Rooftop unit (RTU) repair
Many commercial buildings use packaged rooftop units. Common issues include failed compressors or fans, belts and bearings, refrigerant leaks, clogged coils, control or thermostat faults and economizer problems. Rooftop work involves heights, electrical and refrigerant systems and should be done by qualified technicians.
Restaurant and food-service HVAC
Kitchens create heat, grease and humidity, and dining rooms need comfort during peak hours. Problems can include inadequate cooling in the kitchen, makeup air issues and hood or ventilation concerns. Because some of this work overlaps with fire and health codes, ask whether a contractor has experience with food-service properties.
Maintenance agreements
Many businesses use preventive maintenance agreements to schedule regular service. Ask what visits include, response commitments, how emergencies are handled and how parts and labor are billed.
