Garage Fans for a Powerful, Quiet Cooling Effect in Any Size Space
Keeping your garage feeling comfortable is easy with the right garage fans from Hunter Industrial. Whether you're looking for a wall-mount garage fan that stays out of the way, a pedestal fan you can move where you need it, a powerful drum fan for big spaces, or an HVLS (High Volume, Low Speed) fan for serious airflow, we've got you covered. Our heavy-duty garage fans deliver high CFM (cubic feet per minute) to circulate air quickly and quietly, so you get relief without all the noise. Take a look at our collection to find heavy-duty, space-saving fans to keep your team—and your tools—cool no matter how tough the job gets.
Why a Garage Fan Is a Must-Have for Your Space
Working in a hot, stuffy garage just doesn't cut it—especially when there's work to get done or tools and equipment you want to protect. A garage cooling fan makes all the difference by moving air through your space, helping to keep things comfortable for everyone on the job. Whether you're running a shop, managing a facility, or handling projects yourself, circulating air with a garage fan helps keep the environment safer, reduces fatigue, and even protects your tools and materials from excess heat and moisture. Year-round, a good garage fan means a more comfortable, productive workspace.
Garage Fan Types: Find the Right Fit for Your Space
Not every garage is built the same—and neither are garage fans. Here's a quick guide to the main types, so you can pick what works best for your setup.
Wall-Mount Garage Fans
Designed for permanent installations. A wall-mount garage fan keeps valuable floor space clear while delivering high CFM airflow exactly where you need it. Great for busy work areas and tight spaces.
Pedestal Garage Fans
Need flexibility? Hunter's pedestal garage fans are movable and height-adjustable, making them ideal for shifting air right where work is happening. Move your fan from station to station and get targeted cooling wherever the job takes you.
Drum/Barrel Fans
When you're dealing with serious heat or extra-large garages, drum or barrel fans are the heavy hitters. These high CFM garage fans move massive amounts of air fast. They're built tough for shops, warehouses, and commercial garages.
HVLS Fans for Garages
For the ultimate in air movement, HVLS (High Volume, Low Speed) fans are in a league of their own. These giants create a slow, steady breeze that covers huge areas, all while running quietly and using less energy than you'd expect. Ideal for garages with high ceilings or wide-open layouts.
Need a Garage Door Upgrade, Too?
Pair your new garage fan with a high-quality garage door from Clopay Garage Doors—America's trusted name in garage doors for commercial, industrial, and residential spaces.

How To Choose the Right Fan Size for Your Garage
Picking the right size shop fan isn't rocket science, but a little know-how goes a long way. The key number to look for is CFM—Cubic Feet per Minute–or how much air your fan can move. The bigger the space (and the hotter it gets), the more CFM you'll want.
Here's a quick cheat sheet for sizing your garage fan:
- Garages up to 300 sq ft: Go with an 18" workstation fan. These typically deliver 1,700–1,960 CFM. Great for small shops or one-car garages.
- Garages 300 to 600 sq ft: Step up to a 20"–24" Hunter Air Circulator (with a CFM of 1,780–3,340) or the Jan Fan, with a CFM ranging from 2,818–3,935. Perfect for most two-car garages or medium workspaces.
- Garages over 600 sq ft (or commercial spaces): It's time for the big guns. Drum fans and HVLS fans can cover these areas with ease, thanks to their powerful motors and serious air movement. Look for the highest CFM ratings you can get—these fans are built to keep even the largest spaces cool and comfortable.
