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.
