Boost Efficiency & Profitability with Temperature-Controlled Environments
Temperature-controlled environments aren't just essential for homes—light commercial businesses also rely on these systems for various reasons, all of which directly impact their bottom line at month-end.

Installations
Light commercial businesses require HVAC system installations for various reasons. Our technicians consult with business owners or managers to assess the application and equipment requirements. Every detail is considered to ensure the right system is selected. Maintaining a comfortable indoor environment is essential—not only for employee satisfaction and productivity but also for reducing absenteeism caused by illness. Proper temperature control and high indoor air quality contribute to a healthier workspace.
Additionally, many industries rely on expensive machinery that must be kept at a stable temperature to prevent overheating and potential breakdowns, which could lead to costly repairs or data loss. We factor in all these considerations, along with the specific areas needing heating or cooling, to create a customized HVAC design.
Maintenance
Regular HVAC maintenance is crucial for light commercial businesses, preventing costly breakdowns. Our technicians thoroughly inspect each component, ensuring nothing is overlooked. We offer affordable maintenance packages, providing expert care that saves you from expensive repairs and downtime. Investing in routine service is a smart, cost-effective choice.
Repairs
Even with regular maintenance, heavy-use HVAC systems will eventually need repairs. We respond quickly to minimize downtime and protect your profits. Using high-quality parts, our repairs enhance performance, longevity, and value.
Air Conditioning Tips
Q How often should I change my filter?
This really depends on what kind of filter is being used, and how much you use your system. Usually, you want to change your filter at least every three months - but if you are using a high efficiency filter, then it only needs to be changed every six months to twelve months.
Q What temperature should I set my thermostat to?
The best answer is to set them for what ever temperature keeps you comfortable and the utility bills manageable. the real concern in the home is usually humidity, keeping it high enough in the winter and low enough in the summer both for personal comfort and to retard mold and mildew.
Q Do I need a dehumidifier?
Dehumidifiers can make a big difference in how cool your home feels and your utility costs. Dehumidifiers reduce excessive levels of moisture (humidity) in your home's air.
Q Why won't my outdoor unit come on?
The double pole breaker in the panel could be tripped. The unit may need to be serviced so the safety switches can be checked. If these switches have been tripped, then it will not send the command for the A/C unit to come on.
Q Why is my indoor unit leaking water?
The condensation drain could be clogged or the indoor coil could be freezing up due to dirty filter or low refrigerant charge. If this is the case the drain needs to be cleaned out and the filter may need to be changed.
Q I am not getting enough airflow.
Your air filter could be clogged, the duct work could be undersized for the space or a failing blower motor. If your filter has been changes recently then you may need a qualified system design specialist to look at the duct design to see if it is properly sized.
