Blame it on the heat or blame it on marketing, but I want a high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fan — even tho I don’t really know what they are. Big Ass Fans is the company that has been advertising lately, but anyone who has been in a cow barn or an island airport knows that those giant fans move air. Plus, they’re quiet.<\/p>\n
Real HVLS fans cost thousands more than I want to pay. And the smallest I can find is 8 feet when I think I want something 6-7 feet altho I could go up to 8. <\/p>\n
Home Depot sells a 72″ fan for under 200 bucks. Would that be so bad? At some point isn’t any big fan a high-volume fan? Or would be a giant mistake to get a cheap fan and put it way up high where it will be a giant hassle to replace when it breaks? I need to install it way up high and I’m NOT changing paddles seasonally so that’s another thing.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Blame it on the heat or blame it on marketing, but I want a high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fan — even tho I don’t really know what they are.
