Engineering Pedigree You Can Trust

#1 AC Guys is a 4th‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering. Our specialists are factory-trained by Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, and Haier, bringing deep platform knowledge to design, installation, and service. We thrive on large, intricate scopes—from historic structures to multi-tenant and mixed-use buildings—where precise planning and coordination matter most.

AC PRO Supply Advantage

To keep your project moving, we source equipment and genuine parts through AC PRO. This strengthens availability, shortens lead times, and provides reliable logistics for replacements and upgrades—key advantages when schedules are tight or when an unexpected component is needed during construction or service.

Compliance, Permits, and Coastal Durability

Our team navigates Santa Monica permitting and California energy codes to streamline approvals. We plan for Title 24 compliance, CALGreen requirements, seismic anchorage, sound considerations, and ventilation standards in alignment with ASHRAE guidance. For coastal sites, we specify corrosion-resistant materials, protective coatings, and maintenance protocols designed to extend equipment life in salt‑air environments.
