A Little Background

An industrial ceiling fan is a type of fan that is typically used for commercial purposes. Some of the places that you can install an industrial ceiling fan to include a warehouse, shops, classrooms, large garages, workshops, grocery stores, cargo areas, business establishments, restaurants, outdoor stages, basements, multi-purpose halls and any large room or area.

Ceiling fans have gone a long way. You can choose from ones that are traditionally operated with a pull cord or ones that can be remote controlled. The benefit of the pull cord one is that you have no remote to lose or break but the downside is that only tall enough people can operate it. Remote controlled fans, on the other hand, are far more convenient but who knows what could happen to the remote if you misplace it.

How We Picked

When you want the best industrial ceiling fans, you should look at the following factors:

Number of blades: more blades, such as those with 3 to 5 blades, can potentially mean more cooling power, but this also depends on the power of your motor, so be careful when choosing one. For industrial use, more fans have fewer blades but larger span to get more power driven with a certain law of physics, but this can also mean more operating noise.
Size of the blades: For industrial use, a ceiling fan should have longer blades, especially if you are going to place it in a warehouse or some other larger establishment that needs a lot of cooling power. You must equate the blade length to the size of the space or area.

Speed settings: The speed settings can be switched with different mechanisms, and for industrial fans, you need something that is very convenient, such as one that is remote controlled, although wall control is also okay.

Wattage: the wattage of an industrial ceiling fan will usually be bigger than that of a home ceiling fan. Nonetheless, it should be energy efficient so you should look for one that is Energy Star rated or certified as well as UL and ETL certified for safety purposes. For industrial uses, wattage should be minimal but with great efficiency. You should be able to reduce operating costs without compromising your business or customers.
Design: the design of the industrial ceiling fan should be in line with the décor of your establishment. For instance, restaurants and the like should have a specifically designed fan that matches the interior or the exterior of the place. Contemporary establishments will benefit from simple designs but intrinsic ones are for fancy restaurants.
Control style: do consider an industrial ceiling fan that is easy to control. As we mentioned above, you can control it with either a wall control or a remote control. It is rare to see a pull cord mechanism for industrial ceiling fans, since they will usually be situated way above the flooring, so you may need to install them with wiring and then using a wall control or a remote control to pick the appropriate speed.
Blade material: for industrial use, the ceiling fan should be made out of high quality and durable material that will last long, such as metal. Wood is ideal only for commercial establishments with a fancy motif or transitional design, such as restaurants. Others can benefit from simple white or silver as well as a bronze nickel finish.
Certifications: do consider an industrial ceiling fan that has been Energy Star certified to make sure that it is eco-friendly and also energy saving in the long run. Reducing the operational costs of your business or establishment is one of the goals that you need to achieve so that you won’t easily get out of budget. Another must-have for industrial ceiling fans is the ETL certification as well as the UL listing for safety.
Reversible: if you need an industrial ceiling fan that will have to cool down a warehouse in the summer, you will also need that fan in the winter to reduce on heating costs as the reverse feature of the industrial ceiling fan can help create updraft to make cool air go up.
Lighting: many warehouses already have separate lighting for them so you may not need it for a warehouse fan. On the other hand, restaurants may benefit from an industrial ceiling fan that has a lighting fixture for added style and functionality as well.
Ease of installation: For industrial ceiling fans, they should be a simple solution and even if they do require an electrician, it should be easy for the electrician as well to set it up in no time with properly given instructions.
Durability and warranty: most industrial ceiling fans are backed with a lifetime warranty for the motor, and some can go for even 15 years for its warranty. For its parts, you can get up to 3 years of warranty and replacement.

What we are looking for is something that has a good amount of speed and balance between the blades and the motor for better cooling.

Other Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is there a difference between an industrial ceiling fan and a commercial ceiling fan?

A: Yes there are certain differences between an industrial ceiling fan and a commercial ceiling fan, such as the following:

Criteria	Industrial Ceiling Fan	Commercial Ceiling Fan
Ideal Location	An industrial ceiling fan will most likely be seen on larger areas such as a warehouse, factory, multi-purpose halls, open stages and the like. They will be useful for those places where noise is not really an issue.	The commercial fan is typically seen on a restaurant, shopping center, mall store, office, school, church, grocery store and the like, where you need to have minimal noise for the fan.
Motor Design	Ceiling fans that are for industrial use mostly use a sealed gear drive system, which makes it more powerful but a little bit noisier.	It will usually be made with a gearless direct drive motor, which makes less noise and still delivers sufficient power for all.

Q: What does HLVS mean and why is it important in industrial fan use?

