Big Ass Fans

In 1999, Big Ass Fans was born. Kind of. Then called the HVLS Fan Co. (that’s High Volume, Low Speed), we first made our mark selling massive ceiling fans. The fans kept large spaces that lacked air conditioning, such as factories and dairy barns, feeling cool and comfortable by moving large volumes of air at a low speed. After a few years, we finally took the hint when customers kept calling and asking if we made “those big-ass fans” and changed our name for good.

As our business grew, so did our customers’ needs. After noting that customers were purchasing Big Ass Fans for their homes, we developed a line of upgraded residential fans. Our line of silent, stylish Haiku fans blew away ENERGY STAR® ratings and won awards worldwide. Then we took it a step further by automating personal comfort and adding SenseME technology to our residential fans.
