• Rooftop package units. Self-contained cooling and heating on the roof, ducted into the space below. Common on restaurants and retail.
• Commercial split systems. Outdoor condenser plus indoor air handler, similar to residential but larger. Common in offices and studios.
• PTAC fleets. Individual through-the-wall units in hotel rooms and apartment buildings.
• Ductless multi-zone. Increasingly common for office fit-outs and small retail; quiet and efficient.
• Water-source heat pumps. Larger commercial buildings with a central water loop.

Commercial AC runs longer hours, handles higher internal loads (people, equipment, kitchens) and often depends on roof access that residential AC does not. Failures happen at worse times: mid-service on a restaurant floor, mid-shift in an office, or in the middle of a hotel check-in. Response speed and off-hours scheduling matter more than absolute lowest price.

A restaurant that loses air on a July Friday evening loses covers and reputation. A rooftop capacitor swap that costs $450 at 09:00 costs the restaurant tens of thousands in lost dinner service if it is only fixed on Saturday. Commercial service is priced against that reality: off-hours scheduling, stocked parts trucks and per-site unit history are the point of the relationship.

• Written scope on every call, suitable for accounts-payable approval.
• Per-unit equipment history so recurring faults are treated as a pattern.
• Off-hours scheduling by default rather than as an exception.
• Insurance certificates ready before the first visit.
• Direct contact with the technician who knows your equipment, not a rotating call centre.
