Level One HVAC designs, installs, and repairs commercial air conditioning systems for facilities across Michigan. Whether you’re replacing an aging rooftop unit, installing a new system for a building expansion, or need emergency repair on a system that’s down right now, our team delivers solutions built for your facility’s specific demands — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Air Conditioning Installation
Commercial AC installation involves more than swapping out equipment — it requires evaluating your building’s load requirements, ductwork, electrical capacity, and occupancy needs before recommending a system. Our process typically includes:
- Load calculation and system design — sizing the right equipment for your facility’s square footage, occupancy, and usage patterns, so you’re not stuck with a system that’s undersized (constant strain) or oversized (short-cycling and wasted energy).
- Equipment selection — matching rooftop units (RTUs), split systems, packaged units, or chillers to your building type and budget, with attention to long-term energy efficiency.
- Code compliance and permitting — ensuring the installation meets local Michigan building codes and any industry-specific requirements (healthcare, food service, education, etc.).
- Installation and startup — coordinated scheduling to minimize disruption to your operations, followed by full system testing before we consider the job complete.
- Building automation system (BAS) integration — connecting new equipment to existing controls where applicable, so your new system works with the rest of your building rather than around it.
When Should You Replace Instead of Repair?
A commercial AC system is generally a better candidate for replacement than repair when it’s more than 12–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, uses a phased-out refrigerant, or when the cost of repair approaches 30–50% of a new system’s cost. Our technicians will always give you a straightforward comparison of repair cost versus replacement value — including available rebates or incentives — so the decision is based on your numbers, not a sales pitch.
Air Conditioning Repair
Level One HVAC repairs the full range of issues that take commercial cooling systems offline, including:
- Refrigerant leaks and low charge
- Compressor failures
- Electrical and control component failures (contactors, capacitors, sensors)
- Airflow restrictions from dirty coils, filters, or blocked ductwork
- Condensate drainage issues and water damage risk
- BAS/controls faults preventing proper system operation
How Fast Can You Respond to a Commercial AC Emergency?
Because commercial downtime has a direct operational and financial cost, Level One HVAC prioritizes rapid response for facilities experiencing a cooling failure. Our technicians arrive equipped to diagnose most rooftop units, split systems, packaged units, and chillers on the first visit, with a clear explanation of findings and repair options before work begins.
