Wake County Businesses Rely on AC Today

We focus on small-to-mid-size commercial: 2,000 to 25,000 sq ft. Properties large enough to need expert HVAC, small enough to receive the senior-tech attention national chains save for industrial accounts.

Restaurants

High-volume cooling + makeup air systems. Quick-turn emergency service so revenue doesn't pause.

Medical Offices

Specialized air filtration (HEPA, MERV 13+) for clinical air quality compliance. Reliable cooling for sensitive medical equipment.

Retail Stores

Front-of-house comfort drives sales. We size systems for retail traffic + display lighting heat loads.

Professional Offices

Multi-zone Daikin VRV-Life for offices where individual rooms need independent temperature control.

Mixed-Use Buildings

Coordinated rooftop units, ductless retrofits, and centralized building management for multi-tenant properties.

Education + Training

Classrooms, training facilities, and educational spaces with specific occupancy + air-quality requirements.

Our Commercial HVAC Services

From single-RTU restaurants to multi-zone medical offices, we handle the full commercial HVAC lifecycle.

RTU (Rooftop Unit) Service

Most NC commercial buildings use rooftop units (RTUs) — typically 5 to 25 ton capacity per unit. We service Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Daikin commercial RTUs including condenser coil cleaning, compressor diagnostics, economizer repair, and refrigerant management.

Mini-Split + Multi-Zone Installation

Daikin VRV-Life or Mitsubishi City Multi systems for offices with 4-16 zones. One outdoor unit, independent indoor control per office/conference room. Ideal for professional offices, medical practices, and small mixed-use.

Preventive Maintenance Contracts

Quarterly or bi-annual service plans tailored to your equipment. Includes coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, electrical testing, filter replacement, and combustion analysis. Predictable annual cost vs surprise repair calls.

Indoor Air Quality (Commercial)

MERV 13+ filtration, UV-C disinfection (critical post-COVID for restaurants + medical), bipolar ionization, dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS), and humidity control for sensitive equipment or compliance environments.

Energy Efficiency Audits + Upgrades

Older commercial HVAC commonly runs at 50-70% of nameplate efficiency. Audits identify upgrade ROI — including federal commercial tax credits (Section 179D), utility rebates (Duke, Dominion), and accelerated depreciation.

24/7 Emergency Commercial Dispatch

When commercial HVAC fails, you're losing revenue every hour. Our priority commercial dispatch routes to a senior tech within 90 minutes during business hours, 2-3 hours overnight. Pre-existing customers get faster response.

Why Wake County Businesses Choose AC Today

Senior Techs Only

Every commercial visit is by a senior NATE-certified tech with 10+ years. National chains rotate journeymen + apprentices through commercial — we don't.

Revenue-Aware Response

We understand that commercial downtime = lost revenue. Our commercial dispatch is faster than residential during business hours.

Transparent Contracts

Annual maintenance contracts include hourly rate caps, parts pricing schedules, and emergency surcharge clarity. No surprises on invoices.

Daikin VRV Specialists

Daikin VRV-Life systems are increasingly common in NC's premium commercial market. We're factory-certified — most local competitors aren't.

Family-Owned Reliability
