About BigFanAir.com.au
Passionate about keeping Australian businesses cool since 2019
Our Story
BigFanAir.com.au was born from a simple frustration: finding reliable, Australia-specific information about industrial cooling solutions was nearly impossible. When our founding team members were tasked with specifying cooling systems for a major warehouse expansion in Western Sydney, they discovered that most available information was either outdated, written for overseas markets, or thinly veiled sales pitches from equipment vendors.
That experience sparked an idea. What if there was a dedicated resource where Australian facility managers, operations directors, and business owners could find genuinely helpful, unbiased information about industrial cooling? A place where the unique challenges of the Australian climate—from the scorching summers of the Northern Territory to the humid conditions along the Queensland coast—were actually addressed rather than glossed over with generic advice?
We launched BigFanAir.com.au in 2019 with a clear mission: to become Australia's most trusted resource for industrial and commercial cooling information. Our team brings together professionals with backgrounds spanning HVAC engineering, facility management, industrial operations, and building services. Between us, we've specified cooling solutions for distribution centres handling millions of dollars in temperature-sensitive inventory, manufacturing plants where worker comfort directly impacts productivity, and agricultural facilities where proper air circulation protects valuable livestock and crops.
What sets us apart is our hands-on approach. We don't just read manufacturer specifications and regurgitate them—we visit facilities, speak with the maintenance teams who work with these systems daily, and follow up with businesses months after installation to understand how products perform in real-world conditions. We've crawled through roof spaces to inspect HVLS fan mounting systems, stood on warehouse floors during 45-degree summer days to feel the difference various fan configurations make, and pored over energy bills to verify claimed savings.
Our content philosophy is simple: every piece we publish must genuinely help Australian businesses make better decisions. We don't accept payment for positive reviews, we clearly disclose our affiliate relationships, and we're not afraid to point out when a product isn't suitable for certain applications—even if it means walking away from potential commissions. Our readers trust us because we've earned that trust through years of honest, thorough, and practical advice.
Today, BigFanAir.com.au serves thousands of Australian businesses each month, from small workshops looking for their first industrial fan to multinational corporations standardising cooling solutions across their Australian facilities. We're proud that many of our readers return again and again, and that facility managers recommend us to their colleagues. That word-of-mouth endorsement means more to us than any metric.
As we look to the future, we're committed to expanding our coverage as new technologies emerge. From smart building integration to solar-powered cooling solutions, we'll continue providing the in-depth, Australia-focused guidance that our readers have come to expect. Whether you're cooling a 50,000-square-metre distribution centre or a small suburban workshop, we're here to help you make the right choice for your specific situation.
What We Stand For
Independence
We're not owned by any manufacturer or distributor. Our recommendations are based solely on what's best for Australian businesses, not sales commissions or vendor relationships.
Accuracy
Every specification, energy consumption figure, and performance claim in our guides is verified against manufacturer data and, where possible, real-world testing in Australian conditions.
Practical Focus
We write for facility managers and business owners who need actionable information. No academic jargon or theoretical discussions—just practical guidance you can use today.
Australian Context
From electrical standards to climate considerations, everything we publish is specifically tailored for Australian businesses operating in Australian conditions.
Our Team
Our editorial team combines expertise across multiple disciplines essential to industrial cooling. Our contributors include licensed HVAC engineers with experience in commercial building services, facility managers who have overseen cooling systems in major Australian logistics operations, and industry analysts who track developments in cooling technology worldwide.
We also maintain relationships with installation professionals, maintenance technicians, and building consultants across Australia. This network ensures we understand not just how products perform on paper, but how they hold up in the field—and what common issues arise during installation and ongoing operation.
Every guide published on BigFanAir.com.au undergoes technical review to ensure accuracy and practical relevance. We believe our readers deserve content created by people who genuinely understand the challenges of keeping Australian facilities cool.
