Inventors of Big Fans Deliver Relief and More
MacroAir’s founder, Walter Boyd, invented High Volume Low Speed Fan Technology in the mid 1990’s. This technology has truly revolutionized the air movement industry. Six to twenty-four foot ceiling fans strategically placed throughout a facility deliver a consistent, gentle, all encompassing breeze. Plus HVLS fans are extremely energy efficient. One twenty-four foot fan moves up to 376,804 cubic feet of air per minute and does this work for less than a dollar a day!
Large energy efficient fans improve employee comfort by creating a refreshing cool zone. When temps start to heat up employees start to melt down without relief. A gentle breeze moving across
damp skin enhances the human evaporative cooling process.
MacroAir has been manufacturing HVLS fans longer than any one; after all we invented the technology! When considering HVLS fans for your facility make sure you consider a few key factors:
- How much air does the fan move, CFM?
- How does the AMCA certified rating compare to others?
- Does the fan operate in reverse for winter heat de-stratification?
- How many kilowatts per hour does the fan use?
- What is the product warranty; does the install cost increase with an extended warranty?
- Are there custom components that will cost more to replace?
- Does the unit include electronic and radio interference suppression filters?
- Is the fan Install-Ready or are there add-ons?
- How much does the fan weigh?
- Does the unit include a universal load reducing mounting system?
- What about a dual, redundant safety system?
- Is a cost reducing wiring package included?
