MRCOOL® CoolBlade HVLS Fan – Frequently Asked Questions

HVLS Fan FAQs, Installation & Buying Questions

What is an HVLS fan and how does it work?

An HVLS (High Volume, Low Speed) fan is a large-diameter industrial ceiling fan designed to move massive amounts of air at low rotational speeds. Instead of blasting air like small high-speed fans, HVLS fans gently circulate air across large spaces to improve comfort, reduce heat buildup, and enhance air mixing.

The MRCOOL® CoolBlade HVLS Fan uses an energy-efficient permanent magnetic synchronous motor and aerodynamic blades to move air efficiently with minimal noise.

How does MRCOOL CoolBlade compare to Big Ass Fans or other HVLS brands?

MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans offer comparable airflow, efficiency, and durability at a more accessible price point. They are designed to deliver industrial-grade performance without excessive branding premiums, making them a smart alternative to higher-cost HVLS fan brands.

What warranty is included?

MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans include a 2-year parts warranty, with technical support available.

What sizes are available for the MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fan?

The MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fan is available in multiple sizes, including:

  • 16-foot diameter
  • 24-foot diameter

Each size is engineered to cover a specific square footage efficiently, making it easier to choose the correct fan based on your space.

How much area can a MRCOOL HVLS fan cover?

Coverage depends on fan size:

  • 16 ft model covers approximately 1,640 sq ft
  • 24 ft model covers up to 5,577 sq ft

This makes MRCOOL CoolBlade fans a cost-effective alternative to installing multiple smaller ceiling fans.

Can an HVLS fan reduce air conditioning costs?

Yes. HVLS fans improve air circulation and destratification, helping conditioned air distribute more evenly throughout a space. This can reduce hot spots, improve comfort, and allow HVAC systems to operate more efficiently.

Many facilities use HVLS fans alongside HVAC systems to reduce energy usage.

How are MRCOOL HVLS fans controlled?

The MRCOOL CoolBlade fan includes a dedicated control system with:

  • Push-button speed control
  • Digital display
  • Electrical protection
  • IP66-rated protection for durability

Controls allow easy adjustment of fan speed to match comfort needs.

What safety features are included?

MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans include multiple safety features:

  • Reinforced magnesium alloy blades
  • Integrated motor bracket
  • Anti-falling expansion sleeve
  • Steel wire safety rope
  • Electrical overload protection

These features are designed to meet industrial safety expectations.

Is the MRCOOL CoolBlade fan DIY installable?

Yes. The MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fan is designed for straightforward installation, especially when paired with proper mounting structure and electrical access. A step-by-step installation video is provided to guide you through the process.

However, due to the size and weight of HVLS fans, professional assistance or lifting equipment may be required.

What electrical requirements are needed?

MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans operate on:

  • Single-phase 220–240V power
  • 50/60 Hz

Electrical hookup should comply with local electrical codes. While the fan itself is DIY-friendly, electrical connection may require a licensed electrician depending on local regulations.

What ceiling height is required for installation?

HVLS fans typically require higher ceilings than standard residential fans. Recommended ceiling height varies by fan size and application, but most installations require high-ceiling or open-structure spaces to ensure proper airflow and safety clearance.

Always verify mounting height requirements before installation.

What mounting options are supported?

MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans can be mounted to:

  • I-beams
  • Square steel structures
  • Concrete ceilings

Each fan includes reinforced mounting hardware and safety components designed for industrial applications.

How loud is the MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fan?

Despite their size, MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans operate quietly. Noise levels are approximately 38 dB, making them suitable for occupied workspaces, gyms, and residential-adjacent buildings where noise matters.

How energy efficient are MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans?

MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans are extremely energy efficient. They move large volumes of air using low-speed, high-efficiency motors, resulting in significantly lower energy consumption compared to traditional industrial fans or multiple small fans.

Many users experience improved comfort while reducing overall cooling costs.

What spaces are MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans designed for?

MRCOOL CoolBlade HVLS fans are ideal for:

  • Warehouses
  • Workshops and fabrication shops
  • Garages and automotive facilities
  • Barns and agricultural buildings
  • Gyms and sports facilities
