We make really, really big fans. Also small fans, medium fans & other cool stuff.

About us

In 1999, Big Ass Fans was born. Kind of. Then called the HVLS Fan Co. (that’s High Volume, Low Speed), we first made our mark selling massive ceiling fans. The fans kept large spaces that lacked air conditioning, such as factories and dairy barns, feeling cool and comfortable by moving large volumes of air at a low speed. In 2001, we finally took the hint when customers kept calling and asking if we made “those big-ass fans” and changed our name for good. This was just the beginning. As our business grew, so did our customers’ needs. After noting that several customers were purchasing Big Ass Fans for their homes, we decided to develop a line of upgraded residential fans. Our line of silent, stylish Haiku fans blew away ENERGY STAR® ratings and won awards worldwide. Then we took it a step further by automating personal comfort and adding SenseME technology to our residential fans. Add in our line of evaporative coolers and we have comfort covered from top-to-bottom and everywhere in between. Our commitment to our customers remains our top priority. We’ve backed everything with serious research, intensive engineering, and an almost obsessive drive to innovate and improve. Our headquarters is located in Lexington, Ky., and we offer rewarding careers throughout the United States and in our international offices in Australia, Canada and Singapore. From our team of engineers working to perfect the science of air movement in our state-of-the-art R&D lab to our quirky marketing mavericks, the desire to innovate has always drawn top talent to Big Ass Fans. Whether you’re a sales representative, IT guru, production specialist or an overall go-getter, it’s a dynamic place to work.

    Black Jack is built rugged enough to withstand years of regular use. Take it to the sports field, loan it out for that outdoor wedding, or haul it to the garage or workshop for maximum airflow. No matter what storm your Big Ass fan weathers, you can hose it down in minutes thanks to Black Jack’s washdown-ready construction. Unlike other portable commercial floor fans, Black Jack comes ready to play, with a preassembled 6.5-foot cage so you can plug it in and enjoy the breeze in seconds.

    The first federal legal protections for indoor and outdoor workers who regularly work in the heat should be effective next year. This is a huge deal not only because of the lives it would save, the comfort and resulting productivity increase, and improve the balance of equity with front line workers in these environments. If you're unfamiliar with the plan, it would require employers to have heat safety plans and provide water and rest breaks when temperatures climb above certain temperatures. This regulation will continue to evolve, but we can help you audit your facility, continuously monitor temperature, and provide the right equipment to get ahead of this and ensure you can limit mandatory breaks. It will be getting hotter every year. If you'd like to read more about this, this is a good article: https://lnkd.in/e6MM2yeG #HeatStress #Summer #Workplace #bigassfans
