The garage–it's the one part of the house where you probably don't have heating and cooling, but it is also serves as an important housing space for your vehicle, tools, and other items. While your idea of a solution during hot weather may be to pick up a regular fan at the local department store, it is a much better idea to spring for an industrial model. These fans are available through industrial equipment and supply stores and are well worth the investment for your garage. Here's a look at a few reasons why it is a smart move to buy an industrial fan for this part of your home.
Industrial fans are powerful enough to circulate air through the whole space.
When you buy a regular box fan or a stand fan at a department store, the reach of said fan will likely be limited to only a small area. Your garage could easily be substantially sized, which means a regular fan will barely put a dent in the heat and stuffiness in the summer. An industrial fan, on the other hand, is designed with a more powerful motor and larger fan blades so they are capable of distributing air further.
Industrial fans stand up better to a garage environment.
If you spend much time working in your garage, whether it is woodwork, painting, or otherwise, there can be a lot of contaminants and debris floating around in the air. This debris can get trapped in the motor of a regular fan and cause it to fail pretty quickly. Industrial fans are often built with screened protectors and heavy motors so they can better function in an environment where there is a lot of contamination in the air. So you will not have to worry about investing in one of these fans and seeing it fail soon after.
Industrial fans can be mounted for a better fit in your garage.
Regular fans pretty much just sit on a shelf or stand on the ground. This is not ideal in a space where you need room to move your vehicle and move around yourself. Industrial fans often come with mounting brackets so they can be mounted either from the wall or from a beam on the ceiling. Therefore, the fan is kept up off of the floor and out of the way so you don't have to be worried about it.
