HaVACo

HaVACo Technologies designs and manufactures plastic air distribution products from its headquarters in Erie, Pennsylvania. The company focused its product development on plastic alternatives to traditional metal grilles, diffusers, and duct accessories for both residential and light commercial HVAC systems.

Product Lines

HaVACo's catalog centers on plastic supply and return grilles, ceiling diffusers, start collars, and rotary dampers, all made in the USA from high impact ABS polymer. Supply grilles are built with a pre-molded register boot inlet that accepts flex duct directly, and many grilles use a patented easy attach knob that lets the grille face be removed for cleaning without disturbing the surrounding duct boot.

Why Contractors Specify HaVACo

Installers specify HaVACo grilles and diffusers over metal alternatives because the ABS construction will not rust, corrode, discolor, or fade over time, a common failure point for metal grilles in humid basements, bathrooms, or coastal climates. Plastic construction is also reported to be roughly 157 times less conductive than metal, reducing the cold or hot spots that can form around metal grilles in unconditioned spaces. The easy attach knob design common across HaVACo grilles also speeds up routine filter changes and duct cleaning, since the face can be removed without tools or disturbing the boot connection.

How to Choose HaVACo Products

Selecting a HaVACo grille or diffuser starts with confirming the boot or duct opening size the product needs to mate with, since supply grilles come in pre-molded boot configurations sized to common flex duct diameters. Rooms prone to moisture, such as bathrooms or basements, are good candidates for HaVACo's ABS grilles over metal equivalents specifically because of their corrosion resistance. For return air applications, checking whether a filter grid or bulls-eye back is needed helps match the grille to filtration requirements, and duct runs needing airflow control should be paired with a HaVACo rotary damper sized to the duct diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are HaVACo grilles made of?

HaVACo grilles and diffusers are made in the USA from high impact ABS polymer rather than metal.

Why choose a plastic grille over a metal one?

ABS grilles will not rust, corrode, discolor, or fade, and are significantly less conductive than metal, which reduces temperature transfer around the grille in unconditioned spaces.

Can the face of a HaVACo grille be removed for cleaning?

Many HaVACo grilles use a patented easy attach knob that allows the grille face to be removed for cleaning without disturbing the duct boot.

Do HaVACo supply grilles work with flex duct?

Yes, HaVACo supply grilles include a pre-molded register boot inlet designed to accept flex duct directly.

Where is HaVACo based?

HaVACo Technologies is headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania.
