Commercial HVAC for Hospitality and Restaurants

We couldn’t do without our HVAC systems in many commercial buildings that we use each day. They make us comfortable and give us the indoor air quality we need to stay safe and healthy. 

Restaurant HVAC systems are especially important, and not just to the visiting guests in your dining room either. If you own or work in a restaurant, you know the need for a good quality air conditioner, especially in the kitchen atmosphere. With all the cooking going on, you wouldn’t be able to do what you do without a cooling system on your side. 

Restaurant owners have more than just the job of feeding people these days. Restaurants are used as a place for business to occur, a meeting place for friends, a space for a celebration, or an area to relax. Think about where you and your family typically go when they want a care-free night together – your favorite restaurant, right?

 An HVAC system can make or break the customer’s experience at your restaurant. If diners can smell the fish cooked the previous night during breakfast the next morning, they will undoubtedly think twice about coming back. Proper ventilation and filtration are vital to the best air quality you can get. This is just one example of the need for a great HVAC system in your restaurant.

Let’s dive a little deeper into commercial restaurant HVAC systems and find out more about why they are so crucial for your business.

A restaurant HVAC system provides commercial heating, air conditioning, and ventilation for restaurants. We regularly think about heating and air conditioning, but ventilation isn’t something many of us consider when we think of HVAC systems. It plays a fundamental role in the system, as it makes sure that the right amount of circulation is taking place. Ventilation and air filtration have become increasingly important during the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to be a focus of cleanliness in restaurants in the future. Don’t be caught with a system that doesn’t do the job. Make sure you are one of the restaurants offering exceptional services, even when it comes to your air quality.

You’re probably very familiar with the different components of your HVAC system at home. So, what’s the difference between that and a restaurant HVAC? The best way to think about it is to think of a restaurant HVAC system as the same as your home but on a much larger scale. Commercial HVAC systems are so much more significant because they serve much larger areas.  They are working overtime with the larger space, more people, and doors opening and closing constantly. It is vital to have a high-efficiency HVAC system to reduce costs as well as reduce the energy required to run it.

One of the most important parts of a restaurant HVAC system is a make-up air unit that replaces the exhaust air from hood fans in the kitchen with fresh, temperature-controlled air from outside. It literally “makes up” the air that is taken or removed from the kitchen hood fan. Many of us have seen the importance of this kind of component in our HVAC system during the pandemic as well. As new, clean air is added to our restaurant kitchens, safety standards are achieved. Consequently, we know our customers are safe from unwanted germs during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the future.

When designing your HVAC system for your restaurant or replacing it, you don’t want to forget even one of the critical components we’ve discussed. That is why you want to hire a professional with restaurant HVAC installation and service experience. AirLogix will make sure the job is done right and will continue to make sure the maintenance is continued how it should be for years to come.

Did you know that the professionals at AirLogix can take care of your walk-in coolers and freezers as well as your restaurant HVAC system? Reducing the amount of repair or maintenance crews can be a bonus for any restaurant, especially when it’s with a company you know and trust. 

AirLogix offers installation of your new, already assembled coolers and freezers. Or, if you choose, we are equipped to build the perfect customized walk-in cooler and freezer for your restaurant. Whatever your budget or needs require, we have the skills necessary to get the job done right. 

Walk-in coolers and freezers are a significant investment, and we know how important it is to keep them well maintained and working perfectly. If it’s not, the risk of food being spoiled or your customers getting sick can be detrimental to your business’s future. Therefore, regular preventative maintenance is crucial and not something you want to forget.

When looking to buy a new commercial refrigerator, there are many different kinds from which to choose. Some can be walk-in; others are just large commercial refrigerators. There are even refrigerators for displaying your product to customers. Commercial refrigerator installation, repair, and maintenance are other services that AirLogix offers. With so much to consider, having an experienced and seasoned HVAC and refrigeration maintenance company to lean on makes the entire experience much less stressful, leaving you to purchase your new fridge with confidence. 

Keeping your refrigerated food safe and fresh is top of your priority list as well as ours. If you notice that your fridge has stopped running or cooling, is making strange sounds, has liquid in the fresh food areas, or is leaking water, don’t wait to get it repaired. Even if you’re only suspecting something could be going on, the sooner you get it checked, the sooner you will have the peace of mind to run your restaurant properly. 

We specialize in satisfied customers that are comfortable relying entirely on the AirLogix team. With our quick response time, our goal is to save you time and money. It is always wise to find a trusted refrigerator repairman when you own a restaurant. Make sure we are part of your crew!

Ice machines are one of the modern-day conveniences that we can’t do without, especially in our restaurants! Can you imagine offering your customers a drink with no ice? They would wonder what was going on for sure! 

If your ice machine is struggling or you’re ready to purchase a new, more energy-efficient one, we can help. While providing service to your restaurant HVAC system and refrigeration appliances, ice machines can be added to our list of skills. Not only do we help you lower energy costs with stellar maintenance, but we also lower the energy you have to sacrifice to find and hire a trusted ice machine repair company. Let AirLogix take care of it all.

While the benefits of proper maintenance are enormous, having a maintenance agreement with a skilled HVAC company is smart and will save you time and money in the long run and possibly even sooner than later. Maybe more than you can imagine! 

You may be used to just calling a commercial HVAC system technician for a tune-up here and there, but the best way to take care of your system is to sign a maintenance agreement for long-term service. This way, you and your restaurant can stay on top of its game without you having to even think about it.

Below is a list of some of the benefits we have found our customers rave about because of the maintenance agreements AirLogix provides.
