Supporting Local Community Facilities with Smart Electrical Solutions
In January, the VDW Electrical team completed a major fan installation at the Eaton Recreation Centre for the Shire of Dardanup. The centre’s indoor basketball courts were experiencing poor airflow and uncomfortable heat during peak usage. Our goal was to create a more comfortable, energy-efficient environment for players, staff, and spectators.
This project reflects the kind of large-scale, community-focused work we regularly complete across the South West.
This was a high-capacity fan designed for industrial and sporting spaces, requiring careful planning and coordination with the centre to minimise disruption during the installation.
Why Large-Scale Ceiling Fans Work in Indoor Sports Venues
Indoor sports facilities often face heat buildup and ventilation issues. High ceilings and open layouts mean standard fans or air conditioning alone may not be enough.
Installing a large commercial ceiling fan provides several benefits:
Improved Airflow Across Large Areas
A fan of this size moves a high volume of air, helping maintain even airflow throughout the court.
Reduced Heat and Humidity
Cooler air circulation improves comfort for players and staff during games and training sessions.
Lower Energy Demand
By improving airflow, large fans reduce the workload on air conditioning systems, which can lead to long-term energy savings.
Better Year-Round Usability
Enhanced ventilation keeps the space more comfortable throughout all seasons.