A: The HLVS fan is a type of fan that stands for “High Volume Low Speed”, which applies to most high power and high quality industrial fans that are made for cooling warehouses, factories and the like. The following are the typical qualities of an HLVS fan:

Size: the HLVS fan will usually be available in large sizes, from 10 to 16 feet in size, hence, they are made for warehouses and industrial use. Other typical uses of this kind of fan can be for aircraft hangars, manufacturing plants, farms, barns and many more.

Power source: an HLVS fan can depend on both solar and electric power because it is a DC system. Like most DC fans, they are not only energy saving but also eco-friendlier than the rest. For companies that want to save energy and contribute to the environment by using renewable energy then switching to an HLVS fan for their industrial fan would be a good choice.

Installation: most HLVS fans come with mounting brackets, a downrod, a direct drive motor, a wall control and some auto shut off switches for safety purposes. Depending on the manufacturer, some can also offer packages that include the solar panels and the hoisting system as well as an alarm system for the panels.

Fan blades: the typical fan blades that are used by HLVS and industrial fans are mostly made of high quality fiberglass. This is because fiberglass has the capability to withstand a lot of impact and revolutions without being too flimsy. Fiberglass is the obvious choice for industrial use due to its light weight and durability. It can be pricier than wood, plastic or metal, but the investment will be worth it. They are also quieter and are weatherproof.

Number of blades: the reason why industrial fans like the HLVS fans only have 3 blades is because they deliver the best kind of airflow, based on current physics theories and applications. Since fiberglass is a material that is lightweight, it will be easier to drive and spin them with the motor and can help cool down the place in no time. Besides, having more blades means needing more power from the motor to deliver the required airflow.

Customizing options: for companies and industrial applications, some manufacturers can offer customizations for various aspects of the industrial ceiling fan, such as the size of the downrod, the color of the fan blades and the ease of control or automation for switching the speed(s) of the ceiling fans in one go, depending on the model you choose to buy.

Q: What is the ideal distance from the ground for an industrial ceiling fan?

A: Unlike home ceiling fans , an industrial ceiling fan must pass the OSHA requirements for safety purposes. They state that industrial ceiling fans should be at least 10 feet from the ground, especially for larger warehouses and plants. Make sure you measure your building’s ceiling height first before you buy an industrial ceiling fan so you know how high you need to hang it up, and to pick the appropriate downrod length.

Q: What factors can affect your choice for the downrod length of your industrial ceiling fan?

A: An industrial ceiling fan that has a downrod (e.g. not a hugger or flush mount fan) should be measured for its downrod first before buying. These factors can affect your choice of downrod length:

Know how the room or area will be used. Most warehouses will be very busy places so it is important to know if you will need to have a downrod length that is long or short. For instance, even if the ceiling is high enough, if the warehouse will involve cargo lifting vehicles that will have to stack high boxes, they could get in the way of the ceiling fan, so make note of this first.

Don’t just measure the ceiling – measure the whole dimensions of the entire room or area. If it is a warehouse, you should include everything that goes around other than the ceiling height, because this can also affect your choice for the downrod length, since downrods will be the ones to support your fan blades.

Make note of any kind of furniture, equipment and other obstructions when installing the ceiling fan. If you think that certain shelves will have to reach a high height when you put the ceiling fan in its place then you should reconsider the downrod length for safety purposes.

You should also know if the ceiling is slanted or flat. A slanted ceiling means that you need to buy a special adapter for vaulted ceilings. Slanted ceiling mounts also offer different choices for the downrod length. On the other hand, if it is a flat ceiling, nearly any kind of downrod will do anyway.

The length of the downrod can also vary from model to model. Some fans are just not available for the downrod length that you are looking for, so keep trying to look for one that meets your criteria so that it will be a perfect fit for your warehouse or industrial room or area.

You should also know your climate when choosing the downrod length. This is because some industrial ceiling fans also have a reverse option that creates an updraft during the cold months or in the winter. Different climates can affect the length of the downrod, since longer rods are more applicable for driving more air, either upwards or downwards, depending on the spin mode of the fan.

The lighting should also be a concern when choosing the downrod length. If you are going to use the ceiling fan as a lighting source then you should consider a lowered fan with a longer length, otherwise, you can just choose any length or shorter lengths. Most industrial ceiling fans can have lighting, but this is a case to case basis, since most of them are primarily for cooling.

Your budget is also an important consideration with downrod length. Longer downrods may need a lot more support, and this is where the electrician or handyman comes in, which can cost you some installation fees. Be prepared to spend a little more if you do consider a specific downrod length for the safety of the installation overall.

