Commercial HVAC Installation in Sacramento
New commercial HVAC system? From rooftop unit replacement to VRF installation and duct design, PRO MAX delivers licensed, permitted commercial HVAC installation across Sacramento — on time, on budget, with a 180-day labor warranty.
Overview
When your commercial HVAC system reaches end of life — or when your building needs new climate control — the installation decision affects your business operations, energy costs, and tenant comfort for the next 15 to 20 years. In Sacramento's climate, where commercial air conditioning runs hard from May through October, proper system selection, sizing, and installation are critical to long-term performance.
PRO MAX HVAC & Appliance Repair provides commercial HVAC installation throughout Sacramento, Carmichael, Roseville, Citrus Heights, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove, and surrounding communities. We install rooftop units, commercial heat pumps, VRF/VRV systems, mini-split configurations, and complete duct systems — all properly sized, permitted, and backed by our 180-day labor warranty plus manufacturer equipment warranties.
What We Install
We install the full range of commercial HVAC equipment for Sacramento's commercial building stock:
- New rooftop unit (RTU) install — Complete rooftop package unit installation including crane coordination, curb adapters, electrical, and gas connections for new construction and tenant improvements.
- Rooftop unit replacement — Remove existing RTU by crane, set new unit, and commission. We handle the full scope including permit, inspection, and startup.
- Commercial heat pump install — Air-source heat pump systems for commercial buildings seeking efficient heating and cooling from a single system. Excellent fit for Sacramento's moderate winters.
- VRF/VRV systems — Variable refrigerant flow systems for multi-zone commercial buildings. Ideal for offices, hotels, and mixed-use buildings where individual zone control is required.
- Commercial mini-split install — Ductless and ducted mini-split configurations for server rooms, building additions, supplemental zones, and spaces where ductwork is impractical.
- Duct design & install — Complete commercial duct systems for new construction, tenant improvements, and buildings requiring ductwork replacement or reconfiguration.

- Property owners & landlords — Building value and tenant retention depend on reliable HVAC. We install systems that perform and last.
- Facility managers — We coordinate installations to minimize disruption to building operations and provide detailed documentation.
- Restaurants & food service — Kitchen ventilation integration, make-up air requirements, and dining room comfort all factor into commercial HVAC design.
- Offices & professional buildings — Proper zoning and sizing ensure consistent comfort across conference rooms, open plans, and private offices.

Commercial HVAC Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial HVAC installation costs vary significantly based on building size, system type, tonnage requirements, and ductwork condition. A rooftop unit replacement on a small retail space is different from a multi-zone VRF installation in an office building. We provide free on-site assessments and detailed proposals so you have accurate pricing before committing. Call (916) 234-5925 to schedule your assessment.
A standard rooftop unit replacement — removing the old unit by crane, setting the new one, and making all connections — typically takes one to two days depending on tonnage and complexity. New installations requiring ductwork or electrical modifications may take longer. We assess the project during our site visit and provide an accurate timeline before work begins.
Yes. Mechanical permits are required for commercial HVAC installation throughout Sacramento County and surrounding jurisdictions. We handle all permit applications, coordinate required inspections, and ensure the installation meets current code. Any contractor who skips permitting is exposing your business to significant liability and potential insurance complications.
Yes. We perform commercial load calculations and system design for new installations, replacements, and building retrofits. Proper sizing accounts for building square footage, ceiling height, occupancy type, window area, insulation, and Sacramento's design temperature of approximately 105°F. Oversizing and undersizing are both common mistakes that affect comfort, efficiency, and equipment life.
We install systems across the efficiency spectrum — from standard-efficiency units that meet current minimum requirements to high-efficiency variable-speed and inverter-driven systems. The right efficiency level depends on your operating hours, utility rates, available rebates, and budget. We present options with projected energy costs so you can make an informed decision.
We can discuss financing options for qualified commercial projects. Commercial HVAC installation is a significant capital expense, and we understand that cash flow matters to business owners. Contact us during your assessment to discuss available options for your project.
