Shop/Garage Fans
Frequently Asked Questions
What size fan do I need for my garage?
For a one- to two-car garage, an 18- to 20-inch high-CFM wall or ceiling fan moves enough air to keep the space comfortable. For larger shops or open bays, step up the fan size or add a second unit. MULE garage fans move up to 5,400 CFM on high.
Are MULE garage fans loud?
No. MULE garage fans are engineered for strong airflow at lower noise. The Model 52010 runs at 59.9 dB on low, close to normal conversation level, while still moving high CFM.
Do MULE garage fans need to be hardwired?
Most MULE garage fans plug into a standard 110V outlet with an 8-foot cord, so there is no hardwiring and no electrician required. Screw in the mount, plug it in, and turn it on.
Can a garage fan be mounted on the wall or the ceiling?
Both. MULE offers wall- and post-mount garage fans for aiming a focused breeze across a workbench or bay, and ceiling-mount fans for cooling the whole space from above.
Will a garage fan help with dust and fumes?
Yes. High-CFM airflow keeps air moving, which helps clear dust, fumes, and humidity from a garage or workshop and keeps the space more comfortable to work in.
Are MULE garage fans wet-rated?
Yes. MULE garage and shop fans are wet-rated, so they stand up to humidity, moisture, and the rougher conditions of a working garage, and they can move outdoors when needed. They're dust-proof too: the sealed motor does double duty, keeping out both moisture and the fine dust that builds up in a working shop, so the fan stays cleaner and lasts longer.
