QUIRKY NAME 

The company’s massive ceiling fans first 

hit the market with the unremarkable 

brand name “HVLS Fan Company.” After 

years of customers referring to them 

as big-ass fans, the company adopted 

the name.

SERIOUS PRODUCTS

Big Ass Fans range in size from 5 to 24 

feet. They use energy-efficient motors 

and patented airfoil designs, which are 

inspired by airplane wings, to move large 

volumes of air quietly and efficiently.

Big Ass Light offers energy-efficient 

LED fixtures designed specifically to 

address shortcomings in industrial and 

commercial spaces.

also owns the world’s only research 

and development lab built specifically 

for testing large-diameter fans.
