In today’s fast-paced world, efficiency and comfort are key. Southwest Solutions Group (SSG) is excited to offer air curtains, High-Volume Low-Speed (HVLS) fans, and infrared heaters—innovative tools designed to boost productivity and comfort in your facility. Discover how these energy-saving solutions can transform your environment into a more efficient and welcoming space! 

Air Curtains - The Invisible Barrier That Works Wonders 

Imagine an invisible yet powerful barrier, keeping the indoor and outdoor environments separate without disrupting foot traffic. SSG’s air curtains do just that. These devices create a continuous cool air barrier across open doorways, promoting energy efficiency while maintaining indoor temperatures and cleanliness.

How Air Curtains Work 

Air curtains generate a steady flow of air over a doorway, acting as a protective layer against external elements. Heated or unheated, this airflow keeps conditioned air inside, helping you cut down on heating and cooling expenses. Creating a cost-effective and environmentally friendly addition to your facility. 

Why Choose Air Curtains? 

Save on Energy: Air curtains help keep conditioned air inside, allowing you to cut down on heating and cooling expenses. This means your HVAC systems won’t have to work as hard, helping you reduce energy consumption and save money over time. 

Keep Pests Out: Acting as an invisible shield, air curtains prevent insects and other pests from entering through open doors, which is especially beneficial in environments that require strict cleanliness, such as food storage or healthcare facilities. This added layer of defense helps maintain a healthier, more hygienic space without the need for chemicals or physical barriers. 

Control Dust and Condensation: By blocking the influx of outside air, air curtains help control dust and moisture levels, which can be a challenge in open-door environments. Reducing dust buildup and condensation improves indoor air quality and protects equipment and inventory from potential damage, creating a safer and cleaner workspace. 

Ideal Uses for Air Curtains 

  • Grocery Stores: Keep cold air in and warm air out for improved food preservation. 
  • Cold Storage: Maintain temperatures, reduce energy use, and minimize frost buildup. 
  • High-Speed Doors: Add a layer of temperature control for areas with frequent door openings. 
  • Warehouse Doorways: Perfect for wide entrances, preventing pest entry and stabilizing temperature. 

HVLS Fans - Big Comfort for Big Spaces 

If you manage a large facility, SSG’s HVLS fans are a must-have for cost-effective air circulation. They move a substantial volume of air at a low speed, making them ideal for large industrial and commercial spaces needing consistent air movement.

Top Features of SSG’s HVLS Fans 

Quiet Operation: Designed to move large volumes of air without creating a lot of noise, HVLS fans provide powerful airflow while keeping sound levels low. This makes them ideal for environments where maintaining a quiet atmosphere is crucial, like office spaces, libraries, or healthcare facilities, allowing people to work or communicate comfortably. 

Energy Efficiency: HVLS fans improve airflow across large spaces, circulating air evenly and reducing the need for constant heating or cooling. By distributing air efficiently, these fans lighten the load on HVAC systems, helping facilities reduce energy consumption and operational costs over time. 

Customizable Options: With sizes from 8 to 24 feet, SSG’s HVLS fans can be tailored to fit spaces of all kinds, from small warehouses to expansive manufacturing floors. Choose from a variety of colors and even add your company logo to the fan faceplates, allowing you to seamlessly integrate branding into your facility’s infrastructure for a polished, professional look.  

Energy and Cost Savings with HVLS Fans 

By improving air circulation, HVLS fans help you maintain comfortable temperatures across large areas without overworking your HVAC system. And with prices for our 24-foot fans starting around $4,500, these fans are a cost-effective investment for long-term savings. 

Infrared Heaters - Heat Where You Need It When You Need It 

SSG’s infrared heaters provide a unique, efficient way to heat large open spaces. Unlike traditional methods, these heaters work by warming objects and people directly—much like the sun—ensuring warmth reaches where it’s most needed without wasting energy.

Key Benefits of Infrared Heaters 

Efficiency in Heating: Infrared heaters provide targeted heating by directly warming specific objects and people, rather than wasting energy on the surrounding air. This approach minimizes energy waste, making them an eco-friendly option that can help significantly lower overall heating costs in large, open spaces. 

Quick Recovery: In areas with high traffic, like loading docks and warehouse doors, infrared heaters quickly bring temperatures back to a comfortable level, even after doors are frequently opened. This fast response helps maintain a stable indoor climate and reduces the time and energy needed to reheat the space, enhancing both comfort and efficiency. 

Create Heating Zones: Infrared heaters allow you to set up different heating zones within a single large area, focusing warmth exactly where it’s needed without physical barriers. This zoning capability makes it easy to keep specific areas comfortable—such as workstations or high-traffic areas—without overusing energy in less populated sections of the space.  

Applications of Infrared Heaters 

  • Warehouses: Keep large areas warm without high utility bills. 
  • Loading Docks: Maintain comfort with fast recovery after doors open. 
  • Automotive Shops: Efficiently heat expansive manufacturing areas. 
  • Military Installations: Reliable heating for diverse facility needs.
