Your customers expect comfort. Your employees deserve a productive environment. Your business needs systems that work when you need them most.
That’s exactly what you get with properly maintained commercial HVAC. No more emergency calls during your busiest hours. No more losing customers because your restaurant is too hot or your retail space feels like a sauna. No more productivity drops when your office becomes unbearable.
When your HVAC works right, your business runs smoothly. Employees stay focused. Customers stay comfortable. You stay profitable. It’s that simple.
We’ve been solving HVAC problems in Montara since 1985. We’re not newcomers trying to figure out your coastal climate. We understand how the marine air affects your equipment. We know why your systems work harder here than inland.
Ramiro took over our family business from his father in 2006, bringing four decades of combined experience to every job. Our technicians aren’t temporary hires—they’re career professionals who know commercial systems inside and out.
We’ve kept restaurants, retail stores, and offices comfortable through Montara’s unique weather patterns. When other contractors struggle with coastal humidity and temperature swings, we deliver solutions that actually work.
When you call us, here’s what happens. We answer the phone—not an answering service, not a call center. You talk to someone who understands commercial HVAC and can help immediately.
Our technician arrives with the tools and parts needed for most common commercial repairs. We diagnose the problem quickly, explain what’s wrong in plain language, and give you options that make sense for your budget and timeline.
If it’s a simple fix, we handle it on the spot. If you need a bigger repair or replacement, we’ll get your system running temporarily while we order parts or schedule the larger job. You stay comfortable while we handle everything else.

Smart business owners don’t wait for breakdowns. They prevent them with regular maintenance that keeps systems running efficiently year-round.
Our preventative maintenance contracts cover everything your commercial HVAC needs. We clean coils, check refrigerant levels, test controls, and catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies. You get priority scheduling, discounted repairs, and the peace of mind that comes from proactive care.
Montara’s coastal environment is tough on HVAC equipment. Salt air corrodes components faster. Humidity creates more strain. Temperature swings work your system harder. Regular maintenance isn’t optional here—it’s essential for protecting your investment and avoiding costly downtime.
We prioritize commercial emergencies because we understand that every minute your system is down costs you money. Most emergency calls in Montara get same-day response, often within a few hours during business hours.
For true emergencies—like a restaurant’s walk-in cooler failing or an office building losing AC during a heat wave—we mobilize immediately. Our technicians carry common commercial parts and can often get your system running temporarily while we order specialized components.
We also offer 24-hour emergency service for businesses that can’t afford downtime. When you’re dealing with perishable inventory or customer comfort, waiting until tomorrow isn’t an option.
Commercial systems work much harder and face different challenges than residential units. They run longer hours, handle more people, and deal with heat from equipment, lighting, and business operations.
In Montara’s coastal climate, commercial systems also battle constant humidity and salt air exposure. Rooftop units face direct marine air that accelerates corrosion. Indoor air handlers work overtime to maintain comfort when outside conditions change rapidly.
Commercial HVAC requires specialized knowledge of controls, zoning, and load calculations. A contractor who only works on homes won’t understand your building’s unique needs or have the right tools and parts to service commercial equipment properly.
Preventative maintenance costs a fraction of what you’ll pay for emergency repairs and lost business. A typical maintenance contract runs a few hundred dollars per unit annually. Emergency repairs often start at $500 and can reach several thousand for major component failures.
But the real cost isn’t just the repair bill—it’s the business you lose when customers leave because they’re uncomfortable, or employees can’t work productively in extreme temperatures. One day of lost revenue from a failed AC system often exceeds a year’s worth of maintenance costs.
Maintained systems also run more efficiently, reducing your energy bills. In Montara’s climate, where systems work harder due to humidity and temperature swings, efficiency improvements can save hundreds of dollars monthly on larger commercial buildings.
Yes, we service the full range of commercial HVAC systems including rooftop units, split systems, package units, boilers, furnaces, and specialized equipment like walk-in coolers and commercial refrigeration.
Our experience spans restaurants, retail stores, offices, warehouses, and light industrial facilities. We understand the specific requirements of each type of business—from maintaining precise temperatures in retail environments to handling high-volume ventilation needs in restaurants.
We also work with all major commercial HVAC brands and can source parts quickly. Whether you have a 20-year-old rooftop unit or the latest high-efficiency system, our technicians have the training and tools to keep it running properly.
First, verify they hold a valid California C-20 HVAC license and carry proper insurance. This isn’t optional—it’s required by law and protects you if something goes wrong during service.
Look for contractors with specific commercial experience, not just residential. Commercial systems are more complex and require different skills, tools, and parts inventory. Ask about their response times for emergencies and whether they offer preventative maintenance contracts.
Local experience matters too, especially in Montara’s coastal environment. Contractors who understand how marine air affects equipment will provide better solutions and longer-lasting repairs than those who only work inland where conditions are different.
Start with regular maintenance—clean coils, fresh filters, and proper refrigerant levels make the biggest difference in coastal environments where salt air and humidity work against efficiency.
Consider upgrading to programmable or smart thermostats that adjust automatically for occupancy and outside conditions. Proper zoning also helps by only conditioning spaces when they’re in use, rather than heating or cooling your entire building constantly.
For older systems, retrofitting with variable-speed drives and high-efficiency components can dramatically reduce energy costs. In Montara’s climate, where systems run year-round due to temperature and humidity variations, efficiency improvements pay for themselves faster than in more stable climates.
