PROJECT DESCRIPTION: BIG ASS FANS INSTALLATION – ENGLEWOOD, FL
We recently completed the installation of industrial-grade Big Ass Fans at a commercial facility in Englewood, FL. These High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) fans are designed to drastically improve air circulation, employee comfort, and energy efficiency in large open spaces.
WHAT WE DID:
- Installed (2) Big Ass Fans, each 18-foot diameter, HVLS model, 3-phase power
- Used beam mounts with proper extension tubes to reach the target mounting height
- Brought in and operated a mechanical lift for safe installation at a 28’ ceiling
- Wired and terminated fans according to NEC and manufacturer specifications
- Installed wall-mounted control panels for easy operation and fan speed adjustment
- Coordinated delivery and staging of equipment ahead of time to minimize downtime
- Completed the project in a single overnight shift to avoid business disruption
THE RESULT:
The Englewood facility now enjoys consistent airflow throughout the workspace, helping reduce heat buildup and improve employee comfort. The Big Ass Fans run quietly, consume minimal energy, and are built for long-term industrial performance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long did the installation take?
The full project, including delivery, lift setup, fan mounting, and cleanup, was completed in just under 9 hours.
Why use Big Ass Fans instead of standard ceiling fans?
Big Ass Fans are engineered for large industrial and commercial spaces. Their HVLS design moves massive volumes of air at low speed, creating efficient cooling with lower energy usage compared to smaller fans.
Do these fans require special power?
Yes, the models installed were 3-phase, designed for industrial power systems. Coharbor Electric ensures all wiring and breaker sizing is code-compliant.
Was a lift required for installation?
Yes, the facility had nearly 28-foot ceilings. A lift was necessary for safe and efficient fan mounting.
Can the fans be controlled individually?
Yes, each fan has its own wall-mounted control for independent operation.
