MEMPHIS, TN (January 5, 2026) – Building on its enduring legacy of innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction since 1886, Hunter Fan Company, the leading manufacturer of ceiling fans, is proud to introduce its most advanced product series yet: ZenTech.

Part of the brand's HunterSMART™ portfolio, which sets a new standard for whole-home comfort, this dynamic new ceiling fan collection connects to major smart home systems for convenient voice and app control. ZenTech's compatibility, performance, and bold, modern design reflect the next generation of smart fixtures and the next era of innovation in the brand's 140-year history.

ENERGY STAR® certified and backed by the brand's SureSpeed® Guarantee, ZenTech delivers powerful airflow and superior energy efficiency for long-lasting cooling. Its groundbreaking design features the brand's most compact and whisper-quiet DC motor, 43% slimmer than previous models.

Its integrated color-changing lighting technology provides customizable settings with ten levels of brightness and ten color temperatures, allowing users to dim and shift between warm and cool light for any mood or moment.

"ZenTech, one of the first product collections in the new HunterSMART™ portfolio, represents a monumental step forward for Hunter Fan Company and the industry as a whole," said Tom Breeden, VP of Engineering. "We listened to what today's consumers want, a fan that doesn't compromise on design, functionality, or connectivity. ZenTech delivers all three, integrating our most advanced technology into an ultra-slim, ultra-efficient, and ultra-smart design that truly fits the way people live today."
