The Big Ass Fans Story:

A Celebration of Life and Air

Each day we're asked "What does Big Ass Fans do exactly?" Well, we make six- to 24-foot diameter ceiling fans that use their immense size -not speed- to move massive amounts of air over large spaces. The demand has been phenomenal with Big Ass Fans installed everywhere from Airports-to-Zoos worldwide.

We entered the world in 1999 as the HVLS (High Volume/Low Speed) Fan Company, a nod to our technology. And, with each fan sold, we noticed people looking skyward in disbelief and uttering, “That sure is a big ass fan.” It didn't take us long to embrace the quirky name and become the Big Ass Fans Company.

Soon afterwards, we began plastering our brand on everything from donkey-shaped squeeze toys, to the side of our Lexington, KY headquarters. Big Ass Fans logo merchandise quickly became a hot commodity in its own right. And, seeing an opportunity to do good, we decided to donate every merchandise-related penny to the Longhopes Donkey Shelter, a non-profit donkey rescue shelter.

Sure, we have a funny name, but we're grounded in science. That's why we’ve won Plant Engineering’s Product of the Year award for 2002, 2003 and 2004. Locally, Big Ass Fans won the 2006 Kentucky Manufacturer of the Year and 2006 World Trade Success Awards. Everyone needs a hobby, we collect awards.

We believe to know us is to love us. Thanks for stopping by.
