Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between commercial axial fans and industrial fans?
Commercial axial fans are designed for offices, restaurants, or retail spaces, where noise levels and aesthetics are important. They typically move air to improve comfort for people inside. Industrial fans on the other hand are built for rugged durability and high performance in more demanding environments like factories or warehouses. They often handle larger volumes of air and can cope with extreme conditions.

Are exhaust fans required in commercial bathrooms?
You’d have to check your local building code because regulations can vary, but yes, exhaust fans are generally required in commercial bathrooms. They help manage moisture and odors and keep the space comfortable and hygienic. Particularly, propeller fans and shutter fans play critical roles by keeping airflow efficient.

Are fans allowed in a commercial kitchen?
Fans are not only allowed, they’re essential in commercial kitchens! They’re used in ventilation systems to remove excess heat, steam, and cooking fumes.

How do I install a commercial exhaust fan?
First, find the spot where the fan’s going to be most effective. Then, secure the fan in place and make sure it's connected to the ductwork properly, wiring the fan according to manufacturer instructions and local codes.

How do I clean a commercial exhaust fan?
Make sure the power is off and remove the fan cover, along with any filters. Then, use a brush and a vacuum to remove loose debris from the blades and interior. Wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent and clean or replace any filters as needed before reassembling.