Q: What are the possible causes of a wobbling industrial ceiling fan?

A: An industrial ceiling fan may also have the potential to wobble, much like home ceiling fans, and these are the signs you should look for:

Problem / Part	Possible Solution
Blades	Check for any dents or warping, check for its connection to the blade holders.
Blade holder	Check if their connection is alright with the motor.
Down rod ball	Check the dowrod ball’s connection with the mounting bracket, inspect the ball set screws for anything that is loose.
Joist	Make sure that the joist is properly attached with the mounting bracket and the canopy.
Screws	Consider looking if the down rod’s screws are properly tightened.

If none of these problems resolved your industrial ceiling fan wobbling, most fans come with a balancing kit and it can help balance your blades to prevent wobbling in the future.

Q: What is the ideal downrod size length when choosing one for an industrial ceiling fan?

A: For an industrial ceiling fan, the ceiling height is mostly 9 feet and above so you may need the following downrod length recommendations depending on the height of your ceiling:

Length of the Downrod	Height of the Ceiling
12 inches	9 feet
18 inches	10 feet
24 inches	11 feet
36 inches	12 feet
48 inches	13 feet
60 inches	14 feet
72 inches	15 feet

Q: What is the ideal speed of an industrial ceiling fan?

A: An industrial ceiling fan can have a variety of speeds but this depends upon the time of the year, such as with the following:

Summer Season: you should adjust the fan depending on how fast the airflow is around you. Because a ceiling fan drives the cool air downwards, it drives the heat down first before the cold air. If you feel hot at first and it takes a while for you to feel the cool breeze, you should speed up the fan, otherwise, go for a slower speed.

Winter Season: running the fan on a slower speed is the obvious choice, since you don’t want to feel really cold in an already cold environment. If your fan has a reverse mode, you can use this to go along with your heating process so that it moves the air upwards instead of downwards.

Fun fact: some special fans are designed for industrial use and can automatically lower or increase the speed based on the temperature of the room.

Q: How exactly does an industrial ceiling fan benefit you for the winter?

A: There are many ways an industrial ceiling fan can benefit you during the winter, such as with the following:

It helps reduce on heating costs. An industrial ceiling fan has the power to help you reduce on your next heating bill because it actually helps your HVAC or heating system to not overwork itself, just as it does in the summer with the A/C unit. This works by using the reverse option to create an updraft with the clockwise motion of the industrial ceiling fan. Therefore, it is important to invest in a fan that has a reversible option.

It can reduce the risks of hypothermia and other illnesses in cold weather among workers. Hypothermia and other cold diseases are one of the ways to reduce employee retention and productivity. Therefore, you should make the environment more pleasant for them during the winter by investing in an industrial ceiling fan to help speed up the effects of the heater or HVAC system. Losing workers means you are losing capital and money fast.

It benefits the company on operational cost savings. As we mentioned above, any industrial area that gets too cold will make people sick and reduce their productivity, which can mean potential loss on your company. Therefore, an industrial ceiling fan should be operational in the winter to reduce on heating costs and to keep the employees and customers satisfied with the temperature. Not only that, you also save up on electric bills with the reduced heating costs.

Q: What is the typical wattage or power rating of a ceiling fan?

A: A ceiling fan will most likely have somewhere from 30 to 75 watts. Ceiling fans that are for industrial use may be on the 75-watt bracket, because they need to supply more power to the entire area, especially warehouses and plants that are really large.

Q: What is the ideal diameter of a ceiling fan depending on my room size?

A: For the ceiling fan diameter and the room size compatibility, here is a chart that can help you decide which is the best for your room or area:

Room Category	Examples	Room Size	Diameter of Fan
Small	Walk-in closet, bathroom, utility room, kid’s bedroom, porch, terrace, deck, small bedroom	64 to 100 square feet	29 inches to 36 inches
Medium	Offices, patios, living rooms, lobbies, dining rooms, medium bedrooms, gazebos, recreational rooms, small coffee shop, play area, public restroom, kitchen, small classroom	100 to 225 square feet	38 inches to 46 inches
Large	Grocery store, large shop, restaurant, factory or assembly unit, stage, hall, gym, large classroom, computer room, large office space, large workshops, warehouses	225 to 400 square feet	50 inches to 60 inches

Q: When installing an industrial fan, what clearances should I consider?

A: There are many measuring clearances you should be wary of when installing an industrial fan, such as the following:

The ceiling fan should be installed at least 10 feet off the ground, or if possible, up to 24 feet off the ground if your warehouse or establishment has a really high ceiling. Placing industrial fans on a lower scale can ask for trouble, especially if you work on a very busy area such as a wholesaler warehouse, where packages and cargo come and go.

