Commercial School HVAC Systems in Long Beach

At #1 AC Guys, our mission is simple: healthier air for a healthier life. As a fourth‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering, we bring an engineering‑first mindset to commercial school HVAC in Long Beach—balancing indoor air quality, acoustics, energy efficiency, and durability so learning environments perform at a high level year‑round.

Engineering for Long Beach Schools—From Concept to Commissioning

We partner with districts, private schools, and higher‑ed facilities to deliver design‑build, plan‑spec, and retrofit solutions. Our team evaluates existing infrastructure, load profiles, ventilation needs, and utility constraints to propose right‑sized systems with clear payback logic. We coordinate with facilities teams to phase work around the academic calendar, minimizing downtime and avoiding disruption to testing periods and events.

Our engineers are factory‑educated at Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China), and we leverage those platforms to deploy heat‑pump and VRF/mini‑split strategies where they make sense—delivering quiet operation, zoning flexibility, and strong seasonal efficiency. We integrate controls, economizers, ventilation upgrades, and smart schedules to meet performance goals and comply with California Title 24 requirements.

AC PRO–Supplied Solutions for Speed and Reliability

We source equipment and parts through AC PRO locations across Southern California to keep projects moving with dependable lead times and consistent quality. That means faster turnarounds for emergency replacements, easier standardization across campuses, and ready access to OEM‑grade components and filters. Our AC PRO supply channel supports VRF/mini‑split systems, packaged units, ductless and ducted solutions, ERVs, and advanced controls—so your Long Beach campus gets a tailored, scalable system that’s serviceable and future‑ready.

Healthy Indoor Air for Learning

We prioritize IAQ because clean, well‑ventilated spaces support attendance, focus, and comfort. Our school HVAC designs can include:

• MERV 13+ filtration and optional local HEPA strategies for sensitive areas
• Optimized outside air and demand‑controlled ventilation using CO₂ sensing
• Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) to reduce heating/cooling load while maintaining fresh air
• Quiet fan selections, vibration isolation, and acoustic treatments for low noise levels
• Moisture control and smart dehumidification strategies to protect finishes and equipment

We document airflow rates and balance systems so classrooms, labs, gyms, cafeterias, offices, libraries, and auditoriums meet targeted ventilation and comfort metrics. Our commissioning process validates operation at the equipment and system levels, and our maintenance plans protect those gains for the long term.

Project Types We Handle

• New construction HVAC for schools and higher education
• Major retrofits and phased replacements across multi‑building campuses
• Heat‑pump conversions and electrification roadmaps
• VRF/mini‑split zoning for portables and additions
• Packaged rooftop unit upgrades with economizers
• Ventilation refresh projects to improve IAQ and meet current guidance
• Controls modernization, DDC integration, and scheduling optimization
• Seismic bracing, code updates, and Title 24 compliance support

Services Built for Facilities Teams

• Load calculations, system selection, and value engineering
• Design‑build, plan‑spec bids, and peer review
• Installation, startup, test and balance (TAB), and documentation
• Preventive maintenance, seasonal tune‑ups, and filter programs
• Predictive diagnostics and performance reporting
• Emergency repairs and rapid replacement strategies
• Utility rebate guidance and retrofit planning

We communicate proactively with operations and custodial teams, set clear milestones, and keep sites clean and safe. When needed, we schedule off‑hours and weekend work to avoid class disruptions. Our crews are trained to manage occupied‑building logistics—barriers, signage, noise control, and quick start/stop procedures that keep the school day on track.

Systems and Components We Work With

Our commercial capabilities span high‑efficiency heat pumps, VRF/mini‑split systems, packaged rooftop units, ERVs, dedicated outdoor air systems, and advanced digital controls. We design for serviceability—filter access, coil cleanability, and component standardization—while leveraging AC PRO’s distribution network for dependable parts and consumables.

Outcomes That Matter

We focus on measurable improvements: stable temperatures, better IAQ, quieter classrooms, and predictable operating costs. Our documentation packages simplify maintenance, while our monitoring and tune‑ups help sustain performance across seasons. With large and complex project experience, we tackle tough constraints—space limits, aging infrastructure, and tight summer windows—with practical engineering solutions.

Local Expertise, Broad Service Area

Based in Southern California, we serve Long Beach and the surrounding region: Los Angeles County and nearby areas including Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Whether you need a campus‑wide plan or a targeted upgrade, #1 AC Guys brings the resources and engineering depth to deliver.
