Transformative Power of Air…

…is what we believe in at Nortek Air Solutions. Every day, each of us breath 23,000 times.  As much as we depend on air, it is often the one most taken for granted. For the nearly 2,000 passionate entrepreneurs at Nortek Air Solutions, it’s at the heart of everything we do. We believe in the transformative power of air and creating a safer, healthier, and more productive world together.

Knockdown Construction…

Nortek Air Solutions specializes in knockdown air handling units that are perfect for new, replacement and retrofit applications facing space and access limitations as well as constraints on installation time and cost. Offering an innovative way to replace existing AHUs in hard-to-reach places, our knockdown AHUs are built with components that have been custom-sized to meet the access and space requirements of your project.

Retrofit and Replacement …

… of old air handlers or end-of-life fans systems is much easier today using a FANWALL System from Nortek Air Solutions. It can be the most cost-effective solution for avoiding business disruption of an air handler failure, while delivering energy saving improvements as high as 40%.

In many cases, fan or air handler replacements have access limitations that require the time and expense of a major demolition and reconstruction project. A FANWALL system can minimize this and other barriers.

The performance of the new system can be optimized to match actual capacity and airflow requirements. Ancillary components that created static-pressure penalties in the old system can be removed, such as sound attenuators and air blenders.

Retrofits often can happen over a weekend or during unoccupied timeframes to minimize downtime or disruption of normal business.  Many of the components of a fan retrofit can fit in a standard elevator or through a three foot wide door. We’ve engineered 1000’s of FANWALL retrofit solutions and have developed best practices in our solutions.

Replace Packaged DX…

…units with our innovative Mammoth V-Cube™ Slim unit that can break apart on the jobsite to allow for easily transport into the building without expensive demolition.  And the refrigeration system remains in tack and charged.

The V-Cube Slim knockdown solution is designed to be a quick solution for replacement of existing floor-by-floor units. The packaged design, complete with a standard VFD and optional factory-integrated communication controls, reduces field labor. A compact footprint allows easy replacement of existing units manufactured by others. Built-in electrical disconnects reduce field labor and installation costs.

Palletized Air Handlers…

…are another way we deliver air handling solutions for upgrading existing systems. Unit are assembled complete in the factory and then disassembled and palletized into sequenced groups.  All hardware and sealants are provided with the unit.
