Summer Cooling
Big Ass Fans can save massive amounts of energy by supplementing A/C or replacing dozens of high-speed floor fans.When itās hot outside and the heat makes its way indoors, you have two options to combat reduced productivity and potential heat stress: crank up the A/C (and watch your energy use skyrocket) or get creative. Whether you have A/C or not, air movement from Big Ass Fans improves your bodyās natural cooling mechanisms, keeping you happy, safe and productive. Plus Big Ass Fans can save massive amounts of energy by supplementing A/C or replacing dozens of high-speed floor fans. Hereās how it works.
Itās Simple: Hot Workers Donāt Work.
Whether itās in a sweltering warehouse floor or in a stuffy office, when temperatures rise, productivity plummets. That’s our favorite kind of common senseāthe kind that’s backed by science.
The human body fights to keep an internal temperature of 97-99 °F. When people canāt cool down fast enough, heat stress kicks in, slowing workers and putting them at risk of injury or worse. So how do we prevent it?

Fans Cool People, Not Rooms
Cranking the A/C might seem like the way to go, but the only place youāll be going is the poor house. Trying to cool big spaces by forcing cold air into them is expensive, inefficient, and extremely last century.
Instead, let Big Ass Fans do the hard work.
Our High-Volume, Low-Speed (HVLS) fans move massive amounts of air to cool employees faster and cheaper than air conditioning. The increased airflow Big Ass Fans provide quickly evaporates perspiration from the skin, carrying heat away with it. This circulating air also reduces the thickness of hot, humid air that can stifle the bodyās natural cooling mechanismsāmaking people feel up to 10°F cooler without the need for expensive air conditioning.
Improve AC Efficiency
We all love our air conditioners. Thatās obvious. Americans spend up to 70 percent of their summer electricity bills on air conditioning. All that juice adds up to $11 billion a year in the residential sector alone, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Thatās more than the yearly operating budget of about a dozen states. And in the commercial sector, space cooling accounts for anywhere from 10 to 25 percent of energy use, depending on the type of business.
Fans improve the efficiency and effectiveness of air conditioning in several ways. For starters, generating a few degrees of cooling from an energy-efficient fan will allow you to raise your thermostat set point a few degrees and stay just as comfortable. For every degree you raise your thermostat, you can save 3 to 6 percent on cooling costs. Additionally, the temperature isnāt the same everywhere in any building ā itās colder by the vent, itās hotter by a large window, and so forth. Fans mix the air creating complete uniformity, allowing the thermostat to read the actual temperature in the space, not just the temperature by the thermostat.
Speaking of thermostats, in commercial spaces, no temperature is ideal for everyone, requiring facility managers to set strict rules about adjusting the thermostat, or locking it out altogether. With BigĀ AssĀ Fans, employees can adjust the speed of the fan without creating a huge energy suck.
