Year-round Energy Savings
Overhead Big Ass Fans work with your HVAC to provide significant energy savings.
In summer, the fans’ cooling effect means the A/C can be set several degrees higher.
In winter, fans push the heat down from the ceiling, so your heater runs less, leading to savings as high as 30 percent.
Unrivaled Warranties
Industry-leading full 15-year mechanical and 7-year electrical warranty comes standard with PFX3. Optional extension to electrical warranty is available.
Big Ass Fans handles all warranties without redirecting you to component manufacturers. We make it, we sell it, we install it and we guarantee it.
SmartSense
SmartSense is an automated system with three user modes: Winter, Summer and Manual.
Winter Mode: Automatically adjusts speed to minimize temperature differential between the floor and ceiling
Summer Mode: Increases fan speed as the floor-level temperature rises
Manual Mode: Takes the system off autopilot and gives the user full control of fan operation
Standard SmartSense control system automatically adjusts for 24/7 comfort.
Pushes air at an angle, moving it over and around obstructions
Unique, aerodynamic airfoil and winglet design enhances both energy efficiency and airflow by eliminating turbulence at the airfoil tips

The standard colours for Powerfoil X3.0 are silver and yellow. Want something different? You can individualize your fan with one of our 8 classic colour upgrades, or work with our design consultants to create a shade that’s all your own.
Powerfoil X3.0’s available occupancy sensor uses passive infrared technology to detect motion and automatically turn your fan on or off. The sensor returns the fan to its previous speed setting when you enter the space and shuts the fan off after a user-specified period of inactivity.
Convenient, hands-free operation
Automatic energy savings
Compatible with standard and premium controller options
Colour Customization
We like to think every one of our fans is an eye-catching centerpiece. But if you’d like your Powerfoil X3.0 to be something other than the standard silver and yellow, upgrade with any of our 8 classic colours, or specify one of your own. We can paint your fan any colour in, over and beyond the rainbow.
