Why Does Commercial Ductwork Matter?
Commercial ductwork matters because it is what distributes conditioned air through the building. The plant produces the cooling or the heat; the sheet metal ductwork decides how much of it reaches the floor where people are working.
Ductwork that is damaged, poorly designed or badly installed undermines the whole system. A business can have entirely adequate plant and still have an uncomfortable building, and the ductwork is often why.
What Ductwork Services Do You Handle?
We handle sheet metal ductwork fabrication and installation, both in-house. Ductwork made for the building rather than adapted to it fits the space it has to run through.
Fabrication
Sheet metal ductwork made to suit the building, rather than standard sections forced through a space that was never designed for them.
Installation
Fitting the run so it delivers what the plant produces, the part of the job that decides whether the design works in practice.
We also handle commercial ventilation and the cooling and heating plant the ductwork serves, so the distribution and the equipment are not two separate conversations.
How Does Ductwork Affect a Workplace?
Ductwork decides whether conditioned air actually arrives where people are working, which is what a comfortable and productive environment depends on. That is a distribution problem as much as an equipment one, and it is the part of the system least often examined.
When one part of a building is never right while the plant is clearly running, the ductwork is the first thing worth looking at.

Why here is different
Why Does Ductwork Work Harder Here?
A long cooling season means the ductwork in a New Orleans building carries conditioned air for far more of the year than the same run would further north, and much of that run sits in unconditioned space.
More hours carrying more
Every hour the plant runs, the ductwork is working. In a climate with a long cooling season, that is most of the year rather than part of it.
Unconditioned space is hostile
Runs through roof spaces and service chases sit in heat and humidity for months. That is harder on a duct run than a route inside the conditioned envelope.
Buildings get repurposed
Adaptive reuse is common in New Orleans, where older buildings are regularly put to a new use. Ductwork designed for the previous use often does not suit the new one, which is where fabrication earns its place.

Questions we get asked
What Else Do Businesses Ask About Ductwork?
What is sheet metal ductwork?
Sheet metal ductwork is the metal ducting that distributes conditioned air through a building. It is fabricated from sheet metal to suit the run it has to make, rather than assembled from standard parts that may not fit the space it has to pass through.
Do you fabricate as well as install?
Yes, we do both. Fabricating the sheet metal ductwork ourselves is what lets it suit the building, instead of the building having to accommodate standard sections. Making it and fitting it are handled as one job by the same people.
Why is my building uncomfortable when the plant works?
The ductwork is frequently the reason. The plant produces the conditioned air; the ducts decide how much of it reaches the floor where people are. Adequate equipment paired with poor distribution produces exactly that complaint, so the run is worth examining before the plant is.
Can you work on ductwork in an existing building?
Yes, and adapted buildings are a common case in New Orleans. Ductwork designed for a building's previous use often does not suit its new one, which is when fabrication rather than repair tends to be the answer.
Does ductwork affect running costs?
Yes, because a run that is losing air makes the plant work longer to deliver the same result in the building. How much that matters for a specific property depends on the condition and the layout of the run, so it is worth measuring rather than guessing.
Do you handle ventilation too?
Yes. We install and service ventilation systems as well as the cooling and heating plant the ductwork serves, so it is one conversation rather than three. It also means the ducts are specified against the plant they have to carry air from.
Do you do residential ductwork as well?
Yes. Our residential air ducts page covers the home side, including insulation, testing, cleaning, and sealing the joints while we are in there. The work described on this page is commercial fabrication and installation for business buildings.
How do I book a ductwork estimate?
