Commercial HVAC in Austin, TX
Commercial HVAC is different from residential. At Efficient, we understand the difference, and we have extensive experience with commercial properties in Austin stemming over 50 years. Some commercial properties are similar to residential in equipment and technology; however, most are not. The needs of our commercial customers are vastly different from those of homeowners. A one-size-fits-all approach does not work.
We customize maintenance, repair and replacement programs to fit your property, your budget and your team's in-house capabilities — whether you manage a traditional office, a medical facility, a tech campus or a food service operation.
Some of our commercial customers leave all of this to us. Others prefer to handle basic maintenance themselves and call us when specific expertise is needed. Either way, any plan we develop is customized for the property and the owner.
Commercial HVAC Maintenance
Commercial properties vary widely in their maintenance needs. An office, for example, will need far less maintenance than a manufacturing facility, given equal types of equipment. We routinely handle maintenance for offices, food service establishments, schools, medical clinics, dental clinics, auto dealers, event venues, veterinary practices, manufacturers, retailers and others.
We service commercial properties across Austin — from the office corridors around the Domain and North Lamar to medical and dental clinics in Round Rock and Cedar Park. We have access to a wide range of filters and air quality devices, or we can simply access the ones you furnish. We will develop a plan with your input, including scope of work, frequency, materials and other factors.
Commercial maintenance plans:
- Extend the lifespan of your equipment
- Decrease potential downtime
- Save you and your employees money with a 10% discount on AC repairs that extends to electrical and plumbing
Commercial HVAC Repair
Efficient’s staff at all levels have extensive experience with commercial construction and remodeling projects. With over 50 years and several thousand projects in the greater Austin area, we know how Central Texas summers put rooftop units under exceptional strain, and we have experience with all commercial air conditioner brands and technologies to handle it. That said, we are always eager to learn the newest products in the market.
We have access to the right parts from multiple sources to get you back up and running. While we favor original equipment parts (OEM), we have found some third-party offerings to be better than original, and we will use those as well. We avoid low quality, low lifespan parts in all repairs.
We install, maintain and repair all major commercial HVAC brands and have specialists experienced in nearly all commercial technologies. These include:
- Conventional split systems
- Roof top units (RTUs)
- Variable refrigerant systems (VRF/VRV)
- Geothermal
- Evaporative
- Air purification
- Chilled water
- Boilers
- Cooling towers
- Refrigeration and cooking systems
- Vehicle exhaust removal
- Many industrial specialties and technologies
Commercial HVAC Installations
We install new commercial HVAC equipment throughout each year, even each day, whether it is for new construction, remodeling or replacement. We consistently look for the best value solution that solidly meets your needs and timeframe. From new construction along the 183 Tech Corridor to HVAC replacements in established South Austin retail centers, we help you select the best equipment type, brand and size for your application while considering longer term maintenance cost and convenience.
We frequently will walk your property to ensure we all understand your best path forward. Notable is our in-house fabrication for metal duct systems, ensuring we can handle the whole solution — not just the equipment — on your time schedule.
Our time and experience is what we contribute to ensure we have the right solution before any money is spent.
From Our Commercial HVAC Team in the Field
A facility in West Austin had been a long-time Efficient customer, but when new management took over, they invited competing contractors to bid on an upcoming HVAC project.
The other contractors didn't know the equipment or the building's older control systems. They proposed units that weren't compatible with the existing infrastructure and, in some cases, couldn't physically fit due to structural limitations.
After we walked them through the reasoning behind our recommendations — why those systems wouldn't work and what would — the new management agreed that Efficient was the only contractor that had taken the time to truly understand their buildings.
Commercial HVAC FAQs
Most commercial properties benefit from quarterly inspections at minimum, though the right frequency depends on your equipment type, usage and industry. A food service kitchen, for example, needs more frequent attention than a standard office. We'll assess your property and build a maintenance schedule around your actual needs — not a one-size-fits-all plan.
We service all major commercial HVAC brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Daikin, York, Rheem, Goodman and others. We stock OEM parts from multiple suppliers and, where third-party parts outperform originals, we'll use those instead — we never compromise on part quality to cut costs.
