Our services

HVAC for the businesses that can't afford downtime

A dead AC in a restaurant dining room or a server closet running hot isn't a comfort problem — it's a revenue problem. We service, repair, and replace light commercial equipment across the Wasatch Front, and we schedule around your business hours, not ours.

Small-building HVAC is its own trade

Light commercial sits in an awkward gap: too big for a residential company's comfort zone, too small for the mechanical contractors chasing hospital contracts. That gap is where we work. Packaged rooftop units, commercial split systems, and ductless equipment serving real businesses — the shop that can't have customers sweating, the office where the server closet matters more than the lobby, the restaurant where the kitchen fights the dining room every service.

We've run our own shop in Salt Lake City since 2006. We know exactly what it means when equipment goes down during business hours, because we answer our own phone when it happens to customers.

Rooftop units: maintained or expensive, pick one

An RTU lives on your roof in full Utah weather — baking through 100-degree summers, freezing through inversion winters, swallowing cottonwood fluff every spring. Neglected, it fails on the worst possible day; maintained, it quietly runs for years. Scheduled visits catch the belts, capacitors, clogged coils, and low charges while they're cheap, and we time them to the seasons your equipment is about to face.

When an RTU does reach the end, we manage the whole swap: crane scheduling, curb adapters where the new footprint differs, code and permit work, and commissioning — usually inside a single scheduled window so your doors stay open.

One contractor, not a phone tree

Commercial customers get the same thing homeowners get from us: the owner's name on the van, a firm quote before work starts, and a straight answer about repair versus replacement. What changes is the logistics — we plan around your hours, document what your landlord or franchise needs, and keep a service history on your equipment so every visit starts smarter than the last one.

Pricing

What drives the price

Commercial work gets quoted per job, in writing, after we've seen the equipment — rooftop access, refrigerant type, and code requirements all move the number. What we hold constant: a firm quote before work starts and honest advice on repair versus replacement. The price moves with:

  • Equipment type and tonnage — packaged rooftop units, split systems, or ductless
  • Roof access, including crane or lift needs for RTU swaps
  • Refrigerant type and system age
  • Code and permit requirements for commercial equipment
  • Controls — from a basic thermostat to zoned setups
  • Scheduling windows, if the work has to happen outside business hours

How it works with us

No surprises, start to finish

  1. Walk us through the building

    What the equipment serves, where it's failing, and when we can work without disrupting your customers.

  2. Assessment and quote

    We inspect the equipment and give you a firm written quote — repair path and replacement path when both are on the table.

  3. Work on your schedule

    Early mornings, after close, weekends by dispatch — we plan the disruptive parts around your business.

  4. Keep it running

    Scheduled maintenance visits keep filters, coils, and belts from becoming emergency calls during your busy season.

Light Commercial HVAC questions

Straight answers

What kind of commercial buildings do you handle?

Light commercial: retail shops, offices, restaurants, salons, small warehouses, strip-mall suites, and small multi-tenant buildings. Packaged rooftop units, split systems, and ductless equipment. If your building runs on equipment in that family, we're a fit — and if a job is beyond our lane, we'll say so instead of learning on your dime.

Can you work without shutting down my business?

That's the goal on every commercial job. Diagnostics and much of the routine work happen without disruption, and for the loud or system-down phases we schedule early mornings, evenings after close, or weekends by dispatch. Tell us your hours and we'll build the plan around them.

Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?

We set up scheduled maintenance visits — filters, coils, belts, refrigerant checks, and heating inspections timed to the seasons your equipment works hardest. Regular visits are how rooftop units make it through July without an emergency call. Ask us to put together a schedule for your building.

Our AC died and we have customers in the building. How fast can you come?

Call (801) 678-5748 and tell us it's a business down — we'll give you an honest answer based on the day's board, and after-hours dispatch is available. We won't promise a fake response time, but we treat revenue-down calls with the urgency they deserve.

Do you handle tenant improvements and build-outs?

Yes — HVAC for suite build-outs and remodels in light commercial spaces: extending or rezoning ductwork, adding equipment for new floor plans, and getting it through inspection. Bring us in early and the mechanical plan will cost you less than fixing it after the walls close.
