Got a quote on one of the smaller ones for our warehouse after i installed three 400k btu gas fired unit heathers. Couldn't believe the price! Very very nice units!
We ended up going with six 60" daton fans in their place.

I'm stuck.. I need a min of a 10 ton A/C unit and most mini splits stop at 5 tons so I'm looking at 2 sets.

I was helping a female friend of ours buy a car and the salesman took us on a tour of the facilities. As we walked through the shop I looked up and noted: "that's a big *** fan". He looked up and said "Uh, yeah it is big." Me: "No, it's a Big *** Fan" and pointed out the controller on the column which was clearly labeled as such. This guy lost all composure "HOLY F##K, it IS a Big *** Fan! I thought you were sh#ttn' me!" awkward pause "Oh, uh, I, uh, (composure regained) The customer service reps . . " The look on his face was priceless.

Holy moly ! that must be one "Big *** building". I have a 50x40x14 hangar and the 5 ton does a great job.

If it's not impolite to ask, how bad does the power bill hit you heating and cooling that size a building?

Quite all right. $ 4.00 per day.I have 3" insulation all around and roof. No windows. That is the price to run the hvac and all the other stuff in the garage.
If I run 15 days per month it is $ 60 , and that is the max , I set the t stat to 74. I like it cold in there. I dont run any fans.

It's about 100 Ft long and 42 ft wide and has a 27 Ft high ceiling.
my sales rep from BAF called me back today and we went over some stuff as he looked at the pictures I sent him, and will need 2 fans at the least to get good air flow.
now here is the crazy part.. for say having 400 people in a room is where the 10 ton AC unit would come from.. However the building was built in '63 and only has 200A service 120/208V so it looks like AC will be out of the question.

Do you know if the mount has a pivot ball for mounting on a vaulted ceiling or does it have to be horizontal?

Cool item and neat to see in person, but they have been around since 1999, not a big news item.

Lucas Oil stadium has them, minus the decal. We wouldn't want to offend anyone, would we.

Not sure what you are doing, but 400 persons in 2000 sq/ft is crazy, 5 sq/ft per person, but realistically and area about 24" square per person, Standing room only for sure.

They work on the “high volume, low velocity” idea.
Kind of like a weather mans “light breeze”
It works well, but the problem is making room for huge diameter they sweep!
You have to keep any lights above them, and no hung from the ceiling cords or hoses.
Have they stopped using “Refrigerator Perry” in the ads?
As a Bears fan I was glade to see him get an after football gig.

Rite Hite Revolution fans are better IMO. Much less strobing due to the fewer blades.
BAF had some fairly common motor failures when i worked on them 5-6 years back.

Better leaves each person just over 3ft x 3ft to stand in. Is the balcony capable of the weight.

Looks like Hunter Fans has a large 96" ceiling fan exclusive to Menard's at a little lower price point.

BAF is about 15 minutes from my house. The best part is seeing the name on the side of the building. It's right in the middle of a bunch of **** stores and gentleman's clubs...
