Year-round Energy Savings

Big Ass overhead fans work with your HVAC to provide significant energy savings.

  • In summer, the fans’ cooling effect means the a/c can be set several degrees higher.
  • In winter, fans push the heat down from the ceiling, decreasing the work of your heater and leading to savings as high as 30 percent.

Options

Plus Hybrid Aerofoil

  • Pushes air at an angle, moving it over and around obstructions
  • Unique, aerodynamic aerofoil and winglet designs enhance both energy efficiency and airflow by eliminating turbulent airflow at the aerofoil tips

Optional SmartSense

Optional SmartSense is an automated system with three user modes: Winter, Summer and Manual.

  • Winter Mode: Automatically adjusts speed to minimize temperature differential between the floor and ceiling
  • Summer Mode: Increases fan speed as the floor-level temperature rises
  • Manual Mode: Takes the system off autopilot and gives the user full control of fan operation

Featured Case Study: Paul Cates Stable

Summers down here can be tough. Before buying Big Ass Fans, there wasn't much we could do about the heat, but this summer has been a different story. The fans help a lot and are worth every penny. Paul Cates, Owner, Round Rock, Texas

Summary

Cates installed two 24-ft (7.3m) Powerfoil®8 fans by Big Ass Fans®, greatly relieving his patrons, horses and himself. The fans work with the arena’s exhaust system to generate a consistent, cooling breeze throughout the space, keeping lessons and training sessions comfortable. “The horses and I have to deal with the heat the most, and Big Ass Fans help me get through the day,” Cates said. He noted his particularly willful horses, which were once especially affected by soaring temperatures, now rarely experience fatigue.
