Which size do you need?

Every fan side by side, with the specs from each product page.

Rule of thumb: one fan covers an area about 4 to 8 times its diameter. Busy floor where the edges matter, plan on 4x. Just a few people, 8x.

FAQ

HVLS fan questions

Ask us
What is an HVLS fan?

An HVLS fan is a large ceiling fan that moves a high volume of air at low speed. It is designed for large spaces like warehouses, barns, shops, and gyms.

How do you size a ceiling fan for a warehouse?

The easiest way to size a big HVLS ceiling fan is by how many people are working in the space. If it's only one person, a fan will cover about 8 times its diameter. If many people are physically working and the edges of the room matter, plan on about 4 times its diameter. Our free Fan Size Calculator runs the numbers for your building.

What size building needs an HVLS fan?

Typically, buildings at least 40 ft by 40 ft benefit from HVLS fans, especially if people or animals are inside.

How much does a large HVLS ceiling fan cost?

AmeriWind fans currently run from $3,049 for the 8 ft model to $8,403 for the 30 ft model. Price depends on the size and the input voltage you choose, and shipping is free to the contiguous US.

What is the difference between the E-Series and the T-Series?

E-Series fans (12 to 18 ft) are efficient and economical, built for indoor industrial and smaller agricultural spaces. T-Series fans (18 to 30 ft) are our most powerful and rugged, with heavy-duty construction made to withstand crosswinds in large industrial and agricultural buildings.

What is the difference between your direct drive and belt drive fans?

Our Compact, E-Series, and T-Series fans are direct drive. There is no gearbox and no belt, so there are fewer parts that wear out or need service. The 20 ft Belt Drive Livestock Cooling Fan uses a 1.6 HP motor with a replaceable belt, which makes it a cost-effective way to move large volumes of air through barns and livestock facilities.

Do you charge for shipping?

No. Every AmeriWind fan ships free to the contiguous United States. Freight on a fan this size usually runs $500 to $600, and we cover it. For Alaska, Hawaii, or international orders, contact us for a freight quote.

How is an HVLS fan different from a regular fan?

HVLS fans are larger (typically 10 to 24 feet), turn slower, run quieter, use less energy, and are designed to cover large areas. A regular fan moves fast air across a small area. An HVLS fan moves slower air across a whole building.

How does a slow-moving fan move air effectively?

Because of its size, the tip of the blade moves fast even at low RPM. A large fan can have blade tip speeds around 40 mph, which lets it move a large volume of air efficiently.

Can a ceiling fan really cool a large space?

A fan does not lower the air temperature. It can make the space feel up to 8°F cooler by helping sweat evaporate from your skin, which naturally cools your body.

I have a hot building. Is there a better solution than just air conditioning?

Yes. If your building lets fresh air in, adding large ceiling fans can greatly improve comfort. Moving air makes the space feel cooler, even if the temperature does not change.
