Sheet Metal & Ductwork

Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication in Pensacola, FL

HVAC systems are only as good as the ductwork that delivers air. Poorly designed or fabricated ducts waste conditioning and energy, create noise, and leave rooms uncomfortable. Climatech of Professional Air provides custom sheet metal fabrication and ductwork design for new HVAC installations, replacements, and retrofits throughout Pensacola. Our technicians engineer ductwork optimized for your home’s layout, equipment capacity, and comfort requirements, then install with precision sealing to minimize air loss.

Why Climatech

Why Choose Climatech for Custom Sheet Metal and Ductwork

Expert Ductwork Design Optimized for Your Home’s Layout

No two homes have identical ductwork needs. We assess your home’s square footage, equipment capacity, and room layout, then engineer duct sizing to balance heating and cooling throughout the home — ensuring no room is starved of conditioning while others are over-served. Proper duct design minimizes noise, static pressure drop, and energy waste. Poor design wastes 20–30% of your system’s capacity.

Custom Fabrication for Unique Spaces and Constraints

Existing homes have walls, cabinetry, plumbing, and electrical that constrain duct routing. We custom-fabricate ductwork to fit your home’s realities — routing around obstacles, fitting into tight spaces, and maintaining proper sizing for efficiency. Stock ductwork doesn’t always fit; custom fabrication solves the problem.

Precision Sheet Metal Work and Professional Installation

We fabricate custom ductwork in-shop or on-site using proper gauge sheet metal, sealed seams, and insulation where needed. Every connection is sealed with mastic and metal tape — not duct tape, which fails over time. We test ductwork for leaks before finishing, ensuring every cubic foot of conditioned air reaches the rooms it’s intended for.

Noise Reduction and Comfort Optimization

Undersized ducts create noisy turbulence. Improperly sealed ducts rattle and whistle. We design and fabricate ductwork that runs quietly, and install sound-deadening insulation on exposed ductwork in basements or mechanical spaces. The result: silent operation and maximum comfort.

Duct Sealing, Leak Repair, and Code Compliance

If your existing ductwork is leaky or poorly designed, we assess, repair, and optimize it. Duct sealing alone often improves efficiency 10–15% and comfort dramatically. We use visual inspection, pressure testing, and smoke tracing to locate leaks. All ductwork is designed and installed to meet ASHRAE standards and local energy codes.

Our Process

Custom Sheet Metal and Ductwork Process

Step 1: Ductwork Assessment and Pressure Testing

We assess your existing ductwork or plan custom ductwork for new HVAC installation. We identify duct routing, sizing, insulation, and leaks through visual inspection. For existing systems, we perform pressure testing: pressurizing the ductwork to measure how much air escapes through leaks (expressed as CFM leakage or percentage). We also check airflow balance across supply registers using a smoke pencil or anemometer.

What happens: Our technician documents duct condition, identifies leaks, and measures airflow balance across your home.

Step 2: Ductwork Design and Layout Planning

For new installations, we engineer ductwork layout on a floor plan. We calculate required duct sizes for each branch using industry formulas (ASHRAE methods), ensuring proper velocity and minimal pressure drop. We plan routing to avoid obstacles, minimize elbows (which create resistance), and balance supply and return air. For retrofits, we recommend duct relocation, resizing, or replacement where needed.

What happens: You review a detailed ductwork design showing layout, duct sizes, and balancing approach.

Step 3: Custom Fabrication and Precision Installation

We fabricate custom ductwork sections, transitions, and registers either in-shop or on-site. All connections are sealed with mastic sealant and metal tape. We pressure-test fabricated ductwork before installation to ensure zero leaks. We install with proper support and insulation where appropriate. All work is documented for code compliance.

What happens: Custom ductwork is built, tested, sealed, and installed with professional craftsmanship.

Step 4: System Testing and Airflow Balancing

After ductwork is in place, we commission the HVAC system. We measure supply and return airflow at all registers, verify proper air balance (no rooms starved of air), test for remaining leaks, and ensure quiet operation. We adjust dampers or registers as needed to optimize comfort across your home.

What happens: Your system is tested and balanced for optimal comfort and efficiency.

Frequent Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Sheet Metal and Ductwork

Standard ductwork doesn’t fit every home. Custom fabrication ensures ducts are properly sized, sealed, and routed for maximum efficiency and comfort. Poor ductwork can waste 20–30% of your system’s capacity.

Signs include: rooms that won’t reach temperature, high utility bills despite new HVAC equipment, and visible dust around vents or in the attic. We can pressure-test ducts to measure leakage objectively.

Yes. We use mastic sealant and metal tape to seal accessible leaks. For hard-to-reach ducts, we can inject aerosolized sealant that coats interior surfaces and closes small leaks throughout the system.

Duct tape (ironically) fails within years — it dries, peels, and loses adhesion. Proper sealing uses mastic sealant (stays flexible and sealed) plus metal tape reinforcement. Professional sealing lasts the life of the ductwork.

Costs depend on complexity and material (galvanized steel vs. flexible ductwork). We provide estimates after assessing your home’s needs. Custom fabrication is an investment that pays back through comfort and efficiency.

Yes. When you’re replacing equipment, we often redesign ductwork for better balance and efficiency. This is the ideal time to upgrade ductwork.

Professional ductwork is quiet. Poor ductwork creates turbulence and noise. We design and seal ducts for silent operation.

We’ll design compact ductwork that fits, minimize elbows, and use insulation to reduce noise. We can also consider mini-split systems (no ductwork) as an alternative if space is severely constrained.

Properly installed sheet metal ductwork lasts 50+ years. Flexible ductwork typically lasts 15–20 years.

Absolutely. Duct sealing often improves heating/cooling efficiency 10–15% by eliminating air loss and reducing system workload.
