Using the HVLS fan is a cost-effective and reliable solution for ventilation of large areas. You need to use fewer giant leading-edge industrial and commercial ceiling fans as compared to traditional powerful fans. The power consumption per unit area of HVLS fans is much lesser than other types of fans. It is because you only install a few units of HVLS fans for a large area. While there could be hundreds of units if you would have chosen other fans. Thus, HVLS fans use very less amount of electricity per unit area as compared to other fans.
