Commercial Hospital & Lab Ventilation in Orange, CA

Why healthcare facilities in Orange choose #1 AC Guys

As a family business in its fourth generation, #1 AC Guys brings more than 80 years of cumulative engineering expertise to high‑stakes healthcare and laboratory environments. Our factory‑trained team (Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, Haier) delivers robust, energy‑aware ventilation that protects patients, staff, and research outcomes—without compromising code compliance or uptime.

Built for compliance and accreditation

We design and service systems aligned with ASHRAE 170, California Title 24, HCAI (OSHPD) requirements, CDC guidelines, NFPA 99, USP 797/800 for sterile compounding, and ISO/IEST cleanroom practices. From air change rates and filtration to pressure differentials and ventilation effectiveness, our approach helps support Joint Commission readiness and day‑to‑day operational reliability.

Spaces we engineer and support

• Isolation Rooms (AIIR/PE): Stable negative or positive pressure with dedicated exhaust, HEPA filtration, and real‑time pressure monitoring.
• Operating Rooms: Laminar or low‑turbulence airflow, controlled temperature and humidity, and proper ACH with staged redundancy.
• Pharmacies & Cleanrooms: USP 797/800‑aligned pressure cascades, HEPA/ULPA filtration, clean make‑up air, and compliant exhaust strategies.
• Laboratories & BSL Suites: Room‑level pressure control, fume hood diversity and tracking, specialty exhaust, and energy‑recovery make‑up air.
• Imaging, Central Sterile, NICU, ICU, ED, Dental/Oral Surgery: Tailored ventilation and controls to meet clinical use and local code expectations.

Our engineering approach

We start with data: load calculations, occupancy and process requirements, equipment heat gains, and local climate considerations for Orange, CA. We then right‑size air handlers, fan arrays, energy recovery, and filtration to achieve target ACH and pressure relationships (negative, neutral, positive) with tight tolerance. Typical solutions include DOAS paired with VRF or chilled‑water AHUs, ECM fan technology, energy recovery wheels/plates, demand‑controlled ventilation, and UV‑C/HEPA final filtration where specified. We coordinate controls strategies through BAS integration with room pressure monitors, alarms, data logging, and trending so staff can verify performance at a glance.

Installation, commissioning, and validation support

From BIM coordination and ICRA planning to factory startup, TAB, and functional performance testing, our team delivers a smooth path to occupancy. We provide clean build protocols, as‑built airflow and pressure documentation, and training for facilities teams. Need third‑party certification? We work seamlessly with validation and certification partners for cleanrooms, hoods, and critical spaces.

Retrofits and expansions without disruption

Working in active healthcare settings requires precision and respect for operations. We phase work to protect patient care, isolate construction zones, and maintain required pressurization and filtration at all times. Our goal: zero unplanned downtime and clear communication from kickoff through closeout.

Planned maintenance and 24/7 response

Healthcare ventilation demands vigilance. We offer preventive maintenance tailored to code‑driven schedules—filter changeouts, coil and drain hygiene, fan and damper calibration, sensor verification, and pressure setpoint audits. When every minute matters, our rapid‑response crews are on call 24/7 for alarms, loss of pressure, equipment faults, or IAQ events.

Local to Orange, serving Southern California

We proudly serve medical and research facilities in the City of Orange and greater Orange County, with extended coverage across Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Our Southern California roots—combined with deep healthcare know‑how—mean faster mobilization, better vendor access, and solutions tuned to local codes and climate.

Manufacturers and technologies we trust

Our engineers maintain factory training with leading global manufacturers, including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). We specify and integrate technologies for reliability, cleanability, and lifecycle value—because in hospitals and labs, resilience is non‑negotiable.
