Benefits

Why use High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) Fans?

Maximum airflow, less cost. 

HVLS fans are a popular choice across many industries for the multitude of benefits than can be achieved when applied with our specialised methodology.

Year round benefits

Use in cool and wet months for balanced humidity and temperature levels. Mixing the air, called destratification, keeps all areas at the same temperature and humidity levels to keep indoor environments healthier. Operate at a faster speed in warmer months to create a cooling, even breeze across your staff or customers.

Energy Efficient

The large diameter and low-speed settings of our fans mean they can move a lot of air with very little energy input. In fact, HVLS fans make the air feel significantly cooler at a fraction of the cost of air conditioning or ventilation systems. When used in tandem with a refrigeration or heating system, our fans can lower your operating costs by up to 30%.

Increase business productivity with HVLS fans

Studies show that an uncomfortable work temperature leads to low employee morale and lowered productivity with disengagement in NZ being a common complaint.

Main applications of HVLS fans

The key to success of the HVLS fan is the engineering for quiet and efficient operation, and pitched blades to move huge quantities of air which can be used for multiple applications across all seasons.

Cooling people

HVLS fans are commonly used for cooling people or animals in large industrial and commercial buildings.  Operate faster to create a comfortable cooling breeze throughout big areas. 

Ventilation

HVLS ceiling fans draw in fresh air and disperse stale air with one of the largest air circulation capacities available, working in perfect harmony and markedly increasing existing ventilation capacity. Successfully used in facilities for dispersing ammonia, CO2 and other harmful fumes. 

Destratification

Effectively mix warm and cool air layers to reduce or eliminate stuffiness, odours and condensation, and help keep temperature levels comfortable and constant all year round.

Dry Products

Used Helicopter hangars and supercar warehouses to keep moisture from settling, and to balance humidity levels.  Customisable controls available to achieve this automatically. 

Used with high airflow to dry pallets, concrete floors and stored products (even in industrial baking). 

Lower Cost

High volume, low speed (HVLS) fans are estimated at 20% the capital cost required for typical heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. 

Reduce the load on your current HVAC systems with HVLS fans doing the air circulation for you, saving up to 30% operating costs.

Reduce the KW requirement and therefore capital cost of your new HVAC system, when you add high volume low speed fans into your heating, ventilation and cooling plan from the outset.  

You can save >10% of the capital cost of your HVAC unit, when combined with an Industrial HVLS Ceiling Fan at the planning stage.  This is due to the HVLS Ceiling fan being the key to distributing the air throughout your building

Healthier indoor air

In 2010, the World Health Organization recognized indoor air quality as an important risk factor in human health. Additionally, in the US, federal scientists rank indoor air pollution among the most important national environmental problems.

Ceiling fans are the most effective way to circulate the air.  In large areas or combined with passive or mechanical ventilation, they reduce respiratory problems by eliminating carbon monoxide, mold, dust, air pollutants, fork truck fumes, welding fumes and metal-cutting fumes.

A sustainable solution

Reduce your company’s carbon footprint by utilising a product that offers lower energy consumption, low global warming impact with no refrigerants and easy to dispose and recycle at end of life.

Testimonials

A note from our biggest fans

We foster and value relationships with community organisations, working alongside them to best support.

"It blows your hair off your head and the banners off the walls. We never thought in a building our size (1000m2) that we would get that kind of breeze almost corner to corner, but we do. In fact we had to run it at half speed just so we didn’t disturb the gymnasts when they were competing at their first competition of the season! "
Erica Third
Hamilton Gymnastics
"Everyone (all 650 of us) has just loved the fan! We honestly could not have gotten through summer without it. Last summer there were real risks around participants becoming lethargic, concerns of them slipping from equipment and coaches feeling sick from the heat. This summer, though just as hot at times, there has been none of those concerns. The impact you feel is huge on the ground."

"We installed a 3.6m diameter HVLS fan from Jet Black Fan Systems in our F45 Studio. They were superb to deal with from the initial scoping all the way through to installation and follow up support. Vanessa was a pleasure to deal with. The fan technology is awesome and our members love the cooling effect from the vast amount of air movement. I recommend the company as they supply great fan technology systems, but probably more for their open and honest business ethics."

"Jet Black Fans are awesome! our own team installed them, very easy to install... easy to put up, great piece of kit, easy to use, can't fault them."
Kerry Sole
Crasborn Freshmax, Hastings NZ
"Value for money absolutely. It is hard to put a price on keeping the team happy, at a very busy part of the year you can't afford to have them falling over with dehydration and heat exhaustion, very, very, very well worth it."

"Dealing with Jet Black Fans was an absolute pleasure, they took care of everything for us and were quick to answer any queries we had. The installation was seamless."
Michelle Miller
Franklin Gymsports, Pukekohe NZ
"The fan has made a remarkable difference in the gym, making it a much more pleasant environment for our members and staff during the hot summer months. The other amazing thing is how quiet it is – we don’t even notice any noise!"

"Just a short note to say these fans are in and lots of members have made comment as to the improvement they have made… Nothing but happy smiling faces and voluntary compliments. Thanks to you guys."
Merv Nelms

"After installing the fans, we noticed staff turnover was less. So obviously the working conditions had improved, and it was a more comfortable place to work."

"We’ve had a long history of using Big Ass Fans at Bridge Climb. For us, they’re industrial in nature. They look great and they provide what we need which is good air movement through the base. "
Simon Pitkethley
Bridge Climb Sydney
"With Big Ass Fans in the foyer, there’s ten of them [Essence fans]. They move huge amount of air and if you don’t look up, the only thing you think is that there’s a breeze in the terminal. Quite fascinating there’s so much air moving and there’s no noise."
Glen Newport

"The fan is going great. Absolutely no issues and it just blends in."
Dan Paine
Brisbane Powerhouse
"Through the assistance of a Lotterywest grant, we are now able to provide our volunteers and visitors to the Motor Museum of WA, a level of comfort through air movement during Perth’s summer months with the installation of eight Big Ass Fans. We are delighted with the results, bring on summer!"
