Balancing Your Building's Breathing
Every time air gets exhausted from your space, it needs to be replaced. That’s where makeup air units come in—delivering fresh, conditioned air to maintain proper building pressure and indoor air quality.
Our Makeup Air Solutions
- Direct-Fired Units – Energy-efficient heating for large volumes.
- Indirect-Fired Units – Clean heating for sensitive environments.
- Electric Heat Options – Precise temperature control.
- Cooling Capable Systems – Year-round comfort in any climate.
Why Makeup Air Matters?
- Pressure Problems Solved
Without makeup air, exhaust fans create negative pressure. Doors become hard to open, outside air sneaks in through cracks, and your HVAC system fights a losing battle. - Energy Waste Prevention Unconditioned air infiltrating through gaps costs money to heat or cool. Makeup air units deliver tempered air exactly where needed
Unconditioned air infiltrating through gaps costs money to heat or cool. Makeup air units deliver tempered air exactly where needed. - Code Compliance
Many jurisdictions require makeup air when exhaust exceeds certain volumes. We ensure your system meets all building codes. - Improved Comfort
Proper air balance eliminates drafts, cold spots, and the stuffy feeling that comes from inadequate ventilation.