The fan should be at least 5 feet away from the ceiling, unlike in home ceiling fans. This is most likely the case if you have a warehouse with a different styled or sloped ceiling. Just make sure there is enough space from the ceiling to the fan blades or else the blades will not be able to generate enough power and air to cool down the whole area.

Consider a clearance of at least 2 feet from adjacent fixtures such as hanging lights and the like. This clearance is also important for areas with other hanging fixtures such as a disco ball or show light. This is so that the blades of the fan do not interfere with anything around it, just as it doesn’t intrude with anything below.

Consider the formula for getting the appropriate fan size for the room or area. All you need to do is to multiply the diameter of the fan by 5 or 7 and then multiply it by itself to get the total square feet.

For example, if you have a 12-foot fan:
12 x 5 = 60
60 x 60 = 3,600 square feet

Therefore a 12-foot fan will be applicable for an area of at least 3,600 square feet.

Q: Aside from industrial fans, what other fan types exist for ceiling fans?

A: For a ceiling fan, you have many options as what to buy:

Indoor ceiling fans are the ones that typically use either a downrod or a hugger / flush mount. They are only typically used for indoor use because they are made from materials that cannot easily stand up to the elements, such as wood, plastic, MDF and the like. They can be classified into the following:

• Standard or downrod ceiling fans are hung by a downrod, which is simply a rod or pipe that connects it from the ceiling. The downrod fan is ideal for areas with 8 feet of ceiling height or higher, and is the most common indoor design.
• Hugger or flush mount ceiling fans are also called low profile ceiling fans because of how they are mounted from the ceiling. If your area has a 7-foot ceiling and short of 8 feet, you can go for this kind of ceiling fan for safety, since it sits closer to the ceiling.

Outdoor ceiling fans are those that have been UL rated for outdoor use because of their special materials that are okay and applicable for bad weather and the elements. You can place them in your porch, deck, patio or open space outdoors. They can be classified into the following:

• Wet rated ceiling fans are those that are applicable for rainy weather as well as for snow and seaside homes or establishments. If your area is always wet or cold then you should go for these kinds of outdoor fans.
• Damp rated ceiling fans are best placed in highly humid areas such as sunrooms, porches and patios, especially if you also live by the beach or get a lot of humidity in your home or area.

Special types of ceiling fans are those that can be applied to both indoor and outdoor fans, which can be any of the following:

• Light kit ceiling fans are seen on most homes and can also act as a chandelier all in one. Some flush mount and downrod ceiling fans also have lights, so this is more of a general fan type. You can have the option to manually buy a light kit for this kind of ceiling fan or it comes along with the package. Some come with 2 to 3 lights while some come with just one.
• Energy Star rated ceiling fans are simply those that are 20% more efficient than normal fans because of their energy rating and their motor’s air flow. These kinds of ceiling fans offer you a better chance of reducing monthly costs for electricity, even on its highest speed. Most Energy Star rated fans are also light kit fans.
• Dual motor ceiling fans are special fans and can be made for industrial use or for special purposes. They can either be for indoor or outdoor use and they have two motors and sets of blades instead of just one. Most people just find them for decorative purposes but they are special and hard to find. They can also be called “dual head” ceiling fans.

When it comes down to control, there are also different kinds of ceiling fans to consider:

• Pull cord ceiling fans are mostly seen indoors, and are the most traditional of all types of fans. They can be easily switched between speeds using the pull cord mechanism. The downside to this is that not all people are tall enough to do so.
• Wall control ceiling fans are better, since you only need to use the switch on a wall to adjust the speed, much like how you would flip the switch of your room lighting. The downside, however, is the installation cost and hassle.
• Remote control ceiling fans are the most convenient of all, since you barely need to move a muscle to switch between fan speeds. The only downside is when you lose the remote – unless your ceiling fan has a manual pull cord or wall control alternative mechanism.

Note that some industrial ceiling fans can also qualify in any of these categories. Some industrial fans are suitable for indoors while some are for outdoors. However, you will rarely find flush mount fans for industrial use, since the ceilings are usually very high and require higher downrods.
Q: How is a single and a dual mount system different from each other when it comes down to ceiling fans?

A: Ceiling fans can be a single mount or a dual mount system, depending on how it was made and designed by the manufacturer:

• A single mount system will only use a downrod to attach the ceiling fan. It is the best recommended solution to those with medium to high ceilings of at least 8 feet and above.
• A dual mount system allows both a downrod and a hugger setting. You can have two options: install the ceiling fan with the downrod or use the hugger to directly set it onto the ceiling. It is ideal for low ceilings at 7 feet from above.

