Why is the HVLS Fan Used in the Industries?

It seems like yesterday when customers were just discovering what an HVLS fan was. Customer education was the number one priority of each manufacturer. HVLS fans were designed to cool dairy cows… why is this relevant in industrial applications? Understanding the operational challenges of industries was key in the education phase.

Heating and cooling industrial space is a necessary component for most industries. The rising costs associated with these processes is fixed on the company budget. By reducing these heating and cooling costs while improving productivity, HVLS fans became an attractive option for many spaces. Now that the customer was educated, manufacturers shifted their focus from education to the demonstration phase.


"Not long after a single fan was installed, customers witnessed firsthand the capabilities of an HVLS Fan inside their own space and called looking to purchase more. "


HVLS Fan manufacturers began offering trial periods for their product to affirm their claims of lower energy costs and increased comfort/productivity. Not long after a single fan was installed, customers witnessed firsthand the capabilities of an HVLS Fan inside their own space and called looking to purchase more. Now most new builds call for HVLS fans to be included at the design stage, while existing industrial spaces without fans dig for capital to get them installed.
