HVAC Contractor

HVAC contractors design, install, and service heating, ventilation, and AC — packaged rooftop units, splits, makeup air for kitchen hoods, exhaust fans, and the controls that tie the system together. Every restaurant, bar, and hotel needs an HVAC vendor for buildout and ongoing service. The federal AIM Act ER&R rule effective January 1, 2026 dropped the HFC leak-detection threshold from 50 lb to 15 lb of charge — every refrigerant-using system over the new threshold needs a leak-monitoring program; mid-tier 13-14 SEER2 / 11-12 EER packaged RTUs run $4,000-$8,000 per unit installed in 2026.
