Commercial High-Rise HVAC Systems in Ontario, CA

High-rise HVAC is more than equipment selection. It is airflow physics, structural coordination, vertical distribution, controls logic, and meticulous commissioning. In Ontario, CA, where business districts and mixed-use developments are growing around the airport and logistics corridors, #1 AC Guys engineers systems that deliver dependable comfort floor after floor while meeting California energy codes and owner objectives.

Engineering-first outcomes

Our process starts with data: load calculations, diversity factors, pressure and pump head analysis, and controls sequences tailored to the building program. We align designs with California Title 24 and industry best practices to minimize lifecycle cost without sacrificing resilience or indoor air quality. We coordinate with architecture and MEP trades early to protect ceiling heights and optimize shaft and riser layouts.
From there, we translate design into reality with safe crane logistics, just-in-time deliveries, and clean-site practices that reduce tenant disruption.

• VRF and VRV systems with optimized zoning, condensate strategies, and refrigerant management plans
• Water- and air-cooled chiller plants, heat-recovery chillers, and boiler plants sized for part-load efficiency
• Dedicated outdoor air systems with energy recovery and demand-controlled ventilation
• High-performance air handlers with quiet fan arrays and smart filtration
• Stairwell pressurization and smoke control integration with life-safety strategies
• Building automation systems that unify HVAC, ventilation, and IAQ sensing
• Retrofit phasing plans to keep occupants comfortable during construction

Lifecycle services that reduce risk

We are your partner from concept to steady-state operation. Our field engineers and installers execute with precision, then validate performance so owners can trust the numbers.

• Advisory and budgeting for new construction, TI, and retrofit projects
• Detailed submittals, BIM coordination, and clash detection
• Permitting support and documentation aligned with local jurisdictions
• Controls programming and graphics that are intuitive for property teams
• Test, adjust, and balance with verifiable airflow and hydronic reports
• Functional performance testing and commissioning plans tied to design intent
• Planned maintenance, analytics, and training for on-site staff

Healthy indoor air is our mission

Healthy air supports healthier lives and more productive workplaces. Our designs prioritize ventilation quality, filtration, and moisture management while controlling operating costs. We help owners specify the right filtration levels and outdoor air strategies for their occupancy type and climate conditions.

• Right-sized ventilation with energy recovery for comfort and efficiency
• Filtration strategies including high-MERV options matched to fan capability
• Humidity control and coil selection to limit microbial growth
• IAQ monitoring points integrated into the BAS for proactive alerts

Factory-trained and fourth-generation expertise

Our specialists are factory-trained by Fujitsu in Japan, Mitsubishi Elektrik in Thailand, Midea in China, Gree in China, and Hier in China. That manufacturer training, combined with our fourth-generation lineage and 80-plus years of engineering experience, means we bring practical solutions to complex constraints and deliver systems that start up clean and operate as promised.

Built for Ontario and Greater Los Angeles

We understand the demands of Ontario office towers, hospitality, and mixed-use developments near the airport and along major corridors. Our team serves Ontario, CA and surrounding communities across Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. We bring regional code knowledge, vendor relationships, and logistics experience that keep projects moving.

What you can expect

Clear scopes, transparent schedules, and accountable commissioning. In occupied high-rises, we phase work to limit downtime and coordinate closely with building management. Our controls team leaves your staff with readable sequences, trend logs, and training so the system performs day after day.

• Design-build or design-assist delivery models
• Energy and comfort tuning after occupancy
• Documentation that supports compliance and warranties
• Service agreements aligned to mission-critical schedules