Q: What are the best recommendations for a ceiling fan installation depending on my ceiling type?

A: The type or height of ceiling that you have in your home or area can determine the right ceiling fan mounting system for you:

Ceiling Type	Installation
Low ceilings (7 feet)	Hugger and dual mount
Standard ceilings (8 feet)	Downrod or hugger
High ceilings (9+ feet)	Extension downrod
Angled ceilings	Vaulted adapter and extension downrod

Q: Is a ceiling fan better than an air conditioning unit?

A: To find out whether a ceiling fan is better than the air conditioning unit, here is a comparative table:

Criteria	Ceiling Fan	Air Conditioning Unit
Eco-friendly	Most ceiling fans are energy savers so they can be eco-friendly and can reduce your costs of electricity each month and every year.	Air conditioning units do also have certain energy saving modes, but the overall cost in A/C operation is still larger than that of a ceiling fan.
Design	Ceiling fans are usually attractive and can become an additive décor for your home to complement your other home items.	A/C units may get in the way of your home décor, unless you have a sleek and aesthetically pleasing unit, or install a low profile window type one.
Cooling power	Ceiling fans may not be that powerful enough to cool down a room.	A/C units are designed for the most powerful cooling capabilities.
Air circulation	Air circulation is pretty good with a ceiling fan, but it is not sufficient unless you have an A/C unit.	A/C units also provide good air circulation, but having a ceiling fan alongside it would be the best.
Air quality	Ceiling fans might not do well with air quality, since they only blow air and not necessarily filter it.	Most A/C units have an air filter within the unit so you can protect yourself against air allergens.
Humidity	Ceiling fans are the best if you want to retain moisture in your skin or environment, since they don’t dry your skin at all.	A/C units have the tendency to dry your skin, as compared to ceiling fans and all fan types.

Q: How does a ceiling fan compare with portable fan types?

A: A ceiling fan can be compared with portable fans, such as desk and floor fans, with the following criteria:

Criteria	Ceiling Fan	Portable Fans
All-season benefit	Ceiling fans can also be used during the winter to suck up the cold air and retain the heat in your home.	Portable fans do not have this functionality.
Types	Ceiling fans range from indoor, outdoor, industrial to commercial.	Portable fans range from stand fans, to desk fans, tower fans and others.
Energy Star	Nearly all ceiling fans are Energy Star rated, but this depends upon the manufacturer of the fan.	Not all fans are Energy Star rated, so it can be hard to find an energy saving portable fan.
Lighting	Ceiling fans have a lighting option.	Portable fans don’t have this option.
Portability and installation	Ceiling fan cannot be moved once they are fixed to the ceiling. They can also be tricky to install.	Portable fans are easy to install and to move around when needed.

Q: Which is more functional: a table fan or a ceiling fan?

A: That depends on many factors but generally, both table fans and ceiling fans have their own ways of being functional:

• Ceiling fans are great for living rooms and large areas that need general cooling. They add depth and less clutter to a small area with a tall ceiling height.
• Table fans are great for rooms that have more square feet but don’t have a high enough ceiling. They can also look cute and sleek at the same time, and provide an ample amount of cooling.

Q: How do ceiling fans benefit people?

A: A ceiling fan can have may benefits, such as the following:

• You can have lower electricity costs both in the summer and winter due to its reverse feature.
• Ceiling fans add a sense of style to any room.
• They may also have lighting so you can use them as chandeliers.
• You can also install them outdoors for cooling patios and porches.
• When installed outdoors, you can keep away insects and other hindrances in a covered spot.
• Ceiling fans also whisk away kitchen odors and drive away heat.

Q: Can industrial ceiling fans be controlled simultaneously?

A: A ceiling fan that is meant for industrial use can also be part of a plant automation system. Certain companies are already employing these wireless control systems from their device or touch screen panel to easily control all of the fans in one go.

Q: Can a ceiling fan replace a chandelier?

A: That depends on the lighting of the ceiling fan , as the lumens or light output should be measured. If it is anything above 800 watts then your ceiling fan can probably serve as a replacement for chandeliers. Otherwise, it can just be a supplemental lighting for your area.

Wrapping It Up

To sum it all up, the Emerson HF1160BQ Industrial is our best industrial ceiling fan due to its decently sized downrod, good airflow and coverage as well as its low drag design, which makes it more energy efficient in generating cool air.
