to fit them into your business. You also have to clear the area in front of the fan so that the airflow isn’t obstructed. But with an overhead industrial fan, floor space, and unobstructed airflow aren’t a problem. From overhead, an HVLS fan will evenly distribute the air, cooling the entire space.
