Benefits of Using Garage Fans
Why do you need a fan for your garage? We're glad you asked!
Improved Air Circulation
Proper airflow distributes fresh air throughout the space, reducing the buildup of stale air and pollutants. This is a big plus if you use your garage as a hobby space or workshop where fumes and dust can accumulate.
Year-Round Comfort
Installing a fan in your garage improves air circulation to create a healthier, more comfortable environment, ensuring your garage remains a safe and pleasant space regardless of the season.
Prevention of Moisture Buildup
Moisture buildup in garages can lead to several problems, such as mold growth, rusty equipment and tools, and damage to stored items. Fans help reduce humidity levels by promoting better air exchange, which is vital for preventing condensation and moisture-related problems. It's also clutch in garages where cars are stored because vehicles bring in moisture from rain and snow.
How To Choose a Fan for Your Garage
The type of fan you choose for your garage will be based on what features matter to you most. Here are a few examples.
- Control Pests and Odors Year Round: You can create all-season usability by choosing an HVLS fan, which provides constant airflow. Based on your space, the perfect option may be our XP HVLS fan with 7-foot blades.
- Staying Dry: If you're storing cars, woodworking, or using your garage as a gym, Hunter Air Circulators or Jan Fans are good choices. A Jan Fan filter is available for models with 20", 24", and 30" blades.
- Remote Control Options: Our HVLS fans (excluding the DDI) can be installed along with a digital wall mount controller with environmental sensors that automatically adjust for heat, humidity, and moisture.
Types of Garage Fans
There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all garage fan. Based on the size of your garage and the type of work you're doing, you may be able to get by with one air circulator, or you may need multiple units working together – a large fan for the garage, a drum fan, and a Jan Fan to mount on the wall. Here's a breakdown of each type of garage fan:
- HVLS Fans: High-Volume, Low-Speed ceiling fans are built to provide outstanding air movement in large spaces. If you have a big facility with high ceilings, you likely need an HVLS industrial fan for the garage. HVLS fans have a direct-drive motor for year-round usage. They come in multiple blade sizes and control options, so it's easy to find the best one for your space. HVLS fans include the Titan, Eco, XP, and DDI.
- Commercial Trak Fans: These modern ceiling fans are available in four sizes with an optional LED light and three control options. The Trak commercial ceiling fan has an 8-speed, reversible motor that provides solid air circulation and consistent airflow in larger spaces in every season.
- Jan Fan Air Circulators: These are some of the most trusted and energy-efficient fans available. Jan Fans have become the standard in automotive applications, providing outstanding performance. You can mount a Jan Fan on an I-beam, wall, or ceiling – or let it move the air around the room from its pedestal.
- Drum Fan Air Circulators: These powerful fans give you concentrated airflow wherever you need it. The drum fan's sturdy wheels let you move this garage floor fan from place to place so you can circulate air in any space, large or small.
- Pedestal Fan Air Circulators: Stay comfy with classic-style pedestal fans. Whether you choose a stationary pedestal fan or one that oscillates, you'll enjoy the welcoming blast of air in sticky, hot weather. An oscillating fan moves from side-to-side to move air over a broader area.
- Orbital Wall Fan Air Circulator: This wall-mounted orbital fan makes a great garage fan, especially when space is limited – as anyone who's tripped over a garage floor fan will tell you. It has a surprisingly powerful output and quiet operation.
- Residential Fans: Our collection of residential ceiling fans includes popular styles such as modern, industrial, and farmhouse, ensuring you’ll find the perfect fan to suit your space. Opt for ceiling fans equipped with remote controls, wall controls, or SIMPLEconnect® technology, allowing you to easily adjust your fan and lighting with just a touch.
