Huntair Inc

What Huntair Inc does

Huntair Inc designs and supplies custom-configured air handling units and integrated fan array systems for mission-critical and commercial HVAC applications. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Tualatin, Oregon, the company originally served semiconductor and pharmaceutical cleanroom environments before broadening into healthcare, education, manufacturing, government, and general commercial buildings. Its core technical differentiator is FANWALL TECHNOLOGY®, invented in 2003 and protected as a registered trademark — an integrated fan array solution that combines fans, motors, cabinetry, controls, and accessories into a single engineered architecture designed for redundancy, low-vibration operation, and reduced maintenance.

The product portfolio comprises three lines: Custom Air Handlers for mission-critical and commercial applications, FANWALL Retrofit Systems targeting the installed-base replacement market, and Knockdown Air Handlers designed for shipment and on-site assembly. Products are validated at the Advanced Air Movement Laboratory in nearby Milwaukie, Oregon, shared across the Nortek Air Solutions brand family. Huntair-branded products are manufactured at the Tualatin facility, which is also home to the CLEANPAK brand and received the Oregon Governor's Occupational Safety & Health (GOSH) Conference Safety and Health Advocate team award in 2015.

Huntair operates as a brand within Nortek Air Solutions, LLC (headquartered in Okarche, Oklahoma). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of engineered-to-order equipment, distributed via a regional manufacturer representative network accessible through a 'Find a Rep' interface on the parent company's website. Pricing is quote-based rather than list-priced. Buyer targets are engineers, contractors, and building owners specifying equipment for new construction and retrofit projects, with design-in into building specifications providing the primary commercial lock-in mechanism.
