Why #1 AC Guys

We are a fourth‑generation, family‑owned HVAC engineering company with 80+ years of hands‑on experience across Los Angeles County and neighboring areas. Our engineers are factory‑trained by leading manufacturers (Fujitsu in Japan, Mitsubishi Electric in Thailand, Midea, Gree, Haier in China) and are deeply versed in commercial ventilation best practices. We specialize in large and complex projects that demand careful load calculations, thoughtful routing, and precise commissioning. Expect clean workmanship, clear communication, and documentation your AHJ will appreciate.

Code, Safety, and Documentation

Your system will be designed and installed with local and state requirements in mind, including NFPA 96 for grease ducts/fans, the California Mechanical Code, and Title 24 energy standards. We coordinate with Glendale Building & Safety, provide submittals and cut sheets, and can assist with permit packages, engineering stamps when required, and seismic bracing details. Need to pass inspection, reduce noise, or correct an airflow shortfall? We diagnose, right‑size, and balance the system so it performs as specified.

Services We Offer

New installation and design‑build
Replacement and retrofit of aging fans and controls
Motor swaps, belt/pulley service, bearing and wheel replacements
Grease fan upgrades to UL 762, spark‑resistant options where required
Ductwork modifications, curb/curb adapter fabrication
VFD commissioning, sensor integration, and control tuning
Preventive maintenance plans and emergency repairs
Airflow testing, smoke capture verification, and full TAB reports

Signs Your Exhaust System Needs Attention

Persistent heat, smoke, or odors in occupied spaces
Grease streaks on rooftops or around fan housings
Frequent breaker trips, belt squeal, or vibration
Uneven capture at hoods or poor restroom venting
Failed inspections or notices to comply

If any of these look familiar, we’ll pinpoint the root cause and provide options—repair, rebuild, or replace—so you can make a confident decision.

Our Process

1) Site assessment and airflow review (CFM targets, static pressure, capture needs)
2) Engineering and equipment selection (fan type, motor/drive, acoustics, energy)
3) Proposal with transparent scope, timeline, and warranty
4) Permit support and coordination with your GC or facilities team
5) Professional installation, startup, and commissioning
6) TAB, punch list, and training for your staff
7) Ongoing maintenance to protect uptime and efficiency

Energy and Comfort Without Compromise

Right‑sized fans, properly sealed ducts, and smart controls (VFDs, demand sensors) deliver the airflow you need at the lowest practical energy cost. We optimize make‑up air to stabilize room pressures and temperatures, improving comfort while reducing HVAC load and utility spend.
