What we install

The portable units we rent (and the rest of our lineup)

We're an authorized Hydromist dealer working from a full catalog of commercial-grade fans, pumps, lines, and portable units. Below is a sample of the sizing options — every install is custom-quoted to your space.

Every install is custom-quoted. Component sizing depends on your space, number of seats, water source, and how you plan to use the system — that's what your free estimate is for.

Our process

How event & rental fans works with Big Tex

  1. 1

    Tell Us About Your Event

    Date, location, headcount, and indoor/outdoor setup. We'll recommend how many units you need based on the space and expected weather.

  2. 2

    Reserve Your Dates

    We hold the units for your event window. A small deposit confirms the booking. Peak summer weekends fill up — book early.

  3. 3

    Delivery or Pickup

    We deliver, set up, and demo the units the day of your event (or you can pick up from us if you're nearby and want to save the delivery fee).

  4. 4

    Cool Event, Easy Return

    Just plug in, fill the tank, and run. After the event we coordinate pickup. No cleanup required on your end.

Common questions

Event & Rental Fans FAQs

How much area does one portable misting fan cool?

A single self-contained portable unit comfortably cools a 200–300 sq ft area — perfect for a bar area, a ceremony seating section, or a small backyard gathering. For larger events, we typically recommend one unit per ~250 sq ft of seating.

How long do the portable units run on one tank of water?

On the lowest mist setting, a full tank runs roughly 4–6 hours. On full output, expect 2–3 hours. We can swap or refill tanks at large events on request.

Do you offer same-week rentals?

Yes, subject to availability. Peak summer weekends fill up early — book 2–3 weeks ahead if possible. Weekday and last-minute rentals are usually easier to accommodate.

Do rentals require power and water on-site?

Just standard 110V power (a regular outlet). Water tanks are self-contained, so you don't need a hose hookup unless your event runs longer than the tank capacity.

Can I rent for a multi-day event?

Yes — we offer weekly and event-window rates that are significantly cheaper than per-day stacking. Tell us your dates and we'll quote the right package.
