Ductwork, Ventilation & Sheet Metal in Halifax

The homes we work on in Halifax

On the peninsula you find South End century homes, North End row houses and semis, converted flats, and downtown condos. A lot of this stock was never built for ducted air — it runs on electric baseboard, hot water, or oil — and what ductwork does exist is often undersized, leaky, or boxed into finished space.

• ✓Heritage and century homes with plaster walls and no existing duct chases
• ✓North End semis, row houses and converted multi-units with tight mechanical space
• ✓Finished attics and basements where running new duct takes real fabrication
• ✓Downtown and peninsula condos and infill with compact mechanical rooms

What a Halifax retrofit usually involves

Older peninsula homes rarely have room for off-the-shelf duct. The work is finding a path, fabricating transitions to fit it, and making sure airflow and ventilation actually keep up after the house is tightened up in a renovation.

• ✓Custom transitions and slim trunk lines to fit heritage framing
• ✓Furnace conversions — oil or baseboard homes moving to a ducted heat pump that needs duct built from scratch
• ✓HRV/ERV for tightly renovated heritage homes that no longer breathe on their own
• ✓Bath, kitchen and dryer venting routed through old structures and terminated properly

New builds and infill in Halifax

Peninsula new builds are mostly infill, garden suites and condo fit-ups on tight lots. They need ductwork laid out for compact mechanical rooms and ventilation that meets current code from day one.

• ✓Right-sized duct designed into infill and backyard-suite plans
• ✓Code-required HRV/ERV planned in, not added later
• ✓Clean exposed spiral duct for modern open-ceiling designs

From the South End to the North End and across the peninsula, we build ductwork that fits Halifax's older homes instead of forcing standard parts where they don't go.
