Maximise savings with high-tech and stylish fans




Big Ass Fans

Many homeowners are unaware that an air-conditioning system is not a necessary feature in every home. While some people still remember the old days of ineffective and unattractive fans that only circulated air in certain areas of the room, today’s ceiling fans are highly effective and stylish. They offer a compelling alternative to power-hungry cooling systems. As the cost of living, including electricity prices, continues to rise, it’s important to make smart spending choices and find ways to save.

One of the great things about modern high-tech fans is their ability to cool a space effectively while using only a fraction of the energy consumed by air-conditioning systems. This makes them both environmentally friendly and financially savvy additions to your home. Even if you already have air-conditioning installed, incorporating ceiling fans can significantly reduce the need for its constant use, resulting in long-term savings for both the environment and your bank account. This makes ceiling fans an ideal choice for environmentally conscious individuals.

If you’re considering ceiling fans, Haiku fans by Big Ass Fans are an excellent option. The company has invested extensive efforts in understanding the engineering of airflow products and creating energy-efficient solutions that deliver maximum impact. The Haiku fan features an efficient and whisper-quiet brushless DC motor, which generates powerful airflow while consuming minimal energy. Running a Haiku fan 24/7 costs an average of $14.88 per year, based on current energy prices, whereas air-conditioning units can cost upwards of $2505. In terms of maintenance, servicing a fan costs $110 annually compared to around $1200 for an air-conditioning unit. These savings are truly remarkable.

Equipped with cutting-edge built-in smart home technology, Haiku ceiling fans are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. They can be programmed to switch on and off at scheduled times, and their speed can be adjusted based on the number of people detected in the room. Available in 1.3m, 1.5m, and 2.1m diameters, the Haiku fan’s cleverly designed blades efficiently move a large volume of air, delivering a powerful cooling breeze even when the fan is set to a low speed, further reducing energy usage.

Crafted with premium materials, the Haiku fan boasts a sleek aesthetic and has won more than 75 international design awards. It is an ideal indoor feature fan for living rooms and master bedrooms, as well as an essential accessory for covered outdoor spaces. Depending on your ceiling height, you can choose the Haiku Universal Mount for ceilings between 3.2m and 4m, the Low-Profile Mount for low, flat ceilings between 2.4m and 3.4m, or specific optional drop-tube kits for pitched ceilings or heights outside of this range.

Rather than being a purely functional tool like older fans, the Haiku fan adds an elegant touch to your design aesthetic. It seamlessly blends in with five different finishes, available in sleek bamboo or aircraft-grade aluminium. You can even enhance your fan with an optional LED light for luxurious illumination, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for entertaining or relaxation. For added peace of mind, all Haiku ceiling fans for residential homes come with a five-year warranty for indoor fans and a three-year warranty for outdoor fans.
