Commercial School HVAC Systems in Glendale, CA

From classrooms and libraries to science labs, gyms, and administration wings, #1 AC Guys delivers performance‑driven HVAC for Glendale schools. Our mission is simple: healthier air for healthier lives—designed and executed by seasoned engineers who understand how learning environments must feel, sound, and perform all day, every day.

What we do for schools

• Design‑build and plan‑spec execution for new construction, modernizations, and additions
• High‑efficiency retrofits of aging packaged RTUs, split systems, boilers, and chillers
• VRF heat pump systems for zoning, quiet operation, and shoulder‑season efficiency
• Demand‑controlled ventilation with CO2 sensors for balanced IAQ and energy savings
• MERV 13+ filtration strategies and properly specified UV‑C options where appropriate
• DDC controls upgrades, fault detection, and integration with existing BMS
• Commissioning, re‑commissioning, and ongoing preventive maintenance

Every project starts with precise load calculations, ventilation baselines, and acoustical considerations for quieter classrooms. We align sequences of operation with instructional schedules, after‑hours use, and seasonal needs.

Engineering you can measure

As a fourth‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering, we bring deep technical rigor to commercial school HVAC. Our field teams and project engineers coordinate submittals, Title 24 documentation, and commissioning plans so your district receives a complete, code‑compliant package with clear, verifiable performance targets.

Our engineers trained at manufacturer facilities—Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China)—so you benefit from product‑level insight on system selection, application limits, and controls strategies that protect equipment life and occupant comfort.

Systems we service and install

• VRF/VRV heat pump systems with heat recovery for simultaneous heating/cooling
• Packaged rooftop units (gas/electric and heat pump), DOAS with energy recovery
• Hydronic plants: high‑efficiency boilers, air‑cooled/water‑cooled chillers, pumps, coils
• Fan coil units, unit ventilators, ductless and ducted mini‑splits for special‑use spaces
• Kitchen hoods and make‑up air, gym and auditorium ventilation, nurse’s office filtration
• DDC controls, zone sensors, CO2 monitoring, and smart scheduling for occupancy

We design around California Title 24, local Glendale and Los Angeles County requirements, and ASHRAE 62.1/55 best practices to balance IAQ, comfort, and energy. Where existing infrastructure is constrained, we create phased, constructible solutions that fit real‑world budgets and timelines.

Healthy air, real results

Learning outcomes and attendance improve when classrooms are comfortable and well ventilated. We help districts adopt practical IAQ enhancements—right‑sized outdoor air, verified filtration, tight ductwork, and thoughtful control sequences—without overcomplicating operations. Our service programs verify that design intent holds up in the field through seasonal tune‑ups, coil cleaning, filter plans, and control optimization.

Glendale focus, Southern California reach

Headquartered in Los Angeles County, we serve Glendale schools and extend throughout the region, including Los Angeles County and nearby areas such as Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Whether your campus is modernizing a single building or coordinating a district‑wide upgrade, we scale the team and logistics to meet your goals.

Procurement and support

We assist with budgeting, equipment selection, submittals, and documentation—streamlining approvals and helping owners compare lifecycle options. Our commissioning and turnover process includes as‑builts, training for site staff, and maintenance plans matched to your equipment mix.

If your facilities face hot‑spot classrooms, humidity swings, rising energy bills, or frequent alarms, we can diagnose root causes and implement durable fixes. From airflow imbalances to control conflicts, our engineering‑driven approach tackles the issues others skip.
