Hear from Our Customers
When your commercial HVAC system works right, your business runs smoothly. Your employees stay productive in comfortable temperatures. Your customers don’t notice the climate because it’s perfect. Your energy bills stay predictable instead of spiking unexpectedly.
That’s what happens when you work with technicians who understand commercial systems inside and out. We’ve been keeping San Mateo County businesses comfortable since 1985, and we know exactly what it takes to prevent the problems that shut down operations.
Whether you’re running a busy restaurant in downtown San Mateo, managing a retail space in Redwood City, or overseeing office buildings in Foster City, your HVAC system needs to work every single day. One breakdown during peak business hours can cost you more than a year of maintenance contracts.
Since 1985, we at Eco Air Home Services have been the go-to commercial HVAC company for San Mateo County businesses that can’t afford downtime. What started as a family business has grown into a team of experienced technicians who understand that when your HVAC system fails, your entire operation suffers.
We’ve seen every type of commercial system imaginable. From the aging rooftop units on 1970s office buildings to the latest energy-efficient systems in new retail developments. Our technicians aren’t just certified—they’re the same faces you’ll see year after year, building relationships with your property managers and understanding exactly how your building operates.
In San Mateo County’s unique coastal climate, where mild winters can suddenly turn cold and warm summers can spike unexpectedly, your commercial HVAC system needs to adapt quickly. We know these local conditions because we’ve been working in them for four decades.
First, we respond fast. When you call with an HVAC emergency, we understand that every minute your system is down costs your business money. Our technicians arrive with fully stocked trucks and diagnostic equipment that can identify problems quickly, not after multiple trips.
Next, we explain everything in plain English before we start any work. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong, what it’ll cost to fix, and how long your business will be affected. No surprises, no hidden fees, no technical jargon that leaves you wondering what you’re paying for.
Finally, we fix it right the first time using commercial-grade parts designed for the demands of business operations. We don’t just patch problems—we solve them completely so you can focus on running your business instead of worrying about your HVAC system.
After the repair, we’ll walk you through what happened and give you practical advice on preventing similar issues. Many of our commercial clients also set up preventive maintenance schedules that catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies.

Your San Mateo County business gets comprehensive HVAC services designed specifically for commercial operations. We handle everything from emergency repairs on rooftop units to complete system installations in new office buildings.
For restaurants and retail spaces, we understand that indoor air quality directly affects your customers’ experience. Poor ventilation can drive customers away, while inconsistent temperatures make employees less productive. Our commercial-grade solutions ensure your space stays comfortable even during peak business hours.
Office buildings and medical facilities have different requirements entirely. These spaces need precise temperature control, reliable operation during business hours, and systems that comply with California’s strict energy efficiency standards. We design and maintain systems that keep your operating costs predictable while meeting all regulatory requirements.
San Mateo County’s growing business district means more commercial properties are upgrading to energy-efficient HVAC systems. We help property managers and business owners navigate rebate programs and tax incentives that can significantly reduce the cost of new installations or major upgrades.
We prioritize commercial emergency calls because we understand that every hour your HVAC system is down directly impacts your business revenue. Most emergency calls in San Mateo County get same-day service, often within a few hours of your call.
Our technicians carry commercial-grade parts and diagnostic equipment in their trucks, which means we can often complete repairs during the first visit instead of ordering parts and scheduling return trips. For businesses that can’t afford any downtime, we also offer emergency service contracts that guarantee even faster response times.
During peak seasons—like summer heat waves or unexpected cold snaps—we extend our hours and bring in additional crews to ensure every commercial client gets the urgent service they need to keep operating.
We service every type of commercial HVAC system commonly found in San Mateo County, from small retail spaces to large office complexes. This includes rooftop units, split systems, heat pumps, boilers, commercial furnaces, and ductless mini-split systems.
Many of the office buildings in downtown San Mateo and Redwood City have older rooftop units that require specialized knowledge to maintain properly. We’ve been working on these systems for decades and keep the right parts in stock to minimize downtime.
For newer commercial properties, we’re experienced with energy-efficient systems, smart thermostats, and zoned climate control that allows different areas of your building to maintain different temperatures based on occupancy and usage patterns.
Yes, and most of our commercial clients find that preventive maintenance contracts save them significant money compared to dealing with emergency repairs. These contracts include regular inspections, filter changes, system tune-ups, and priority scheduling for any repairs that do come up.
For San Mateo County businesses, we typically recommend maintenance visits twice per year—once before summer cooling season and once before winter heating season. This schedule catches small problems before they become expensive failures during peak demand periods.
Maintenance contract clients also receive discounted rates on repairs and replacement parts, plus they get priority scheduling for emergency calls. Many property managers find that the predictable monthly cost makes budgeting much easier than dealing with unexpected repair bills.
Commercial HVAC repair costs depend on the type of system, the extent of the problem, and the parts required, but we always provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Simple repairs like thermostat issues or filter replacements typically cost a few hundred dollars, while major component replacements can range into the thousands.
The good news is that many expensive repairs can be prevented with regular maintenance. A $300 annual maintenance visit can prevent a $3,000 compressor replacement or a $5,000 system failure that shuts down your business during peak season.
We also work with commercial clients to prioritize repairs based on their budget and business needs. Sometimes a temporary fix can keep you operational while you plan for a more comprehensive solution during a slower business period.
Absolutely. Many San Mateo County businesses are upgrading to more efficient HVAC systems to reduce operating costs and meet California’s energy efficiency requirements. We help you navigate the available rebates and tax incentives that can significantly offset the cost of upgrades.
Smart thermostats, variable-speed equipment, and zoned systems can reduce your energy bills by 20-40% while improving comfort throughout your building. For larger properties, we can also install building management systems that provide detailed energy usage data and allow remote monitoring of your HVAC performance.
We work with your utility company and local agencies to ensure you receive all available incentives for energy-efficient upgrades. Many of our commercial clients find that the energy savings pay for the upgrade costs within just a few years.
Commercial HVAC systems are larger, more complex, and operate under much more demanding conditions than residential systems. They need to maintain consistent temperatures in larger spaces, operate for longer hours, and handle varying occupancy loads throughout the day.
Our commercial technicians understand these unique demands and carry specialized tools and parts specifically for commercial applications. We also understand the urgency of commercial repairs—when your business HVAC system fails, you’re losing money every hour it’s not working.
We work around your business schedule whenever possible, often performing major repairs or installations during evenings or weekends to minimize disruption to your operations. Our goal is to keep your business running smoothly while ensuring your HVAC system operates reliably and efficiently.
