Mechanical Contractor in Fort Worth: Commercial HVAC & Mechanical Contractor Services

Your rooftop unit runs all day, and the back office still feels warm. Your walk-in won’t hold temperature. Your boiler quit on the first cold morning of the year. A mechanical contractor in Fort Worth gets all of these calls, and they don’t all have the same fix. At Xtreme Air Services – Fort Worth, we handle commercial HVAC, refrigeration, boilers, ductwork, and the controls that tie them together.

Most search results skip one point. Many Fort Worth buildings now carry a different load than they were built for. A restaurant moves into an old retail space. A warehouse becomes offices. A kitchen adds two more fryers. The original equipment wasn’t sized for any of that. So a “broken” system is sometimes just an outgrown one, and the right service depends on which problem you have.

We’re a fully licensed and insured HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractor under HVAC License #TACLA29023C. Home comfort questions are covered on our HVAC Contractor pages. This page is about commercial mechanical work. Not sure which service fits? Call and talk to a real person today.

Commercial HVAC Installation Supports New Builds and Renovations

Downtown and the Near Southside are full of buildings that have outlived their first tenant, and often their second or third. The equipment on the roof usually hasn’t changed with them. Commercial HVAC installation gets you a system that fits the building you have today, not the one somebody drew up decades ago.

We install new rooftop units, split systems, and the ductwork that connects them. That includes new construction, gut remodels, and capacity upgrades after you’ve added people, equipment, or square footage. Before anything gets ordered, we look at how the space is really used now: how many people work there, what equipment gives off heat, and how much sun hits the roof and walls.

That load check is the step people want to rush, and it’s the one that matters most. An oversized system short-cycles. That means it turns on and off so fast it never pulls the moisture out of the air. An undersized system runs nonstop through a Fort Worth July and still falls behind.

If you’re a property owner or a general contractor planning a project, bring a mechanical contractor in early. It saves headaches with layout, roof curbs, and electrical hookups later. See how our commercial HVAC installation process works.

Commercial HVAC Repair & Maintenance Keeps Systems Running

Is your system down right now, or just not keeping up? Commercial HVAC repair & maintenance covers both. It’s the service you call when something’s wrong today, plus the follow-up visits that keep a repaired unit from failing the same way next month.

Our licensed, background-checked technicians can get to you the same day. They find the cause, explain it in plain English, and fix it. These are some of the most common reasons businesses call:

• Warm air coming from the vents
• One side of the building is comfortable while the other side bakes
• A unit that won’t start or keeps tripping off
• Grinding, banging, or squealing from the roof
• Energy bills that jumped even though nothing changed in the space

Some of these come from worn parts. Others go back to the load problem: the system works fine but was never big enough for how you use the space now. A good technician tells you which one you’re dealing with and doesn’t push a new unit when a repair will do.

This isn’t the same as Commercial Preventive Maintenance, which comes later on this page. Commercial HVAC repair & maintenance responds to a problem that’s already happening. Preventive maintenance is a calendar-based program built to stop problems before they start. Read more about commercial HVAC repair & maintenance.

Commercial Refrigeration Protects Food and Product Inventory

It’s 6 a.m. and the walk-in reads 48 degrees. Every hour that number stays high, you’re closer to throwing out product and losing a day of sales. Commercial refrigeration service is about getting that box back down to temperature and keeping your business open.

We work on refrigeration for restaurants, grocery stores, and cold storage spaces. That includes walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, ice machines, and the refrigerant lines that run between them. Fort Worth’s food scene, from the Stockyards to newer spots across town, puts a lot of refrigeration to work in kitchens that weren’t built for it.

A struggling cooler isn’t always broken. Sometimes the condenser sits next to a hot fryer line it was never meant to share space with. Sometimes the door opens far more during a lunch rush than the box was designed to handle. We check for those causes before we start replacing parts.

This section covers service on equipment you already own, including repairs, tune-ups, and troubleshooting. New equipment projects fall under commercial refrigeration installation, which has its own page. If your inventory is on the line, we’ll treat the call like the business emergency it is. Learn more about commercial refrigeration service.

Rooftop Unit (RTU) Service Handles the Most Common Commercial Equipment

A rooftop unit, or RTU, is a full heating and cooling system packed into one metal cabinet that sits on your roof. It’s the most common commercial HVAC setup in Texas. If your building has a flat roof, there’s a good chance an RTU is up there doing the work.

RTU service covers inspection, repair, and replacement. Life on a Fort Worth roof is rough. The unit sits in direct sun all summer and has to push heat out into air that’s hotter than the street below. Coils clog with dust and cottonwood fluff. Belts wear. Spring hail can flatten the thin metal fins on the coils, and every bent fin makes the compressor work harder.

Most RTU problems show up in June and July, when the heat load is at its peak. A spring inspection catches a lot of that before the rush.

When it’s time to swap an RTU, we don’t assume the new one should match the old size. If the space has changed, the unit probably should too. We also check that the roof curb, the frame the unit sits on, lines up with the new equipment. Get the details on rooftop unit (RTU) service.

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Meets Health and Fire Code Needs

Exhaust hood installation is about the hood itself. Commercial kitchen ventilation looks at the whole airflow picture in your kitchen: the air the hood pulls out, the fresh air that has to replace it, and how the two stay in balance.

That balance is what keeps smoke, grease, and heat moving out of the cooking area. It’s also what health and fire inspectors look at when you open, remodel, or get written up. Along Magnolia Avenue and the rest of the Near Southside, many restaurants operate in older buildings that were never planned for a full commercial kitchen. Those spaces often need the most ventilation work.

