Why Rheia?
Builders and contractors are under constant pressure to reduce costs. As a manufacturer, Rheia is here to help. Our solution combines design know-how, engineered components, installation productivity, and verified quality to deliver a cost-effective solution every time.
Cost Pressures
Price uncertainty of imported goods means using more working capital and material stockpiling.
Loss of the federal $2500 per home tax credit is driving builders to find savings by pressuring contractors and suppliers.
Material price increases by domestic suppliers to match tariff-driven price increases.
Labor Availability
An industry-wide 110,000 skilled worker shortage creates wage inflation and construction delays.
Unpredictable labor availability disrupts scheduling, increases bids and impacts construction quality.
Contractors have to use unskilled workers with minimal training resulting in poorer quality installations.
Comfort Callbacks
Each comfort callback costs the builder $500 and $1,000 for the contractor, excluding the lost opportunity costs.
HVAC comfort issues are hard to diagnose in conventional systems—often requiring multiple visits.
Callbacks hurt profitability by disrupting schedules, increasing overhead and damaging your brand.

Comfort by Design
Comfort is hard to quantify. Many traditional systems are built on guesswork and rule-of-thumb designs, creating unfixable comfort issues.
Rheia is designed to perform, and uses our exclusive Verify air-balancing app to optimize room-to-room airflows.
Balancing reports confirm that the installed system matches the design, reporting fewer customer comfort complaints than traditional systems.
The discreet and flexible placement of diffusers provides an aesthetic advantage for homeowners that value a clean and minimal design.
Code Compliance
Energy codes requiring higher standards of performance are already in effect in some states, and will be universally required across the U.S. in the coming years. To improve a home’s energy efficiency, HVAC systems will be required to be located inside the thermal envelope. We are already there with Rheia.
Flexible, small-diameter ducts run in walls and floors with minimal impact to the interior architecture. Our system has already proven to exceed Energy Star and improve HERS scores, allowing builders to meet the growing demands of energy efficient building methods.
Some states are already getting a jump on the upcoming requirements and are rolling them out now.
Are you ready? At Rheia, we are.
