Retail Store HVAC Installation in Pasadena

Purpose-built HVAC for Pasadena Retail

Every store is different. We start with precise load calculations and a walk-through to map heat gains from glazing, lighting, refrigeration, and occupancy. Then we design zoning for sales floors, fitting rooms, checkout areas, offices, and stockrooms—balancing temperature, humidity, and airflow so merchandise is protected and customers feel great.

Systems We Install and Integrate

VRF/VRV multi-zone systems: Ideal for boutiques and multi-tenant retail needing tight temperature control, simultaneous heating/cooling, and low energy use.
High-efficiency rooftop packaged units (RTUs): Trusted for larger retail and big-box spaces; we handle curb adapters, crane lifts, and change-outs with minimal disruption.
Ductless mini-splits: Perfect for back offices, fitting rooms, kiosks, and cash wraps where quiet comfort matters.
Dedicated Outside Air/ERV: Brings in fresh air, controls humidity, and helps meet Title 24 ventilation requirements.
Smart controls and BMS: From networked thermostats to centralized control with scheduling, demand response, and remote monitoring.

Quiet, Clean, and Brand-Aligned

We specify diffusers, fan speeds, and acoustical strategies to keep the shopping experience quiet. Concealed ducted options, linear diffusers, and neat lineset routing preserve your interiors and visual merchandising. Dust control, floor protection, and spotless cleanup come standard on every #1 AC Guys job.

Code, Permits, and Title 24—Handled

Our team manages City of Pasadena plan check, mechanical permits, and crane logistics when needed. We design to California Title 24 and CALGreen, prepare compliance documentation, and coordinate required acceptance testing and commissioning. Fire/life safety, economizers, controls sequences, and ventilation rates are engineered into the package so inspections go smoothly the first time.

Healthier Indoor Air for Staff and Shoppers

Our mission is healthy air for healthy lives—even in busy retail. Options include MERV-13 filtration, dedicated outside air, UV-C coil treatment, carbon filtration for wildfire smoke, and CO2 monitoring to maintain fresh, invigorating air. We balance fresh air and energy use to protect comfort and your utility budget.

Installation Around Your Hours

Retail can’t stop. We schedule after-hours and phased change-outs, set up safe work zones, and coordinate deliveries and crane lifts to reduce downtime. For replacements, we can pre-fabricate curb adapters and duct transitions to compress on-site time.

Factory-Trained, Fourth-Generation Engineers

Family-owned for four generations with 80+ years of engineering expertise, our team is factory-trained by Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, and Haier. That means correct sizing, proper refrigerant practices, meticulous commissioning, and systems that run efficiently for years.

Commissioning and Turnover

We test and balance airflow, verify economizer operation, and program controls for schedules, setback, and demand response. Your team receives hands-on training, O&M manuals, and warranty documentation—plus a simple maintenance plan to keep performance high and costs low.

Service, Maintenance, and Support

Our commercial maintenance plans include seasonal tune-ups, filter and belt service, coil cleaning, and proactive checks that catch issues early. Priority scheduling helps keep your store comfortable during heat waves and holidays.

Local Expertise, Wider Coverage

We proudly serve Pasadena and all of Los Angeles County, and we also cover nearby markets including Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Whether it’s a single boutique or a multi-location rollout, we deliver consistent standards and documentation across every site.
