Big Ass Fans manufactures fans, lights and controls for industrial, commercial, agricultural and residential use, including the Big Ass Fans, Big Ass Light, and Haiku fan product lines.
In 1999, the Big Ass Fan Company was born. Kind of. Then called the HVLS Fan Co. (that’s High Volume, Low Speed—catchy, right?), they first made their mark selling massive ceiling fans that spun slowly but moved astounding amounts of air. The fans kept large spaces that lacked air conditioning, such as factories and dairy barns, feeling cool and comfortable—and soon enough, plenty of other customers wanted in. Things moved fast after that (and kept moving). Only a few years later, BigAssFans officially changed their name after customers kept calling and asking if they made “those big-ass fans.” When churches wanted to install fans to keep congregations comfortable, BigAssFans developed the first silent fan motor to meet their needs.
Big Ass created a residential fan that blew away ENERGY STAR® ratings and won awards worldwide. In 2014, BigAssFans had the bright idea to create an LED fixture made of heavy-duty anodized, extruded aluminum so it can handle whatever you can dish out, launching a division appropriately called Big Ass Light™.
Soon BigAssFans automated personal comfort by adding SenseME® technology to our residential fans. In 2016, we launched a new division—Haiku Home—to transform the home through cutting edge technology, iconic design and effortless conservation.
And “BigAssFans” backed everything with serious research, intensive engineering, and an almost obsessive drive to innovate and improve. No matter what we’re doing, we go Big Ass every single day, and “BigAssFans” is not stopping.
The company’s headquarters are in Lexington, Kentucky, with additional offices in Australia,Singapore,Malaysia and Canada.
