Manage Your Costs

“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.”

Lower install times

Rheia’s snap-together system speeds installation, boosts contractor productivity, shortens builder cycle times, and enables crews to handle more jobs.

Only 20 SKUs

Rheia simplifies inventory with only 20 SKUs, using 12–14 per home, saving space and reducing tracking complexity.

Product waste after installation

Less jobsite waste

Rheia’s precise design minimizes duct waste, uses reusable lightweight parts, speeds cleanup, and simplifies jobsite handling with snap-fit connections.

Improve Your Productivity

“I have installers who have been installing traditional flex duct for 20 years, and now they like doing Rheia more. Also it is easy to train the new employees on the Rheia system.”

Rheia is easy to install

Conventional sheet metal and flex duct slow crews down, but Rheia helps workers finish more homes per crew, boosting productivity, and improving the builder’s cycle times.

Fitting connections eliminate the need for messy, expensive mastic or tape. Rheia boosts morale when workers don't have to handle sheet metal or climb around on roof trusses.

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.”
