Applying for capital expenditure (Capex) can sometimes feel like a losing game. You’ve done your research, identified a piece of machinery that will boost productivity, and you are ready to level up your business. But then the financial decision-makers step in, and the process slows to a crawl – or worse, stalls completely.

Capex decisions involve significant investment, and stakeholders need clear evidence that the purchase will deliver measurable returns. So, coming to the table armed with data and clear ROI projections is critical.

Leverage the Government’s Investment Boost

Looking for another advantage in your corner? The Investment Boost, introduced as the centrepiece of the Government’s Budget 2025 incentivises businesses looking to invest in productive assets such as machinery, tools, and equipment.

Backed by the philosophy that economic growth has a flow on effect that improves living conditions for all Kiwi’s, the incentive allows businesses to deduct 20% of a new asset’s value from that year’s taxable income, on top of normal depreciation.

What Makes HVLS Ceiling Fans a Compelling Capex Investment

High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) fans aren’t just another piece of machinery; they’re efficiency engines. By destratifying air and distributing it evenly throughout large spaces, they help reduce overall HVAC load, cutting energy costs significantly - up to 30% on cooling bills alone in warehouse environments.

By maintaining consistent temperatures, HVLS fans reduce strain on heating and cooling equipment year-round. This results in fast payback periods (often under two years in facilities with high roof spaces) and measurable annual savings that can be confidently used in ROI projections.

Boost Productivity Through Comfort

Unlike many airflow options, HVLS fans don’t produce disruptive gusts of air, but rather a gentle, consistent airflow. This ensures improved employee comfort, reduced heat-related fatigue, and eliminates pockets of hot and cold air.

On a human level, HVLS fans support safer, more productive working environments. From a capital investment perspective, this translates into quantifiable productivity gains. By including a modest productivity uplift in your Capex model, you can strengthen the business case beyond energy savings.
