Ion Technology
Ions are naturally occurring electrically charged particles. Our fans – armed with our bipolar ionization units – create massive amounts of ions and distribute them rapidly through powerful airflow – all without producing any harmful ozone.^
How it Works
Our proprietary bipolar ionizer generates millions of ions per minute
Ions attach and destroy pathogens*
Our fans rapidly deliver ions where your people are
*The Big Ass Fans Clean Air System Ion Generator 1kills >90% of viruses on surfaces in 30 minutes and kills >99.9% of viruses on surfaces in 60 minutes; 2kills >96% of bacteria and fungi on surfaces in 60 minutes; and 3kills >97% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the air in 30 minutes and kills >99.99% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the air in 60 minutes. Testing based on 1 virus testing includes Equine Herpesvirus, Influenza A virus, Influenza B virus, Rhinovirus, and SARS-CoV-2; 2 bacteria testing includes Escherichia coli, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Streptococcus equi; and fungi testing includes Aspergillus niger; and 3 virus testing in air includes SARS-CoV-2.
Rapid Delivery.
Maximum Effectiveness.
An ion’s lifetime is only about 30 seconds. This means that ions need to be delivered quickly to the air and surfaces where people live and work. Rather than concealing ionizers within ductwork like some systems, Big Ass Fans integrates ionizers into our fans to distribute ions quickly.

Airflow is What Sets Us Apart
Ion Technology
Big Ass fans integrated ionizers distribute ions directly to your people
Big Ass Fans’ ion system is installed into occupied spaces for effective in-room antimicrobial activity.
Big Ass Fans provides higher in-room levels of ions compared to HVAC output.
Competitors
Competitive units that conceal ionizers within the ductwork make it harder to distribute ions into the occupied space.
Many competitive units rely on HVAC to distribute the ions, meaning that your HVAC must be running to provide antimicrobial activity.
Most competitors do not provide commissioning service to verify ion levels in the occupied space.
UVGI Technology
UV light has been a scientifically proven technology for over 70 years. By incorporating UVGI (UV-C) technology with our fans, we are able to move pathogens* through the upper-room – continuously returning the air where it’s needed most – to the people below.
How it Works
Our fans circulate air through the upper-room
UV-C rays in the upper-room kill pathogens**
The fan returns air to the occupants below
Technology You Can See
Our fans with UV-C technology have an integrated light that glows to let you know that it’s working.

Airflow is What Sets Us Apart
UV-C Technology
Big Ass fans circulate air through the upper-room where UV-C fixtures are present.
LED indicator lights illuminate to show that the fan is killing pathogens.**
Big Ass Fans’ UV-C system produces more dilution airflow than a typical commercial HVAC system.
Competitors
Competitors’ in-duct systems with UV-C must continuously run to clean occupied spaces.
In-duct systems use UV-C within the ductwork, not in the rooms where people interact.
In-duct UV-C applications are limited by the airflow delivered by the HVAC system.
