Differences Between Brands of HVLS Fans

If you took a quick look at all the major HVLS fan brands side by side, your first impression would likely be that nearly all of them look very similar. Most (if not all) brands tout maximum airflow and energy efficiency. And many offer add-on features such as touchscreen controls.

The big differences are in the details. A closer inspection of each fan will reveal some slight (and some not-so-slight) variations in airfoil design. Width, length, shape, angle, and tip design all affect the fan’s performance. Some of those distinctions may seem minor, but their slight differences in performance add up over time. 

The level of support for each brand of HVLS fan varies, as well. Warranties, maintenance plans, and ongoing service differ from company to company. Be sure you understand just how much assistance you’ll be getting throughout the entire process—from selecting models to installation and post-purchase support.
