Restaurant HVAC service in West Orange and south Lake County
We handle restaurant HVAC across West Orange and south Lake County, from the rooftop unit over the dining room to the split system in the office. A kitchen puts more strain on the cooling than any office or shop, so we look at the whole load before we touch the unit. You hear back within the hour, and we take emergency calls until 11 PM.

A kitchen makes heat all day and the hood pulls air out of the building to deal with it. The cooling has to keep up with both, and the dining room is where you find out whether it does.
We're based in Winter Garden and work across West Orange and south Lake County. We look after rooftop package units, split systems, thermostats and controls, and the air balance between the kitchen and the front of house.

What fails in a restaurant, and what we do
Common restaurant HVAC problems
These are the problems you're most likely to call us about, with what we do about each one written beside it.
What goes wrongThe dining room is warm by the second seating.
What we doThe load first, then the unit
A kitchen adds heat all evening and the hood pulls cooled air out with the smoke. We look at what the unit is up against before we touch it: the heat, the airflow, and whether the unit is big enough for the room.
What goes wrongA unit dies on a Friday night with a full book.
What we doEmergency calls until 11 PM
Call the same number and you reach the same people. Tell us it's a restaurant and what the unit serves, and we'll tell you when we can be there.
What goes wrongYou can't close the dining room for a repair.
What we doScheduled between services
When the work is booked ahead, we can come early, late or between lunch and dinner. The visit happens while the room is quiet, and the front of house knows what's coming and when.
What goes wrongA number you need before the owner says yes.
What we doThe quote in writing, before any work
The quote says what's wrong, what it takes to fix and what it costs, with the repair-or-replace case if there is one. Nothing gets replaced until the owner has approved it in writing.
From the roof to the dining room
HVAC services for restaurants
These are the services that apply to your building, and what each one looks like there. Each one links to its own page with more detail.
- AC Repair We fix units that quit in the middle of service, dining rooms that won't hold temperature and thermostats the kitchen keeps fighting with. About AC Repair

- HVAC Maintenance We clean and check the coils and filters that take the kitchen's grease and heat, on a schedule instead of when the room gets warm. About HVAC Maintenance
- Indoor Air Quality We set the air balance between the kitchen and the front of house, and add filtration when the dining room smells like the kitchen. About Indoor Air Quality
Ready before the summer rush

A kitchen works the equipment harder than any office does. A plan gets the coils and filters cleaned of what the kitchen puts on them, before the first full room of summer.

- Covers
- The rooftop unit over the dining room, the split systems over the office and the bar, and the coils and filters that take the kitchen’s grease

Questions
Restaurant HVAC questions
These are the questions we hear most from commercial customers, answered the way we’d answer them on the phone.
Why is the dining room warm when the unit is running?
Usually because the unit is fighting the kitchen. Cooking makes heat all evening and the hood pulls the cooled air out of the building with it, so a unit that would be fine for the floor area alone is short for the real load. We measure the load with the kitchen running before we blame the unit.
Can you work between services so we don't close the dining room?
Yes, we schedule planned work between services or after close, agreed with you first, so the dining room stays open.
Do you work on walk-in coolers or reach-in refrigeration?
No, we don't work on walk-in coolers or reach-in refrigeration. We handle the heating, cooling and air for the building: the rooftop units, the split systems, the controls and the make-up air. Walk-ins and reach-ins are a job for a refrigeration contractor, and we'll tell you that on the phone rather than guess at them on your roof.
How fast do you respond to a commercial call?
You hear back within the hour with the name of whoever is coming and when they'll arrive. Emergency calls are answered until 11 PM.
