Commercial Variable Air Volume (VAV) Box Repair in Fontana

Commercial Variable Air Volume systems demand more than part swapping—they require engineering‑grade troubleshooting, precise adjustments, and careful balancing. That’s where #1 AC Guys excels. As a family‑run HVAC firm in Southern California, we proudly serve Fontana and nearby Inland Empire locations with advanced diagnostics and lasting repairs tailored to complex commercial buildings.

Common VAV Box Problems We Fix

• Unresponsive or stuck dampers due to failed or misaligned actuators
• Temperature swings and hot/cold spots from faulty thermistors or averaging sensors
• Noisy diffusers, whistling, or vibration caused by improper airflow or pressure
• Inadequate ventilation and poor IAQ from out‑of‑tolerance minimum airflow settings
• Reheat coil issues (electric or hot water): tripped safeties, failed relays, valves, or elements
• DDC logic faults, communication errors, or unstable control loops
• Static pressure instability between the air handler and downstream VAVs
• Condensation, sweating, or insulation failures leading to comfort and moisture complaints

Our Diagnostic Process: Engineered, Not Guesswork

We apply a methodical approach that verifies the entire air path and control sequence. Expect a clear, documented plan and a measurable result at hand‑off.

• Interview and history: occupant complaints, schedules, recent work, and BMS trends
• Safety and baseline: lockout/tagout, nameplate checks, and initial temperature/pressure readings
• Airflow verification: pitot or vane anemometer checks, duct static pressure taps, and diffuser readings
• Actuator and damper inspection: linkage alignment, end‑stops, calibration, and feedback
• Sensor validation: location, drift testing, and recalibration/replacement
• Controls review: minimum/maximum cfm setpoints, reheat enable, reset logic, and economizer interaction
• System tuning: harmonizing VAV setpoints with AHU supply temperature and fan control strategy
• Functional test: confirm stable temperatures, pressures, and noise levels across representative zones

Preventive Maintenance for VAV Systems

Preventing failures is far less disruptive than reacting to them. Our proactive care helps maintain comfort and compliance while containing energy use.

• Seasonal testing of actuators, dampers, and end‑stops
• Calibration of temperature sensors and airflow stations
• Verification of minimum/maximum cfm setpoints and ventilation rates
• Inspection of reheat coils, valves, relays, safeties, and wiring
• Static pressure review and diffuser noise mitigation
• DDC sequence checks, trend review, and point‑by‑point validation
• Documentation and recommendations for energy and comfort improvements

Transparent Pricing and Scheduling

After diagnostics, you’ll receive a clear, itemized quote outlining parts, labor, and timelines. Most VAV box repairs—such as actuator replacement, sensor swaps, or reheat corrections—are completed with minimal disruption. For broader issues (e.g., control reprogramming or multi‑zone rebalancing), we coordinate work in phases to keep your building productive.

Results You Can Measure

Upon completion, we verify supply and room temperatures, static pressure, and zone airflow setpoints, then document improvements with before/after readings. If your site uses a BMS, we align parameters with the approved sequence of operations for predictable comfort and energy savings.
