Cooling Tower Experts for LA’s Most Demanding Commercial Projects

Design‑build engineering, seismic‑ready installations, VFD and BMS integration, and ASHRAE‑aligned water management—delivered by a 4th‑generation family team. Serving Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside.

Design‑Build Cooling Tower Installation Built for Los Angeles

When your building’s comfort and process cooling depend on a reliable heat‑rejection system, you need an installation partner who understands load diversity, microclimates, water availability, and California’s evolving codes. #1 AC Guys provides end‑to‑end commercial cooling tower solutions—engineering, permitting, rigging, structural steel, vibration isolation, electrical and controls, water treatment, and commissioning—optimized for long‑term efficiency and uptime.

What We Deliver

- Comprehensive load and lifecycle analysis to right‑size crossflow or counterflow systems, open or closed‑circuit fluid coolers.
- Energy strategies including VFD fan drives, premium efficiency motors, optimized approach temperatures, and low‑kW/ton performance.
- Seismic anchorage and vibration control engineered for LA conditions, with stamped calculations where required.
- Quiet operation through acoustic analysis, low‑sound fans, and discharge attenuation for dense urban sites.
- BMS/BAS integration (BACnet/Modbus), redundancy planning (N+1), and digital trend logging for predictive maintenance.
- Water management planning aligned with ASHRAE 188 and local guidance to address Legionella risk, scaling, and corrosion—including side‑stream filtration, drift eliminators, and safe biocide practices.

Turnkey Process

1) Site Assessment & Feasibility: Roof/grade space, structure, crane access, electrical capacity, water quality, and discharge constraints.
2) Engineering & Permits: Title 24/CALGreen compliance, submittals, shop drawings, anchorage details, and LADBS coordination.
3) Rigging & Installation: Crane picks, rigging plans, curbs/steel, piping headers, make‑up water, heat exchangers, sensors, and controls.
4) Electrical & Controls: Starters/VFDs, safeties, BAS integration, and sequence of operations tuned for seasonal performance.
5) Water Treatment & Startup: Passivation, setpoints, drift verification, basin management, and documentation for your safety plan.
6) Commissioning & Training: Functional performance testing, punch lists, O&M manuals, and staff training for smooth handoff.

Sustainability and Total Cost of Ownership

We focus on long‑term economics: water‑ and energy‑efficient selections, materials suited to your water chemistry (galvanized, stainless, or FRP), fan and fill choices that balance performance with maintenance, and controls that reduce short‑cycling. Proper drift control, smart setpoints, and proactive water treatment protect occupants, extend asset life, and support ESG goals.

Retrofits, Replacements, and Expansions

From end‑of‑life tower replacements to capacity upgrades for tenant improvements or process growth, we coordinate shutdowns, temporary cooling, and phased work to minimize disruption. Our team evaluates steel reuse, riser rework, pump optimization, and heat‑exchanger pairing to maximize ROI.

Safety and Compliance

We build safety into every step: engineered lift plans, lockout/tagout, confined‑space protocols, fall protection, and water‑treatment handling. Our documentation supports AHJ inspections and your internal risk management frameworks.

Service Area

Los Angeles County and neighboring markets including Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Local experience means faster mobilization, better supplier coordination, and smoother permitting.
