Commercial Ductwork & Ventilation Toronto

Pressure and Airflow

Every System Is Measured and Balanced Before Handover

Ductwork can be installed neatly and still deliver the wrong amount of air. Undersized runs, closed dampers, crushed flex duct and leaking joints all cut the airflow that reaches the room, and the fan delivers less air than it was selected for.

We measure airflow in cubic feet per minute (CFM) at the supply grilles, returns and exhaust points, adjust the dampers and fan speeds, and go through the final readings with you. Those readings also give your next service visit a baseline.

These are the ventilation problems we solve most often:

• Doors that are hard to open: negative pressure from exhaust running without enough make-up air.
• Smoke escaping the hood: a kitchen exhaust fan too small for the hood, or no make-up air.
• Stuffy rooms and poor indoor air quality: too little outdoor air for the number of people in the space.
• Cold drafts at entrances: outside air pulled in through the doors because the building is under negative pressure.
• Noisy ducts and grilles: air moving too fast through undersized ducts or poorly placed diffusers.
• Rooms that never reach temperature: leaking, crushed or disconnected ducts above the ceiling.

Our clients include restaurants, banquet halls, offices, retail stores and light industrial sites, and most ventilation projects tie into heating and cooling equipment we also install and service.

Ductwork and Ventilation Pricing Starts With the Floor Plan

We don’t price ventilation work by the foot, since the cost comes down to how the air has to move through your building. After a site visit, you get a free estimate and a written quote that lists the ductwork, fans, make-up air and balancing.

What affects the cost:

• Length and size of the duct runs and how they are routed
• Number of exhaust fans, hoods and make-up air units
• Ceiling access, building height and work around occupied spaces
• Balancing, controls and any electrical changes

The City of Toronto’s stand-alone mechanical (HVAC) permit covers add-on systems such as unit heaters, make-up air units and exhaust fans, as well as ductwork alterations, and the application asks for duct design and mechanical ventilation calculations. We’ll tell you early if your project is likely to need one.

Commercial Ductwork Installation Toronto and Across the GTA

From offices in Concord, Etobicoke, Mississauga and Toronto, we install ductwork and ventilation in downtown Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Mississauga and across the Greater Toronto Area.

• Restaurants and commercial kitchens: hood exhaust fans and make-up air sized together.
• Offices and clinics: enough outdoor air and quiet supply for occupied spaces.
• Retail stores and plazas: ductwork reworked for new tenants and layouts.
• Warehouses and workshops: exhaust and make-up air for large spaces and work areas.

Start With an Airflow Assessment

Tell us what you notice, such as doors that are hard to open, smoke around the hood or rooms that stay stuffy, and we’ll measure the system and send you a free estimate.
