Rheia for Builders

The Rheia air distribution system is the cost-effective solution to address most common challenges builders face: unpredictable costs, labor shortages, and warranty callbacks.

  • Domestic sourcing reduces exposure to supply chain volatility, keeping material costs consistent.
  • Stable material costs mean fewer surprises and a smoother bidding process from start to finish.
  • Rheia installs quickly, helping crews finish more homes per day and keeping your schedules on track.
  • Compact design avoids clashes with plumbing and electrical, so trades stay out of each other’s way.
  • Snap-together components create a reliable, consistent system that installs right the first time.
  • Balanced airflow and well-placed diffusers deliver even temperatures throughout the home.

Manage Your Costs

“Rheia is a product and process that is set up for the future. By contrast, the typical HVAC process for residential construction leaves something to be desired. It might get the job done, but I see Rheia as a technological step forward, in HVAC design and in the product.”

Rheia guides more accurate bidding

Lot specific designs not only make it possible for more predictable bidding, but allow for verified performance measured against the HVAC design specifications.

Improve Your Cycle Times

“For me, a key benefit is cycle time reduction. Crews can install almost twice as fast as they can a conventional system. That’s the messaging that needs to get to builders.”

Rheia is faster to install

Conventional sheet metal and flex duct can slow crews down, but Rheia lets contractors finish more homes per crew, boosting productivity and improving cycle times.

Mechanical systems integration

Rheia avoids trade conflicts

Our compact, flexible ducts and components fit easily within framing, reducing clashes with plumbing, electrical, and sprinklers — keeping construction moving without delays.

Reduce Your Callbacks

“The comfort you feel when you enter a home that is properly balanced with the Rheia system is unmatched. It's not even close to what you would get in a traditional HVAC assembly in a home.”
