Commercial HVAC Control Systems in Santa Monica

Santa Monica’s marine layer, salt air, and varied occupancy patterns demand commercial control systems engineered for reliability and health. #1 AC Guys delivers AC PRO‑compatible solutions that unify equipment, sensors, and automation into a single, intelligent platform—designed to reduce energy waste, stabilize comfort, and improve indoor air quality for staff and guests.

What we do

• Design‑build and retrofit of commercial HVAC control systems
• AC PRO‑compatible components and controls integration
• BMS connectivity using open protocols (BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU/TCP)
• VRF/mini‑split gateways, rooftop unit controllers, and economizer optimization
• VAV/VVT control, static pressure management, and fan law tuning
• Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) and make‑up air control
• Boiler/chiller plant sequencing and heat pump electrification controls
• Demand‑control ventilation with CO2, PM2.5, VOC, temperature, and humidity monitoring
• Migration from legacy or proprietary controls to open, serviceable architectures

We specify corrosion‑resistant hardware and weather‑rated enclosures where needed for coastal environments, and we document sequences of operation to meet code and facility standards.

AC PRO parts and integration synergy

We routinely source and integrate AC PRO‑supported components to streamline procurement, accelerate repairs, and maintain parts consistency across portfolios. Whether your standard is AC PRO sensors, actuators, or control accessories, our team builds them into a cohesive, maintainable system—without locking you into closed platforms.

Engineering pedigree and factory training

As a fourth‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering, we bring deep problem‑solving to every project. Our technicians are factory‑trained by Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China), ensuring proper integration, verified performance, and long‑term reliability on complex commercial installations.

Commissioning, analytics, and FDD

Every control project is commissioned with a methodical process to verify performance under real loads.

• Pre‑functional checklists and point‑to‑point verification
• Trend logs for critical points and energy key performance indicators
• Custom dashboards, alarms, and remote access policies
• Fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) to catch issues early

The result is a system that’s transparent, tunable, and built for continuous optimization—not just a one‑time install.

Maintenance and 24/7 support

Controls are only as good as their upkeep. We provide scheduled maintenance and responsive emergency support to keep facilities online.

• Firmware updates, backups, and configuration change control
• Sensor calibration and airflow verification
• Sequence tuning as usage patterns change
• Priority response and stocked AC PRO‑supported parts

Need after‑hours help? Our dispatch operates 24/7 across Santa Monica and greater Los Angeles County.

Compliance, documentation, and incentives

We engineer with compliance in mind: California Title 24, CALGreen, and relevant ASHRAE guidance (such as 62.1 for ventilation and 90.1 for energy). Our submittals include drawings, point lists, and sequences of operation to help your team and inspectors verify performance. When applicable, we can support documentation for local utility incentives and rebates to offset upgrade costs.

Industries we serve

• Office, creative space, and media production
• Retail, restaurants, and hospitality
• Healthcare clinics and labs (non‑sterile areas)
• Schools, fitness centers, and places of assembly
• Warehouses, light industrial, and mixed‑use
• Multifamily common areas and amenities

Our mission is healthy indoor air for a healthy life. For commercial spaces, that means smart ventilation, filtration, and controls that respond to real occupancy and air quality—without sacrificing efficiency.

Our process

• Discovery and site survey: goals, constraints, and data gathering
• Engineering design: submittals, controls drawings, and sequences of operation
• Installation: clean wiring, labeling, and precise sensor placement
• Commissioning: functional testing, trending, and acceptance reporting
• Training: operations handover and staff education
• Support: proactive maintenance plans and on‑demand service

We collaborate with owners, GCs, and facility teams to keep schedules tight and communication clear, minimizing downtime during cutovers.

Technology and cybersecurity

We deploy open, supportable architectures with role‑based access and network best practices. From BACnet segmentation to secure remote access, we help your IT and operations teams keep systems reliable and protected.

Where we work

Based in Los Angeles, we serve Santa Monica and the broader region: Los Angeles County, plus nearby Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Whether you manage a single facility or a multi‑site portfolio, we scale designs and standards to fit.
