In 1998 inventor Walter Boyd discovered that happy, comfortable cows produce more milk—sparking his invention of the High-Volume, Low-Speed (HVLS) ceiling fan. That innovation led to the launch of MacroAir Technologies and the birth of an entirely new HVLS industry. Walter’s son, Eddie Boyd, led the company for over 20 years before passing the baton to the third generation—his daughters, Jaylin and Sheila. Now at the helm, they’re expanding and refining the fan line to serve an even broader range of industrial, commercial, and residential spaces. Combining sleek aeronautical design with advanced blade and motor configurations, these HVLS fans deliver premium airflow and as the name implies, they move big air. What’s more impressive is these large diameter ceiling fans enhance comfort, improve air quality, help mitigate safety risk like floor condensations, and offer various aesthetics and benefits all while reducing HVAC dependency.
