Why Businesses Call Us First For AC Repair?
Local expertise that actually matters
Petaluma has unique conditions that affect cooling systems. Buildings near the Petaluma Riverfront often deal with moisture issues. Facilities in the Industrial Park face heavy dust and heat load. Stores near the Premium Outlets see constant door traffic that strains cooling. Offices in Historic Downtown often use older ductwork and equipment.
We understand the patterns in these areas because we work here every week. That local experience helps us solve problems faster and prevent repeat failures.

What We Repair?
Your commercial AC system has many moving parts. One small failure can cause temperature swings or full system shutdowns. Here is what we inspect and repair.
Commercial HVAC diagnostics
We use digital tools to test electrical components, refrigerant levels, coil temperatures, pressure readings, and airflow. This helps us find the true cause of the problem.
Rooftop AC unit repair
Rooftop units face sun exposure, debris, high heat, and constant wear. We repair compressors, fans, motors, belts, coils, control boards, and refrigerant leaks.
Packaged unit repair
Many retail stores and offices rely on packaged AC systems. If the unit is noisy, short cycling, leaking, or running nonstop, we diagnose and fix it.
Refrigerant leak detection
Low refrigerant is a major cause of poor cooling. Most people think adding refrigerant is enough, but it never lasts. You must fix the leak. We use commercial grade leak detectors to locate and repair the issue safely.
Compressor and condenser repair
The compressor is the heart of the system. When it starts to fail, you often see warm air, tripped breakers, or loud noises. We test and repair compressors, fan motors, and condenser components.
Evaporator coil cleaning and repair
Dirty coils cause weak airflow and higher energy bills. We clean and restore coils so your system cools properly.
Thermostat and control system repair
Commercial thermostats and control boards can fail or lose accuracy. We replace sensors, calibrate thermostats, and repair control wiring.
Variable speed motor replacement
Many commercial buildings use variable speed motors for better airflow control. If the motor stalls or overheats, we replace or repair it.
Blower and air handler repair
If your system has weak airflow or strange noises, we inspect and repair blower wheels, motors, belts, bearings, and electrical components.
Ductwork inspection and airflow correction
Leaking ducts waste energy and hurt comfort. We test airflow and seal minor duct leaks to restore balance.
Emergency commercial AC repair
If your system fails during business hours, call us. We help restore cooling fast so your operations stay on track.
Commercial HVAC maintenance
A big reason systems fail is lack of regular maintenance. We offer seasonal tune ups to reduce breakdowns and improve system reliability.
Signs Your Commercial AC System Needs Repair
Many business owners do not realize their system is failing until it completely stops. Here are warning signs to look for.
Warm air from vents
Often caused by low refrigerant or a failing compressor.
Uneven temperatures in different rooms
Airflow issues, duct leaks, or blocked coils can cause this.
Rising energy bills
Dirty coils, bad motors, or failing parts make the system work harder.
Strange noises
Grinding, rattling, or squealing often means worn parts or failing motors.
Water around the unit
Clogged drain lines or frozen coils can create leaks.
Frequent on and off cycling
Short cycling wastes power and can shut the system down permanently.
If you notice any of these signs in your building in areas like North McDowell, the Industrial Park, Downtown Petaluma, or East Petaluma, it is time to call a certified commercial HVAC tech.
