Commercial & Industrial Plant Cooling in Long Beach

Engineered Cooling for Demanding Long Beach Operations

#1 AC Guys delivers commercial and industrial plant cooling that keeps production steady, people safe, and energy costs under control. As a family business now in our 4th generation—with 80+ years of engineering experience—we specialize in large, complex projects where precision and reliability are non‑negotiable.

From waterfront facilities impacted by salt air to high‑density urban plants and distribution hubs, we design and maintain systems that stand up to Long Beach’s real‑world conditions while protecting your throughput and indoor air quality.

What We Do

• Design‑Build & Upgrades: Load calculations, process‑critical sizing, Title 24 compliance, and BIM‑coordinated layouts for new construction and retrofits.
• Industrial Chillers & Hydronics: Air‑cooled and water‑cooled chillers, heat‑recovery chillers, primary/secondary and variable‑flow hydronic loops, and glycol systems.
• Cooling Towers & Heat Rejection: Tower selection, drift control, water treatment coordination, and corrosion‑resistant designs for coastal environments.
• Process Cooling: Skids, heat exchangers, adiabatic dry coolers, and precise temperature/flow control for manufacturing lines and mission‑critical equipment.
• Commercial Comfort & Zoning: VRF/VRV, packaged rooftops, and precision AC for offices, labs, server rooms, and mezzanines tied to plant operations.
• Controls & Monitoring: BMS integration, smart sensors, remote alerts, and performance dashboards to predict issues before they impact uptime.
• Maintenance & 24/7 Response: Preventive, predictive, and reliability‑centered maintenance with emergency dispatch and contingency planning.

Healthy Air Is Our Mission

We believe healthy homes and workplaces fuel healthy lives. That’s why we engineer indoor air quality (IAQ) into every solution—high‑efficiency filtration (MERV‑13+), dedicated outdoor air systems, smart ventilation strategies, humidity control, and UV‑C options where appropriate. Cleaner air supports safety, product quality, and workforce well‑being.

Built for Long Beach Conditions

Coastal air, marine layer humidity, and industrial particulates demand resilient systems. We specify proper coil coatings, towers with corrosion‑resistant components, and enclosure strategies that extend life and protect performance. Our designs reduce fouling, simplify maintenance, and minimize unplanned downtime in port‑adjacent and industrial corridors.

Factory‑Trained Specialists

Our engineers are factory‑trained by leading global manufacturers—including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China)—bringing best‑practice commissioning, diagnostics, and controls optimization to your project. That training translates into tighter control bands, lower energy use, and longer equipment life across VRF, variable‑speed compressors, and advanced electronics.

Safety, Codes, and Compliance

We operate with an uncompromising safety culture: lockout/tagout, confined‑space readiness, fall protection, and hot‑work procedures. Our team designs and documents to industry and regional standards, including ASHRAE guidelines, California Title 24, South Coast AQMD considerations, Cal/OSHA, and applicable NFPA and mechanical codes. We also support GMP/cleanroom needs, food and beverage requirements, and environmental reporting where required.

Energy & Sustainability

Reduce operating costs and carbon impact with right‑sized equipment, VFDs, heat recovery, free‑cooling strategies, and optimized controls sequences. We evaluate refrigerant choices and assist with upgrades toward lower‑GWP options where practical, balancing performance, availability, and compliance.

Our Process

1. Assessment: Site walk, data logging, and process mapping to understand loads, variability, and constraints.
2. Engineering: Detailed calcs, submittals, and phasing plans to maintain production during installation.
3. Proposal: Clear scope, budget options, and ROI models aligned with your goals.
4. Execution: Safe, tightly scheduled installation with quality checks and stakeholder updates.
5. Commissioning: Functional performance testing, balancing, and controls tuning for peak efficiency.
6. Training & Handover: Operator training, O&M manuals, and preventive maintenance plans.
7. Lifecycle Support: Ongoing service, analytics, and continuous improvement to lock in savings.

Systems We Deliver

• Air‑cooled and water‑cooled chillers (scroll, screw, magnetic‑bearing)
• Cooling towers, adiabatic dry coolers, and heat exchangers
• VRF/VRV and packaged rooftop units for commercial spaces
• Glycol process loops and precise temperature control skids
• Dedicated outdoor air and energy recovery ventilation
• Precision cooling for labs, server rooms, and critical environments

Maintenance That Prevents Downtime

Our plans include vibration and oil analysis, tube cleaning, water‑treatment coordination, refrigerant health checks, and controls verification. Remote monitoring flags anomalies early, while our 24/7 service team responds rapidly with stocked trucks and a proven escalation process. Need a bridge solution? We can coordinate temporary cooling to keep production moving during change‑outs.

Service Area

We serve Long Beach and all of Los Angeles County, plus nearby Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Local crews, fast response, and parts sourcing tailored to Southern California supply chains.
