Healthy air first: options that matter

We prioritize indoor air quality without sacrificing efficiency. Ask about upgraded filtration (MERV‑13 where the system supports it), outdoor air economizers with proper relief, demand‑control ventilation using CO₂ sensors, and coil and drain pan strategies that reduce biological growth. The result: cleaner air, steadier comfort, and fewer complaints.

Downey‑ready, business‑friendly scheduling

We coordinate crane lifts around your hours, stage equipment to protect landscaping and parking, and keep paths clear for customers and staff. Our team communicates milestones and photos so you always know where the project stands.

Commissioning that proves performance

Every Daikin RTU install is validated with a step‑by‑step commissioning checklist: fan speeds and static pressure, gas pressure or heat pump performance, economizer sequence, control setpoints, safety trips, and temperature split. Detailed results are provided for your records and for compliance.

Our engineering DNA

#1 AC Guys is a family of engineers in its 4th generation, with 80+ years of engineering experience behind our methods, calculations, and quality assurance. Our technicians and project leads are trained by manufacturers at their facilities, including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China).

Daikin RTU expertise without disruption

We have extensive experience installing and replacing Daikin rooftop units in occupied buildings. From like‑for‑like swaps to capacity upgrades, we anticipate roof clearances, condensate routing, gas line sizing, breaker capacity, and control compatibility before day one. Where possible, we fabricate curb adapters to match existing roof curbs, helping avoid new penetrations and keeping the building watertight.

• Retail, strip malls, big‑box, and grocery
• Restaurants and food service with make‑up air considerations
• Offices and co‑working spaces with variable occupancy
• Medical, dental, and wellness suites prioritizing filtration
• Schools, churches, and civic buildings
• Light industrial, flex, and warehouses

Energy and controls options

Daikin RTUs paired with VFD supply fans, high‑efficiency heat exchangers, economizers, and smart thermostats can reduce energy use significantly. We also integrate with building automation systems via BACnet and implement staged cooling, supply air reset, and ventilation strategies to meet comfort at the lowest cost. Our team provides utility‑friendly settings and acceptance testing where required.
