How do I return a defective product?
If you are an authorized SPAL dealer, you may call our tech department at (800) 454-7725 and request a Return Authorization number. No returns are accepted without prior authorization.
Do you sell replacement parts for your fans?
The short answer is no. Every fan SPAL manufacturers is individually balanced three times during the production process. Once a component (blade, shroud or motor) is damaged, it cannot be replaced and maintain the high level of performance and efficiency expected of SPAL products.
Do you provide expedited shipping services?
Yes, we do. Both UPS and LTL carriers can deliver overnight to all locations in the continental U.S. Two day and three day service is available as well.
How do I identify if my fan is a "Pusher" or "Puller" fan?
In the fan VA number, the letter "A" or "S" identifies if a fan is a "pusher" or "puller" fan. "A" = Puller and "S" = Pusher. For instance, the 16" (30100357) fan VA number is "VA18-BP10/C-41S" indicating it is a "Pusher"
fan model.
What size of fan do I need?
A general guide to determining fan sizing can be found on our corporate website here.
Please note that unfortunately, not all fan models listed are available for aftermarket purchase. Please contact a SPAL sales representative at (800) 345-0327 to verify availability.

What is "Proposition 65"?
Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By requiring that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals.
Proposition 65 also prohibits California businesses from knowingly discharging significant amounts of listed chemicals into sources of drinking water.
Proposition 65 requires California to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 900 chemicals since it was first published in 1987.
Proposition 65 became law in November 1986, when California voters approved it by a 63-37 percent margin. The official name of Proposition 65 is the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.
