Why Petaluma Businesses Count On Us?
We understand local buildings and their heating challenges
Petaluma has a wide variety of commercial properties. Buildings in Historic Downtown often have older ductwork. Warehouses in the Petaluma Industrial Park deal with dust and high ceilings that strain heating systems. Offices along the North McDowell corridor rely on rooftop units that face heavy weather exposure. Retail stores near the Petaluma Village Premium Outlets face frequent door traffic that pushes heat systems to work harder.
We see these issues every week. That experience helps us diagnose fast and offer the right repair solution the first time.

Commercial heating repair involves high heat, electricity, gas lines, and safety controls. That is why our team includes EPA Section 608 certified technicians.

What We Repair?
Stouts Heating and Air Conditioning handles a full range of commercial heating problems.
Commercial furnace repair
We repair both gas and electric commercial furnaces. This includes burners, ignition systems, blower motors, limit switches, control boards, and safety sensors.
Heat pump repair in heating mode
Heat pumps can struggle in colder temperatures, especially in areas like Sonoma Mountain. We fix refrigerant issues, reversing valves, and airflow problems to restore proper heating.
Rooftop heating system repair
Rooftop units face wind, rain, sun, and temperature swings. These systems often fail due to electrical issues, blower motor wear, ignition problems, or dirty components. We repair all rooftop heating equipment.
Packaged unit heating repair
Many office buildings and retail stores rely on packaged units for both heating and cooling. If your packaged system is blowing cold air, cycling too often, or not turning on at all, we can diagnose and repair the issue.
Burner and ignition repair
If your heating system clicks repeatedly or will not ignite, the ignition system may be failing. We repair igniters, flame sensors, burners, and ignition controls.
Blower motor repair
Weak airflow or temperature imbalance in your building often means the blower motor is worn out or the belt is failing. We repair or replace the motor, belts, and bearings.
Thermostat and control system repair
Commercial thermostats and control systems can lose calibration or stop responding. We repair wiring, thermostat sensors, and control boards.
Gas valve and safety sensor repair
If a safety sensor or gas valve fails, the entire heating system shuts down to prevent hazards. We replace faulty components and ensure the system operates safely.
Carbon monoxide testing
We use digital tools to check carbon monoxide levels and inspect potential sources of leaks. If anything is unsafe, we shut the system down and guide you through corrective options.
Ductwork inspection and airflow balancing
Uneven temperatures across your building often come from airflow issues. We inspect ducts, check airflow pressure, repair small leaks, and perform balancing.
Emergency commercial heater repair
If your building is freezing and your staff cannot work comfortably, call us. We have rapid response appointments available.
Common Heating Problems in Petaluma Commercial Buildings
Here are problems we see often in areas like the Industrial Park, North McDowell District, Downtown Petaluma, the Lakeville Highway corridor, and East Washington Street.
Cold air blowing from vents
Often caused by ignition issues, gas valve problems, or heat pump mode failure.
Weak airflow
Usually tied to blower motor issues, dirty filters, or duct obstructions.
System will not turn on
A failed safety switch, control board issue, or electrical fault could be the cause.
Strange sounds like grinding or rattling
This often means a blower wheel or motor bearing is failing.
Hot and cold spots in different rooms
Airflow issues or duct balancing problems are common reasons for this.
Short cycling
When the heater turns on and off too fast, it wastes energy and wears out parts. Overheating, airflow blockages, and sensor issues are usually to blame.
Higher energy bills than normal
If the system is struggling, it uses more fuel or electricity. Dirty burners, bad motors, or malfunctioning sensors could be the cause.
