When people think of industrial fans, they tend to think of a cooling solution to a facility that lacks a comfortable environment. While improving temperature feel is a great benefit, there are several other key benefits that industrial fans contribute to a space and its people.

Cost Savings
Using an HVAC system coupled with an industrial fan can help save energy while preventing your HVAC system from overworking. Industrial ceiling fans translate into an average of $1 per day to operate.
The cost savings on your energy bill is just as relevant in the winter as the summer. One Hunter Industrial customer saw heating bills be reduced by an average of $2,500 annually compared to before the fan was installed.
Whether you're installing industrial fans in warehouses or on a farm, these HVLS fans will pay for themselves in no time.
Heat in the Winter
Speaking of winter, it may not be natural to think about using fans when it’s freezing outside. However, the fans can help with thermal destratification.
Buildings with high ceilings often experience significant heat stratification where warmer air rises to the ceiling while cooler air remains at floor level. This cycle forces a facility’s heaters to work two to three times harder to keep employees and building occupants adequately warm while most of the heat continues to be trapped above their heads.
Industrial ceiling fans help push the heat down to floor level and ensure workers and guests feel comfortable, no matter the outside temperature.
Happy Workforce
Last but certainly not least, good air quality and temperature control can enhance workplace productivity. A recent Harvard Business Review survey reported that the number one workplace wellness perk that employees most desired was air quality.
By improving temperature control in buildings, you're creating a more comfortable, healthier work environment. We have seen companies experience reduced absenteeism and employee complaints, coupled with boosts in overall productivity.
From reducing energy costs to creating a comfortable environment, there are many benefits to having industrial fans in your facility. Contact our team here for a free estimate.
