Hear from Our Customers
Your building stays comfortable year-round, no matter what Foster City’s coastal climate throws at it. Employees stay productive instead of complaining about temperature. Customers don’t walk out because it’s too hot or too cold.
You avoid the panic of emergency breakdowns during peak business hours. No more scrambling to find technicians who charge triple rates for after-hours calls. No more lost revenue while you wait for repairs.
Most importantly, you get predictable costs instead of surprise bills. Regular maintenance keeps small problems small, and your budget stays intact.
We’ve been keeping Foster City businesses comfortable since 1985. When Ramiro took over from his father in 2006, he brought the same commitment to reliable service that built our company’s reputation.
Our technicians aren’t contractors-for-hire who disappear after one job. They’re long-term team members who know your building, your equipment, and your business needs. When you call, you get people who remember your last service call.
We’ve watched Foster City grow from a smaller community to the tech hub it is today. We understand the unique demands of everything from biotech labs to retail spaces, and we know how to keep them running efficiently.
First, we diagnose the actual problem—not just the symptoms. Our technicians arrive with the tools and experience to identify issues quickly, whether it’s a failing rooftop unit, refrigerant leak, or control system malfunction.
Next, we explain what’s wrong in plain terms and give you options. Emergency repair to get you running immediately, or a planned approach that fits your schedule and budget. You decide what makes sense for your business.
Finally, we fix it right the first time. Our trucks carry common commercial parts, so most repairs happen during the first visit. When we leave, your system works properly, and you know exactly what to expect going forward.

Regular maintenance covers everything that keeps your system running: filter changes, coil cleaning, refrigerant level checks, and electrical connections. We inspect rooftop units for wear, test controls for accuracy, and catch problems before they cause breakdowns.
For Foster City businesses, we understand local building requirements and can help you navigate PG&E rebate programs for energy-efficient upgrades. We also know which equipment works best in our coastal climate and can recommend solutions that actually fit your building’s needs.
Emergency service means we respond when your system fails, not when it’s convenient for us. Whether it’s a weekend, holiday, or middle of the night, we’ll get your business back to comfortable temperatures as quickly as possible.
Emergency commercial HVAC service typically costs double to triple regular rates, ranging from $140 to $600 per hour depending on the complexity and timing. Weekend and holiday calls usually fall on the higher end of this range.
The actual cost depends on what’s wrong with your system. A simple fix like replacing a fuse or resetting controls costs less than major repairs like compressor replacement or refrigerant leak detection. Most emergency calls in Foster City involve rooftop unit failures, which require specialized equipment and expertise.
This is exactly why preventative maintenance contracts make financial sense. Regular service visits cost $200-500 but prevent most emergency situations, saving you thousands in after-hours repair costs.
We service the full range of Foster City’s commercial buildings, from tech campuses and biotech labs to retail centers and office complexes. Each type has different HVAC demands, and we’ve developed expertise in all of them over our 40 years in Santa Clara County.
Tech facilities often need precise temperature control for equipment protection. Retail spaces require consistent comfort for customers. Restaurants need powerful ventilation systems that can handle heat and humidity. We understand these differences and tailor our service accordingly.
Older commercial buildings in Foster City present unique challenges with aging ductwork and obsolete equipment. We’re experienced in finding parts for older systems and upgrading them to modern efficiency standards while working within existing building constraints.
Most commercial HVAC systems in Foster City need maintenance every three to six months, depending on usage and environmental factors. Buildings with high occupancy or specialized equipment may need more frequent service.
Foster City’s coastal climate means your system deals with salt air and temperature variations that can accelerate wear on outdoor units. Regular filter changes every 1-3 months are essential, and coil cleaning should happen at least twice yearly to maintain efficiency.
We recommend seasonal maintenance before peak summer and winter months when your system works hardest. This timing catches problems before they cause breakdowns during the times you need HVAC most. A good maintenance contract includes priority scheduling and discounted repair rates.
Commercial HVAC systems are larger, more complex, and operate under different demands than residential systems. They typically run longer hours, serve more people, and require specialized knowledge of commercial equipment like rooftop units, chillers, and boiler systems.
Commercial service also involves different regulations and building codes. In Foster City, commercial buildings must comply with Title 24 energy efficiency standards and local permitting requirements that don’t apply to homes. We handle all the paperwork and compliance issues.
The stakes are higher too. When a home system fails, a family is uncomfortable. When a commercial system fails, your business loses money every hour it’s down. That’s why we prioritize commercial emergency calls and maintain inventory of common commercial parts.
Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance contracts tailored to Foster City commercial buildings. These contracts include regular inspections, filter changes, coil cleaning, and priority emergency service when problems do occur.
Contract customers get discounted repair rates, which often pays for the maintenance cost when you need just one repair per year. More importantly, you get predictable budgeting instead of surprise emergency bills that can run thousands of dollars.
We customize each contract based on your building’s specific needs. A small office needs different service than a restaurant or retail space. The contract includes everything necessary to keep your system running efficiently and extends equipment life significantly.
Call us immediately—we provide 24/7 emergency service for Foster City businesses. Don’t wait until morning if your system has completely failed, especially during extreme weather when employee and customer comfort is critical.
While waiting for service, check simple things like circuit breakers and thermostat settings, but don’t attempt repairs yourself. Commercial HVAC systems operate at higher voltages and pressures than residential units, making DIY repairs dangerous.
If possible, isolate the affected area and use portable units temporarily for critical spaces. Document what happened before the failure—unusual noises, temperature changes, or error codes—as this information helps our technicians diagnose problems faster when they arrive.
