Commercial equipment we service
Metro Atlanta's commercial stock is dominated by packaged rooftop units — the big boxes on every strip mall, restaurant and small office from Buckhead to Lawrenceville — plus commercial split systems and ductless equipment in smaller suites. Repairs cover:
- Rooftop units (RTUs): compressors, economizers, blower assemblies, heat exchangers, control boards and belt drives
- Commercial splits: the same component list as residential, at 5–25 ton scale
- Economizers and ventilation: stuck dampers and failed actuators that quietly wreck both comfort and energy bills
- Controls and thermostats: commercial programmable stats, zone controls and lockouts
- Make-up air and kitchen-adjacent equipment: the ventilation side that keeps restaurant kitchens legal and workable
Who we work with
Restaurants and food service (where a down unit means lost service), retail and strip-mall tenants, small office buildings and property managers, medical and professional suites, and houses of worship. Each has its own constraint — service hours, access, documentation for ownership — and the visit is planned around it. For property managers, written findings and pricing before work is standard practice, not a favor.
Why commercial work needs the right license class
Georgia issues Conditioned Air Contractor licenses in two classes: Class I (restricted to residential-scale equipment) and Class II (unrestricted). Commercial systems — the tonnage, the voltages, the rooftop gas connections — require Class II. The contractors we route for commercial calls hold the unrestricted class, carry commercial liability coverage, and handle refrigerant under EPA Section 608 certification. Ask for the license number when you book and verify it free on the Georgia Secretary of State website — any legitimate commercial contractor expects the question.
Emergencies and maintenance
A failed RTU in August is an emergency for a business in a way it never is for a house. Commercial calls are prioritized during staffed hours, and partner contractors offer after-hours response where available with the surcharge stated upfront. The cheaper path is the maintenance agreement: quarterly coil cleaning, belts, filters and electrical checks catch the capacitor and contactor failures before they take a unit down on the hottest Saturday of the year. Most commercial clients move to a maintenance plan after exactly one emergency invoice.

Frequently asked questions
What commercial HVAC systems do you repair?
Rooftop packaged units (RTUs), commercial split systems, and ductless/VRF-style equipment in small-to-mid commercial spaces — restaurants, offices, retail, medical suites. Partner contractors for commercial work hold Georgia's unrestricted Conditioned Air Contractor license class; ask for the license number when booking any commercial job.
How much does commercial HVAC repair cost in Atlanta?
Commercial diagnostic visits typically run $150–$350 given rooftop access and system size. Repairs follow the same logic as residential but scale with tonnage: capacitors and contactors $200–$600, fan motors $400–$1,500, compressors $2,000–$6,000+ on larger RTUs. After-hours commercial surcharges apply for night and weekend work — quoted before dispatch.
Can you work around our business hours?
Yes — restaurants, retail and offices regularly book early-morning and evening windows so work happens outside service hours. Rooftop work is scheduled with property management for access and any required permits. Say what your constraints are when you call and the appointment is built around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for commercial buildings?
Partner contractors offer preventive maintenance agreements — quarterly or monthly filter changes, coil cleaning, belt and electrical checks — which is how most commercial clients avoid the emergency call entirely. Terms and pricing depend on the equipment count; ask when you call.
A rooftop unit died during service — how fast can someone come?
During staffed hours (7 AM–9 PM ET), commercial emergencies are prioritized — a restaurant with no AC in August loses revenue by the hour, and dispatch treats it that way. You get a real arrival window on the phone, and the technician arrives with the parts pattern for the common RTU failures.
