Engineered HVAC Solutions & Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication for Juneau and Southeast Alaska
Built for Southeast Alaska's Climate. Designed to Last.
Is your heating or ventilation system acting up again? Here’s the thing: a quick patch job rarely fixes what Southeast Alaska’s coastal climate does to a mechanical system over time. You need a contractor who’s seen it happen before, over and over. That’s us. We handle residential and commercial HVAC work throughout Juneau and the surrounding communities, and our job is simple: keep your home or business comfortable and running right, all year long.
Our HVAC & Fabrication Services
Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication
No two buildings are the same, so why would the ductwork be? We build custom ductwork, transitions, plenums, offsets, and specialty parts for every project instead of forcing a pre-made piece into a space it wasn’t built for. Since we fabricate everything locally in Juneau, you skip the long shipping waits and get a system that fits right the first time, better airflow, less wasted energy, and a job that holds up whether you’re remodeling a house or building a new commercial space from scratch.
Residential & Commercial HVAC Installation & Replacement
A good HVAC system does more than heat a room, it keeps your family, your staff, or your customers comfortable while helping you save on energy bills every month. Before we recommend anything, we look closely at your property’s size, layout, and heating needs, because a system that’s sized wrong will cost you for years. We handle full replacements, new construction, and the custom-fabricated parts that tie everything together, and since we build a lot of that ourselves, you get a cleaner install with fewer delays. From your first estimate to the final walkthrough, you’ll get honest answers, not a sales pitch.
HVAC Repair & Maintenance
Heating systems usually give you a few warning signs before they fail. Weaker airflow, climbing energy bills, or a strange noise you haven’t heard before are all worth a look. We provide honest repairs and routine maintenance that catch small problems early, before they turn into an expensive breakdown or leave you without heat in the middle of winter. As a small, two-person team, we can’t always promise same-day service, but we’ll always be upfront about timing and give you a straight answer on whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
Air Duct Installation & Replacement
Nobody thinks about their ductwork until it’s the problem, but damaged or poorly designed ducts choke off airflow, waste energy, and quietly wreck your comfort. We install new ducts and replace aging or damaged ones for homes and businesses throughout Southeast Alaska, and because we fabricate our own parts, we’re not stuck picking from a limited shelf of pre-made pieces. Every duct system is built around your building’s layout, not squeezed into whatever standard part happens to be on hand.
Air Duct Cleaning & Maintenance
Over time, dust, pet dander, and everyday debris build up inside your ductwork, and Southeast Alaska’s damp climate doesn’t help. If you’ve noticed more dust around the house, musty odors when your system kicks on, or weaker airflow than you’re used to, it might be time for a cleaning. We inspect before we clean, so if your ducts need more than dust removal, like a repair or replacement, we’ll tell you honestly instead of just running a hose through the vents.
Air Handler Installation, Maintenance & Repair
Your air handler doesn’t get much attention until it stops working, and then suddenly everything feels off: weaker airflow, higher bills, a house that won’t hold its temperature. We install new units, replace aging ones, and handle the routine maintenance that catches small problems before they turn into a much bigger repair bill. When something does break, we’d rather diagnose it fast and get your comfort back than sell you on a full replacement you don’t need yet.

Proudly Serving Juneau & Communities Throughout Southeast Alaska
Juneau’s home, and we’re just as committed to the towns around it. Living in a coastal community means near-constant rain, humidity that never fully lets up, and the headache of servicing places you can’t just drive to. Wherever your project is, you get the same attention to detail.
We serve homeowners, businesses, contractors, and property managers throughout Mendenhall Valley, Auke Bay, Douglas, Downtown Juneau, Haines, Sitka, Hoonah, Gustavus, Skagway, Petersburg, Wrangell, Kake, Angoon, Tenakee Springs, and other Southeast Alaska communities. Don’t see your town listed? Reach out anyway. We’re happy to talk it through.
Working across Southeast Alaska takes more than technical know-how, it takes planning, since not every town connects by road. We coordinate travel, equipment, and materials to keep remote projects on schedule, and we bring the same care to every job, no matter how far the drive (or the ferry ride) is.
Questions? We're glad you asked!
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
At least once a year. Regular checkups catch small issues before they turn into expensive repairs, and in our damp coastal climate, moisture and corrosion take a real toll on equipment that doesn’t get looked at.
How often should air ducts be cleaned?
Most homes do fine with a cleaning every three to five years, depending on the age of the home, pets, recent renovations, and how hard the system runs. Noticed extra dust or musty smells? Get it looked at sooner.
What are the signs that my HVAC system needs to be replaced?
If it’s 15 to 20 years old, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills keep climbing, replacement is often the smarter money move. We’ll take a look and give you a straight answer on repair versus replace.
Why is custom sheet metal fabrication important for HVAC systems?
Standard ductwork doesn’t always fit the way it should. Custom fabrication means better airflow, better efficiency, and a cleaner install that holds up longer.
Do you provide both residential and commercial HVAC services?
Yes, installation, replacement, maintenance, repairs, ductwork, air handlers, and custom fabrication for homes and businesses across Juneau and Southeast Alaska.
Can you service remote communities in Southeast Alaska?
Absolutely. We regularly travel out for installs, maintenance, repairs, and fabrication jobs. Not sure if we cover your area? Just ask.
Why is HVAC maintenance important in Southeast Alaska?
Cool temps, constant rain, and coastal humidity put extra strain on your equipment. Routine maintenance keeps things running efficiently and protects what you’ve already invested.
Do you fabricate custom HVAC ductwork locally?
Yes, right here in our Juneau shop. That means precise parts for your project without the wait for something shipped up from outside Alaska.
How long does a new HVAC installation take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the job. Once we’ve evaluated your property, we’ll give you a clear timeline up front.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, on installations, replacements, and fabrication projects. No pressure attached.
