Quieter Spaces, Faster Installation
Price Industries is proud to be a Gold Associate Member of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA). In our SMACNA Highlight blog series, we’ll be featuring news, tips and tricks tailored to the skilled contractors who install, coordinate and deliver HVAC systems across North America.

The Return Air Canopy from Price is an economical solution for reducing return-air noise and improving speech privacy. It installs in minutes, providing consistent, high-quality results on the jobsite.
Installing traditional lined boots can take up to three hours – but the Return Air Canopy installs within just 10 minutes, saving on labor while delivering a 60% lower cost than that of field-fabricated alternatives. Its lightweight, compact design streamlines handling on the jobsite and preserves valuable plenum space.
Despite its simplicity, it delivers robust performance, maintaining the acoustic properties of fiberglass ceiling tiles, reducing room-to-room noise transfer, and treating breakout noise from terminal units and flex ducts.

The Return Air Canopy also blocks light spill between spaces and integrates seamlessly with any of our square return-air devices, giving you consistent, high-quality results across a variety of ceiling systems.
If you are interested in using the Return Air Canopy in your next project, reach out to your local Price representative.
