Reliable Commercial HVAC Services for Lasting Comfort
Since 1981, Lunsford Air Conditioning & Heating has delivered dependable commercial HVAC services built for businesses that can’t afford downtime. Our NATE-certified technicians handle everything from precise installation and load calculations to fast repair and preventive maintenance, keeping your equipment running efficiently year-round. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, we help lower utility costs and protect your investment with licensed, insured service you can count on.
Commercial Heating and Air Conditioning System Installation
The heating and cooling requirements for commercial buildings are far more complex than residential structures. Commercial equipment is larger, and loads are substantially impacted by machine-generated heat and frequently changing occupancy rates. Our expert installation technicians determine replacement and new systems to maximize comfort and efficiency. Intricate load calculations ensure that the new installation will precisely match your building’s unique energy consumption profile.
While system engineering is important, the equipment must be installed correctly, so its performance matches the design specifications. The duct system should always be inspected and sealed to eliminate the potential for leaks caused by breaches and loose connections. A qualified HVAC contractor knows the importance of working with other trades to avoid costly delays.
Commercial HVAC Repair
Time is critical whenever you experience a commercial heating and cooling equipment malfunction. For many businesses, a reliable commercial HVAC system is a vital part of their core processes. Sales, employee productivity and customer satisfaction may suffer when your commercial HVAC system is down. That’s why it’s essential to partner with a contractor who is experienced, accessible and cost competitive like the professionals at Lunsford Air Conditioning & Heating.
We understand the importance of repairing your system quickly and accurately, so we only dispatch NATE-certified technicians equipped with advanced diagnostic tools. We can repair any brand of equipment, and emergency service is always available for unexpected situations.
Commercial Preventive Maintenance
As an owner, manager or administrator, you recognize the critical role your heating and cooling equipment plays in the success of your company. To avoid a catastrophic breakdown, it’s important to purchase a commercial maintenance agreement. Our service technicians will visit your business on a set schedule during off-hours to perform a wide array of services designed to lower utility costs, improve comfort and locate minor issues before they become major problems.
It’s important to remember that a 15-ton 3-phase package unit is considerably more complex than a 3.5-ton residential system, so look for an HVAC contractor who has experience working on commercial equipment, including economizers and commercial controls.

Common Commercial HVAC Problems We Fix
Commercial equipment works harder than residential systems, running longer hours under heavier loads — which means problems show up differently, and often faster. Our comfort specialists are equipped to diagnose and repair any brand of commercial HVAC system, minimizing downtime for your business.
- Uneven temperatures across different zones, often caused by uncalibrated economizers or commercial controls
- Rising utility costs without a clear cause, usually pointing to duct leaks or an aging system working harder than it should
- Frequent short cycling, which strains components and shortens equipment lifespan
- Unexpected shutdowns during peak hours, when your business can least afford it
- Airflow issues tied to duct system leaks or blocked returns
Dependable Indoor Air Quality for Commercial Spaces
Air quality isn’t just a comfort issue in a commercial building — it affects employee productivity, customer perception, and even compliance in some industries. A well-maintained commercial HVAC system does more than heat and cool; it filters, circulates, and manages humidity throughout your space.
- Improved employee wellness with fewer airborne irritants circulating through the building
- Better customer experience, especially in retail, hospitality, or healthcare settings
- Reduced odor and humidity issues in kitchens, restrooms, and high-traffic areas
- Consistent air quality across multiple zones or floors
Our team can evaluate your current system and recommend solutions that integrate directly with your existing setup, no unnecessary equipment required.
Commercial HVAC Maintenance Plans
A commercial maintenance agreement isn’t just about preventing system breakdowns—it’s about protecting your bottom line. Our service technicians visit your business on a set schedule, often during off-hours, to catch small issues before they become expensive emergencies.
- Scheduled inspections designed around your business hours, not ours
- Lower utility costs through consistent system efficiency checks
- Priority response for maintenance plan members if an issue does arise
- Extended equipment lifespan through proactive, preventive care
- Specialized expertise for complex commercial equipment, including economizers and 3-phase package units
FAQs About Our Commercial HVAC Service:
How long does a commercial HVAC system typically last?
With proper repair and maintenance, a commercial system can last 15-20 years. Routine maintenance and timely repairs help avoid premature replacement and keep energy bills under control.
How often should a commercial air conditioning system be inspected?
We recommend routine maintenance for your air conditioning system at least twice a year. This routine maintenance improves energy efficiency and helps catch small issues before they turn into costly air conditioning repairs.
How do I choose the right HVAC contractor for my business?
Look for a licensed, insured contractor with experience in commercial equipment specifically, not just residential systems. NATE certification, factory authorization from major brands, and a track record with businesses similar to yours are strong indicators of reliability.
How often should commercial HVAC maintenance be scheduled?
Most commercial systems benefit from HVAC maintenance twice a year, ideally before peak cooling and heating seasons, though larger or older systems may need more frequent visits.
