We make really, really big fans. Also small fans, medium fans & other cool stuff.

About us

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. In 2001, we finally took the hint when customers kept calling and asking if we made “those big-ass fans” and changed our name for good. This was just the beginning. As our business grew, so did our customers’ needs. After noting that several customers were purchasing Big Ass Fans for their homes, we decided to develop 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. Add in our line of evaporative coolers and we have comfort covered from top-to-bottom and everywhere in between. Our commitment to our customers remains our top priority. We’ve backed everything with serious research, intensive engineering, and an almost obsessive drive to innovate and improve. Our headquarters is located in Lexington, Ky., and we offer rewarding careers throughout the United States and in our international offices in Australia, Canada and Singapore. From our team of engineers working to perfect the science of air movement in our state-of-the-art R&D lab to our quirky marketing mavericks, the desire to innovate has always drawn top talent to Big Ass Fans. Whether you’re a sales representative, IT guru, production specialist or an overall go-getter, it’s a dynamic place to work.

    It has been pretty hot up here in Toronto, I could use a big ass fan to cool me down. That is right, I said ass in a LinkedIn post, but hear me out! That is what this week's exhibitor spotlight is all about, some Big Ass Fans! I met Big Ass Fans at FABTECH Expo 2024 in Toronto and they had a pretty cool walk through booth. Big Ass Fans sells massive industrial fans, coolers, and heaters, mostly for industrial and commercial use, but they also have some residential options. The real reason I wanted to spotlight them today though was the name. It is rare that you see a company boldly using the word "ass" in their brand, but here, it is a statement. I spoke with one of the booth reps at this exhibit and the story goes like this: BIG ASS FANS was originally named the “HVLS Fan Company”, which obviously doesn't stand out. It was once they got known for their massive products that sales leads would contact that them asking, "do you sell those big ass fans?". As this kept happening, the company rebranded and embraced their reputation as the company that does indeed sell those big ass fans. As Big Ass Fans attends different trade shows that cover their targets, they loudly display their bold brand name at their exhibit, further amplified by their use of their standout yellow brand colours. When at your next show, do not be shy to boldly show your brand and do something more intense to stand out. Attendee foot traffic can be finicky and sometimes you just need to freeze them in their place, before you blow their minds. #ExhibitorMarketing #TradeShow #Branding

    Last week we had the honor of celebrating the storied racing career of Cody's Wish and the special bond he shared with Cody Dorman. Thank you to the Dorman family, Godolphin, and to everyone who had a part in this story for allowing us to join them on this journey, to witness the incredible bond between Cody and Cody’s Wish, and to see history being made. To this day, Cody’s Wish is the only two-time winner of the Big Ass Fans Dirt Mile and we know that his special relationship with Cody Dorman helped lead him to those victories. We intend to continue Cody Dorman's legacy in partnership with the Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana Foundation by helping to fund a future wish in his name. Cody’s story lives on through Cody’s Wish and through all of us who remember him. Big Ass Fans is proud to be a part of that story. To the Dorman family, to Cody, and to Cody’s Wish, we will always be your biggest fans. 📷 Godolphin

    As sustainability becomes an ever-increasing priority for many homeowners, integrating eco-friendly choices into your home can significantly reduce your environmental footprint while also enhancing comfort and efficiency. Haiku ceiling fans are designed to move large volumes of air quietly and efficiently. They reduce energy usage by helping to lower heating and cooling costs by distributing air more efficiently, eliminating the need for HVAC systems to work as hard. The even air distribution ensures consistent temperatures throughout your home, eliminating hot or cold spots. Additionally, Big Ass Fans integrate smart technology, enabling them to adjust their speed and operation based on room occupancy and conditions, further enhancing energy efficiency and user convenience.
