A cooling system is only as durable as the metal around it. The compressor and coils get the attention, but failures often start with a corroded bracket, warped enclosure, or panel that no longer seals properly.

That’s the part we make. Phoenix Metal fabricates the enclosures, frames, and heat-transfer components that industrial cooling and HVAC equipment depend on. We’ve built HVAC Control Panels, Ductwork Components, and custom housings to spec since the 1980s. Here’s how we approach the work.

Component Manufacturing for Thermal Systems

Thermal parts have to hold tight tolerances. A heat exchanger frame that’s off by a millimeter loses efficiency on every cycle, and those efficiency losses add up over time.

We manufacture a wide range of custom components engineered to maintain structural integrity under extreme conditions:

• Heat exchanger frames. Engineered to keep coils perfectly aligned under continuous thermal stress.
• Fan housings. Precision-balanced to ensure quiet, vibration-free airflow.
• Mounting brackets and structural supports. Formed to withstand constant thermal expansion and contraction cycles.
• Ductwork components. Cut and formed to exact dimensions for tight, seamless integration.

Our laser cutting and metal stamping lines handle both prototypes and high-volume runs with the same accuracy. That matters when you’re moving from a first article to a full production order and need every part to match the previous one.

Cabinets & Housings for Cooling & Ventilation

An enclosure does more than hold parts together. It keeps dust off the electronics, routes airflow, and protects whoever services the unit later.

Phoenix Metal builds:

• Compressor cabinets. Sized to dampen noise and dissipate heat
• Air handler enclosures. Sealed to minimize air and moisture loss
• Control panel housings. Built with clean cutouts for wiring and maintenance access
• Ventilation chassis. Formed to support steady, consistent airflow

We weld, form, and finish each unit in-house, so our welding and assembly teams can hand off a finished enclosure rather than a box of loose parts.

If a unit needs hardware, gaskets, or wiring cutouts added before it ships, we handle that in the same shop. One vendor, one point of contact, fewer surprises at install.

Corrosion-Resistant Materials & Protective Coatings

HVAC components operate in environments with constant moisture, condensation, and temperature changes. Without proper material selection and finishing, corrosion can develop quickly and shorten the life of the equipment.

Our material selection and finishing processes focus on extending product lifecycles in harsh environments:

• Substrate selection. We form components using high-grade galvanized steel, aluminum, and stainless steel tailored to your operating environment.
• Advanced powder coating. We apply specialized epoxy, polyester, hybrid, and urethane finishes to provide high-durability protection.

Custom Retrofit & Replacement Part Fabrication

Many older HVAC systems still run long after replacement parts are discontinued. In some cases, replacing the failed component makes more sense than replacing the entire unit.

Phoenix Metal reverse-engineers replacements from a sample, a drawing, or a worn original:

• Discontinued enclosure panels
• Custom brackets for legacy mounts
• Retrofit frames that fit existing equipment

Our metal fabrication shop can match an obsolete part and get a system running again, often faster than sourcing a full replacement. For facilities running aging equipment, that turnaround can be the difference between a quick repair and weeks of downtime waiting on a discontinued SKU.

Partner with Phoenix Metal for Rugged HVAC Fabrication

Reliable cooling comes down to reliable metalwork. The quality of the fabrication directly affects the performance and service life of HVAC control panels, ductwork components, compressor cabinets, and air handler enclosures.

Years of HVAC fabrication experience help us identify design and durability issues before production begins. Send us your specs or a worn part, and we’ll tell you how we’d build it.
