Air Options – Custom AHU Manufacturers

Air Options is a South African engineering and manufacturing company specialising in custom air handling units (AHUs) and advanced air conditioning equipment for commercial, industrial and healthcare environments.

As custom AHU manufacturers, the company designs, builds and integrates systems tailored to specific building requirements, compliance standards and operational demands.

We supply both highly specialised HVAC systems and standardised air conditioning equipment, with a strong focus on performance, durability and system integration. Each solution is developed to meet defined airflow, filtration, temperature control and energy efficiency criteria relevant to the intended application.

Engineered Air Handling Unit Solutions for Demanding Environments

An air handling unit forms the core of any HVAC system, responsible for conditioning and distributing air within a building. We manufacture modular and application-specific AHUs designed for environments where air quality, temperature stability and reliability are critical.

These systems are deployed across:

• Industrial facilities
• Corporate and commercial buildings
• Data centres
• Medical and healthcare facilities
• Public sector infrastructure
• Oil and Gas industries
• Mining sectos

Each unit is engineered according to project specifications, with attention to airflow volumes, static pressure requirements, filtration stages, heat recovery integration and control system compatibility. This approach ensures that the installed system performs in line with the operational demands of the space.

Accredited Integration with Global HVAC Brands

Air Options is the only manufacturer in South Africa accredited by the following global HVAC brands:

• Daikin
• Mitsubishi Electric
• LG Electronics
• Samsung

Accreditation enables the company to integrate branded components and proprietary technologies directly into custom HVAC designs. This ensures compatibility, performance reliability and adherence to manufacturer standards. The integration of recognised compressor systems, inverter technologies and control platforms strengthens overall system longevity and operational efficiency.

South African Manufacturing with CNC Precision

All air handling units and associated air conditioning equipment are designed and manufactured in South Africa. Production incorporates CNC fabrication processes to ensure dimensional accuracy, structural consistency and repeatable quality standards.

Local manufacturing provides several operational advantages:

• Controlled production timelines
• Consistent quality oversight
• Support of South African component suppliers
• Skilled local labour involvement
• Technical support aligned to local building conditions

By maintaining in-house manufacturing capabilities, Air Options retains control over engineering standards and final product performance.

Flexible Modular Systems and Specialised Units

Air Options designs modular air handling units that allow configuration flexibility without compromising structural integrity or airflow performance. This enables systems to be adapted to plant room constraints, rooftop installations or retrofit projects.

Specialised units are engineered for applications requiring enhanced filtration, controlled humidity levels or precise environmental management. In healthcare facilities, for example, system design may incorporate multi-stage filtration and controlled pressurisation to support infection control requirements. In industrial settings, systems may prioritise durability and high-volume air movement.

Each project begins with a clear understanding of the client’s technical requirements, regulatory obligations and operational priorities.

Commitment to Continuous Engineering Improvement

Our company maintains active engagement with multiple industry sectors to remain aligned with evolving HVAC standards, energy efficiency expectations and technological developments. Product development is informed by practical field experience, performance data and changing regulatory frameworks.

As the range of modular, custom air handling units and specialised systems expands, internal technical expertise grows accordingly. This ongoing development supports consistent engineering standards across projects of varying scale and complexity.

Air Options - Custom AHU Manufacturers for the Global Market

Although all systems are manufactured locally, Air Options supplies air handling units and air conditioning equipment to both the South African market and international clients. Systems are engineered for performance across diverse operational conditions and sectors.

By combining accredited global technology integration, local manufacturing precision and application-specific engineering, Air Options positions itself among leading custom AHU manufacturers capable of delivering high-performance HVAC systems across multiple industries.
