Information
What is HVLS and Why is its Technology Revolutionary?
HVLS fans blanket a very large area with constantly moving air to create an expansive comfort zone. As a result, this large ceiling fan can create an evaporative cooling effect of 3 to 4 degrees Celsius throughout the facility.
HVLS Fans Can Be Used in Both Winter and Summer
Use your HVLS fan all year to save up to 25% on heating costs and up to 30% on cooling costs! Create a breeze with an evaporative cooling effect in the summer to make people feel up to 8°F cooler. On the other hand, in the winter months, your HVLS fan will push down the warm air from the ceiling to keep everyone warm in the winter months.
Winter usage (left): Slow-moving air column carries warm air from the ceiling down to floor level.
Summer usage (right): Large air column delivers a cooling breeze across the entire body.

Jazz Fans
Jazz Fans stress the strength of feeling comfort. An attractive fan, completely customizable in appearance, makes the desired achievable.
Traditional airfoils (or blades) are linear in design and produce greater noise at a particular frequency. Using varying points on the leading edge of the blade spreads the noise or acoustic signature over a greater range of frequencies, virtually eliminating any noise. In addition, the Jazz Fan diminishes the resistance against each blade, maximizing air movement and minimizing power consumption.
Alite 3 HVLS Fans
Impressive efficiency is possible by this 3-bladed design that minimizes weight while providing continuous air movement throughout the area of influence.

Customers That Love This Product
After the installation of a few HVLS Fans, we’ve seen a positive impact in equalizing temperatures throughout our facility which resulted in significant gas savings.
This past week with it being so cold we have noticed that the air barriers have stopped the cold from getting in and the fan keeping the warm air moving, allowed us to work in t-shirts because we are so comfortable.
Anthony Van Iersel, Warehouse Manager, Gem-Sen Distribution in Concord, OntarioWorking with Northern Dock Systems for installation of our HVLS [fan] has been a great experience for Corvex! From quotation to installation, Adam and his team provided excellent customer service and support.