Make-up air is the part people forget, and in my opinion it’s often the real problem. Make-up air is the fresh air brought in to replace what the hood exhausts. Without enough of it, the kitchen starts fighting itself. You’ll notice doors that are hard to open, smoke rolling past the hood, a dining room that smells like the fryer, and a kitchen that never cools down.

We check how your hood, fans, and make-up air work together, then fix what’s out of balance. If you’re adding equipment to your cook line, call before it goes in, not after. See how we handle commercial kitchen ventilation.

Boiler Repair Responds to Heating System Failures

Fort Worth winters are mostly mild. When a hard cold front blows through, though, every boiler in town gets tested on the same morning, and the older ones in historic buildings tend to show their age first.

Boiler repair is the service you call when the heat is already out or something clearly isn’t right. Watch for these signs:

• No heat, or only part of the building is warm
• Banging or rumbling in the boiler or pipes
• Water leaking or pooling around the unit
• The boiler keeps locking out or won’t light
• The pressure gauge reads far higher or lower than normal

If you smell gas, get everyone out and call your gas utility first. Then call us.

Our technicians find the cause, explain it in plain English, and get your heat back on. Boiler repair fixes a failure that’s happening right now. That makes it different from boiler servicing, which is a tune-up visit, and boiler maintenance, which is an ongoing program. Boiler installation, boiler replacement, and boiler safety inspections each have their own page too. Learn more about boiler repair.

Commercial Preventive Maintenance Reduces Unexpected Breakdowns

Repair waits for the phone to ring. Commercial preventive maintenance doesn’t. It’s a calendar-based program with scheduled visits for your HVAC, refrigeration, and mechanical equipment. The goal is to catch small problems before they turn into a Saturday breakdown.

Commercial HVAC repair & maintenance, covered earlier, is about responding when something’s already wrong. Preventive maintenance is the plan that keeps those calls rare. A typical visit includes:

• Cleaning coils and changing filters
• Checking belts, motors, and electrical connections
• Testing refrigerant levels and looking for leaks
• Clearing condensate drains before they back up
• Writing down anything that’s wearing out so you can plan for it

That last item is the one owners tend to value most. Instead of a surprise in August, you get a heads-up in March. You can budget for the fix, schedule it around your business hours, and skip the scramble.

In Fort Worth, timing matters. We check cooling equipment in spring before the heat arrives and heating equipment in fall before the first cold front. Those visits are also a good time to spot equipment that’s struggling with a load it was never sized for. See what’s included in commercial preventive maintenance.

Commercial Ductwork Moves Air Through the Whole Building

Your new rooftop unit is running. The thermostat says 72. The conference room at the end of the hall is still stuffy. When that happens, the problem usually isn’t the equipment. It’s the ductwork.

Commercial ductwork is the network of metal channels that carries air from your HVAC equipment to every room and back again. If it’s too small, leaky, crushed, or badly laid out, even a perfect unit can’t keep you comfortable. Many older Fort Worth buildings still run on their original duct systems, sized for a different tenant and a lighter load. Put bigger or newer equipment on those old ducts and you get noise, weak airflow, and hot spots.

Ductwork is the most overlooked part of a commercial system. Nobody sees it, so nobody thinks about it until the comfort complaints pile up.

We inspect, repair, resize, and install commercial ductwork so air reaches the rooms that need it. This section covers the installed system in your building. Ductwork fabrication, which means building custom duct pieces in a shop, and sheet metal work each have their own page. Find out more about commercial ductwork.

One-Stop Commercial Service Covers HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Together

One-stop commercial service means one company, one phone number, and one team accountable for the whole job. Mechanical work rarely stays inside one trade. A new rooftop unit needs an electrical disconnect and a condensate drain. A commercial water heater may tie into your boiler or kitchen. A new walk-in needs power, refrigeration, and sometimes a floor drain.

With three separate contractors, you’re the one coordinating schedules and refereeing when something doesn’t work., the hand-off between trades is where commercial jobs most often go sideways.

Xtreme Air Services is one licensed team for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. Our plumbing work is led by Master Plumber Larry Breedlove. On this page, plumbing and electrical mean the work tied to your mechanical equipment: gas and water lines to boilers and water heaters, condensate piping, equipment wiring, and controls. Restroom fixtures, drain lines, lighting, and general building wiring are covered on our commercial plumbing and commercial electrical pages.

One crew that knows how the pieces connect can finish the job faster, with fewer callbacks. Learn how one-stop commercial service works.

Building Automation / Controls Manage Equipment Efficiently

Who turns the building’s AC down on Friday night? If the answer is “whoever remembers,” building automation / controls can take that job off your list.

Building automation / controls are the systems that tell your HVAC and mechanical equipment when to run, how hard to work, and what temperature to hold. They handle schedules, setpoints, and alarms. Many let you check your building from your phone. Instead of a dozen thermostats doing their own thing, the whole building follows one plan.

More Fort Worth owners are asking about controls as energy costs and equipment wear get harder to ignore. The savings come from simple things. You stop cooling an empty building at 2 a.m., stop running two units against each other, and stop wearing out equipment that didn’t need to run.

Controls also show how your equipment really performs. If a unit runs flat out every afternoon and never catches up, the data makes it plain. That’s often your first clear sign of a building that’s outgrown its system, not one that’s broken.

We install, program, and troubleshoot building automation / controls. Energy management systems, which focus on tracking and cutting energy use, have their own page. Explore building automation / controls.

Whatever your building needs, from a quick repair to a full system plan, call Xtreme Air Services today and a real person will help you sort it out.
