how we can help


If we said we can show you how to save a $1.00 per SQFT on your next project would you put us to the test?

We have achieved roughly a 37 % cost savings on average using spiral static regain ductwork compared to rectangular ductwork.

In the last 18 months VariTRANE optimized spiral has saved $350,000 on 515,000 SF of buildings averaging $260/TON and $0.70/SF in first cost savings.”

The areas that we specialize in are:

  1. NEW CONSTRUCTION or RETROFIT
  2. DESIGN&BUILD or PLAN&SPEC ALTERNATE
  3. 25 TON SYSTEM or the LARGER THE BETTER
  4. ACTUAL DUCT DESIGN, SUPPORT & LOCAL TRAINING
  5. REDLINE  DRAWINGS
  6. COMPLETE SHOP DRAWING FOR INSTALLATION

Put us to the test. Send us your plans in PDF for review.

We do a one page summary preliminary estimate at no charge.
After discussing the preliminary estimate with us, you decide what’s next.

We can do redline sketch PDF drawings and VariTRANE calculations for about $0.30 per SF
The redlines have the details for you to do your usual ductwork drawings
and we will review your work for technical correctness.

At your choice, we do single line ductwork drawings for you in CAD format
for an add of $0.10 per sf using your VAV locations and supply cfm settings.
No BIM or REVIT, use our redlines to develop those types of plans in your house.

All terms are 50% down, balance due at delivery of redlines, NO accounts receivables.
