Keeping the Mechanics Cool

Let's face it. Working in your service center is no day at the spa. It’s tough to hang on to good employees when hot, humid and stagnant air make your technicians miserable.

A technician’s capacity for mental and physical work is vastly impacted by climate. High temperatures can lead to inattentiveness and negatively affect one’s accuracy, particularly their perceptual and psychomotor activities (*Lee 1963). An increase in errors and mistakes means an increase in accidents and customer dissatisfaction.

Air conditioning isn’t typically a cost effective solution, and comfort must be controlled in these environments to mitigate the costly mistakes. Big Ass Fans are proven to lower effective temperatures by 10 degrees, boosting comfort and, in turn, productivity.

Although we know that bigger is usually better, we understand one size doesn’t fit all. While Powerfoil^®X2.0 and AirGo^® are perfect for large applications, check out the new Yellow Jacket^® for low-ceiling auto service bays and the silent, stylish Element and Isis for large showrooms. Need an airflow solution for smaller spaces? Haiku is a perfect fit in compact offices and meeting rooms. So when Mother Nature turns up the heat on your technicians, staff and customers, take her on with a fully customizable line of air movers courtesy of Big Ass Fans.
