Commercial Hospital & Lab Ventilation in Glendale

Why Specialized Ventilation Matters in Healthcare and Labs

In Glendale’s healthcare and research environments, ventilation is more than comfort—it is safety, compliance, and operational continuity. Proper pressure relationships, air changes per hour, temperature and humidity control, and high-efficiency filtration help protect vulnerable patients, safeguard sterile production, and ensure accurate research results. #1 AC Guys delivers ventilation engineered for the exacting needs of hospitals, surgery centers, pharmacies, cleanrooms, and biosafety labs.

Fourth-Generation Expertise for Complex Projects

As a fourth-generation, family-owned HVAC company with more than 80 years of engineering experience, we thrive on challenging, high-stakes projects. Our factory-trained engineers have learned directly from global manufacturers including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). That depth of training helps us integrate equipment correctly, optimize performance, and support long-term reliability across diverse healthcare and lab applications.

Standards and Guidelines We Align With

• ASHRAE 170 for ventilation of healthcare facilities
• FGI Guidelines for design of healthcare facilities
• ANSI/AIHA Z9.5 for laboratory ventilation
• USP 797/800 for sterile and hazardous drug compounding
• Best practices for BSL environments and cleanroom classifications

Our documentation, submittals, and commissioning packages are prepared to support regulatory review and HCAI-ready healthcare projects in California.

Design-Build, Retrofits, and Phased Upgrades

From new Glendale facilities to occupied retrofits, we coordinate closely with your clinical, facilities, and EH&S stakeholders to minimize disruption. We provide design-build delivery, engineer-of-record collaboration, equipment right-sizing, and carefully staged cutovers to maintain critical operations. For older wings and renovations, we solve space constraints, routing challenges, and legacy control issues while improving airflow stability and energy performance.

Commissioning, TAB, and Validation Support

Our team performs comprehensive test, adjust, and balance; verifies pressure cascades; checks air changes per hour; calibrates sensors; and documents results for your compliance files. We coordinate pre-functional and functional testing, assist with integrated system testing, and provide turnover packages that include O&M materials, as-built updates, and training for your staff.

Controls, Monitoring, and Alarms

We integrate room pressure monitors, sash sensors for fume hoods, filter-loading alerts, and BMS dashboards that give your team real-time insight and actionable alarms. Trend logs help demonstrate compliance, simplify audits, and identify optimization opportunities across Glendale campuses and satellite clinics.

Preventive Maintenance and 24/7 Emergency Response

Healthcare and lab operations cannot wait. We offer proactive PM programs tailored to critical spaces—filter changes, belt and bearing checks, damper verification, control recalibration, and IAQ testing—backed by rapid emergency response available 24/7. Our goal is to reduce downtime, extend asset life, and keep your ventilation performing within spec.

Local Focus: Glendale and Greater Los Angeles

Based in Los Angeles County, we serve Glendale and nearby communities such as Burbank, Pasadena, Atwater Village, and Eagle Rock—plus projects across Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Whether you operate a hospital campus, outpatient clinic, compounding pharmacy, university lab, or biotech facility, our team is ready to mobilize.
